# DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On 1.0 #
################################################## #####
DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On, is not a stand-alone mod. It requires DownloadsII 5.0.4 or higher.
You can find it here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=120122 (free)
// What does it do? //
When a user uploads or updates a file via DownloadsII a thread is created or updated in the specificed forum.
// Features //
1. Ability to global select the forum that receives the new thread and the userid of the thread creator.
2. Ability to decide what forum receives the new thread and the thread creator based on the category of the file
3. Option to have the thread created by the uploader or always assigned to the same user account
4. Option to never create threads by category
5. Usergroup permissions for being allowed to create a new thread
6. Link added between thread and Downloads file detail.
7. Updated Downloads entry creates new post in thread alerting of an update.
8. Database link to Downloads file entry removed if thread is deleted.
9. If the Downloads new entry is placed in moderation, so is the thread.
I just thought of the best idea :D
Basically the opposite of the above. This may not be able to be completed until downloads can have multiple files.
So when a user creates a thread that post and file gets moved to the downloads database.
Options would include:
1. Have the option for the mod to approve the thread before it is accepted or moved to the downloads database.
2. Set it up so each forum is linked to a category in downloads. eg. Forum1 is linked to category X (lets say I have a forum called mac downloads then I would also have a category called mac downloads, and they are both linked together, so when a new thread is created it is moved to that category. If it doesnt have a category that matches it then it is moved to a default category waiting to be approved or moved.
3. Have it say on the downloads database "Official support forum here" and have it link to the thread that created it.
4. Really need to be able to close the thread so no one can post in the downloads database as an option if #3 above is used. because people will be posting in the forum for that download.
I know some of these features may have to wait, but what do you think of the idea so far?
This would be by far the best thing for my forum ever.

how about a points addon so people cannot download lots at once saving on bandwidth? where they reset everyday unless there a certain usergroup then they can earn more and no reset or something as this was draining my band quickly..

We are looking very closely with intergration for vbux. The addition of hooks in ver 5.0.4 was a big step in making it possible.

how about with icash mod its very simple or even your own so you can do stuff like reset for certain usergroups i'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to add with your knowledge.. maybe no points for posting just a certain amount given everyday..

I finally had time to upgrade, it went well and less file edit for me this time :)
1) What data does Prune Download log entries delete?
2)Is there a way to have the same file entry in different category.
example: I want to have a major update category but I also want the file listed in it's regular category.

1) What data does Prune Download log entries delete?
The table dl_downloads can get really, really big for sites that have a lot of downloads. This prunes that table based on the value you enter. So, if you put a 5 in the field, any entries in dl_downloads that are over 5 days old are deleted.
In the admincp -> downloads -> downloads, those are the records in dl_downloads.
2)Is there a way to have the same file entry in different category.
example: I want to have a major update category but I also want the file listed in it's regular category.
Sorry, not supported now but I can see where that would be handy.

JamesNo, that can't actually be done right now. You can prevent a usergroup from seeing a catergory but you can't restrict it in the way you want. That is big on the list of feature enhancements.

So when a user creates a thread that post and file gets moved to the downloads database.
I'll think some on this. My knee jerk reaction is no - that the process needs to stay that adding a file in dowloads creates the thread ... but I do see the value of what you are talking about.

# DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?threadid=130995) 1.0.2 Changelog #
################################################## ###############
- Added option to lock newly created threads
- Added option to not include link to thread in download description
- Added include for Psionic Vision's product to prevent error
- Created drop down selection for forums
Enjoy! Still to come ... thread creation on mass import, thread deletion when the download entry is deleted, and more!
I consider this an essential add-on for DownloadsII. Why don't I just incorporate it into DownloadsII?
By keeping it as a separate add-on we gain three items:
The add-on serves as a great resource for anyone who wants to try developing an add-on to DownloadsII using the hooks in DownloadsII.
I can change and update the Add-On without causing current DownloadsII users to worry about template or custom code revisions.
If you don't want the thread creation features, you won't have those extra options in your admincp.

Thanks again for all your hard work, i had a suggestion for the next release, i think it would be great if we could edit the error msg. users get, for example right now when users try to access files they dont have permission to see , they get a "INVALID ID" msg. thus they think the link is wrong or something, if we could for example edit that msg. and say, only so and so people can access this file, would be great, just something that in my opinion is very useful .

A bit late, but thanks for the upadte. Really working great.
The limiting of unregistered users helps me a lot.
There is no real need to register, but I can motivate them to get more active.
But I also discovered that someone unregistered downloaded one particular file 91 times (getting the counter into the top files I assume).
Well, with 3 files a day he'll have a hard time now ;)
Thanks!
CyberRanger
11-16-2006, 02:13 PM

:) To be sure that the 3 files a day limit is enforced, make sure that the usergroup option "Use strict daily download limits" is set to "Yes". Otherwise, the limit will only be enforced if both the daily MB and # files per day are reached.

Just a few questions, I have been removing bits of the code, to make it easier when I get ready to port it to the non vb page.
However I noticed the top contributers were not working, so I decided to remove that part, however i'm left with the template around it, but what would the best way to go about removing the template, and incorporating my own design. Because I tried to remove a template part, and the whole page went white with nothing on the page or I removed it and I couldnt see any of the text or info I needed.
I have been trying to remove everything that I will not need, so i'm trying to be left with just the latest files and Most Popular Files and nothing else on the page.
This is as far as I have got, (i'll upload the file as well) http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/downloads_tops.php
If you could help me try and remove those last few things, or give me some advice, that would be really good.

EDIT: Also is there a way to pre-view MP3 or other files before downloading??
I'm troubling you a lot.
Thanks Regards.Make sure you have the trailing slash after your absolute path. If that still doesn't work, can you post more details? What is the OS? Is safe mode on?
Sorry - no preview option.

My vote has already gone to DownloadsII.
Sorry to hear that no preview, I may try to add that myself hopefully.
Yeh server is running in safe mod on.
Operating system Linux
Kernel version 2.6.17.6.dn2.p4
Machine Type i686
Apache version 1.3.36 (Unix)
PERL version 5.8.7
Path to PERL /usr/bin/perl
Installed Perl Modules Click to View
PHP version 4.4.3RC3-dev
MySQL version 4.1.21-standard
I used trailing slash still no effect. Is this because of safe mode?? or something else? I have ec_tmp folder under downloads folder.
EDIT: I have Modified the Download link(with js script) to preview mp3, midi, and other supported formats before download, :) if you wish me to publish this I will:cool:
EDIT I solved the other issue as well, I was trying to bulk import images, hence error, as it wasnt there in main allowed file types, after adding it there it worked nice thanks..

ait here I go:
1. Upload attached file to clientscript folder of your vb installation.
2. Edit headInclude Template and
add
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/soundpop.js"></script>
3. Goto Style Manager >> Edit your style >> Downloads Templates >> Downloadsfile>>
Find :
<a href="downloads.php?do=file&id={$file['id']}&act=down" {$target}>
Replace it with:
<a href="downloads.php?do=file&id={$file['id']}&act=down" {$target} onClick="javascript:PlayerOpen('{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_download']} {$file['name']}',this.href); return false">
Thats it.
You can edit soundpop.js to match your style, make sure you don't add too much it is right now just 1kb, just change colors to match your theme.
I take no credit for this js file as it is not coded by me. I just found a way to implement this, maybe CyberRanger can Implement this better then me.

Yeah I had posted another thread over at vbseo as well, which was useful, i never got around to doing any custom code modification, as that got past me a little, but I did do the CRR as that is quite simple, however as there are about 3 people in the last few replys who are using vbseo, maybe we could work together to get the custom code done as that will really help with getting indexed.

Two questions, I've searched this thread and found nothing, so either my search skills are lacking, or it has not been ask, hopefully it is the latter :)
First, Can we store files in a folder not accessible via the web? For instance, my boards path on the server is something like:
/home/username/public_html/boardfolder
Can I add files that I have uploaded to the server via ftp that are stored in a directory such as:
/home/username/downloads2/
And then have them listed as a valid downloadable file?
This leads to the second question. Assuming I ftp upload the file, then link to it later, is there a size limitation I should be aware of for adding files?

This leads to the second question. Assuming I ftp upload the file, then link to it later, is there a size limitation I should be aware of for adding files?No size limitation with in DownloadsII when you link to a file. However, if the file is stored on your local server, I'd recommend using the import feature instead of linking to it. The "link" feature was really intended for files that are stored on a different server.

I have now managed to get the code working on both in the forums dir and in the root dir
http://www.gamerzneeds.net/downloads_tops.php
and
http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/downloads_tops.php
This will now enable me to get it working.
However, I will be gone for 5 days (going to a wedding) so I am unable to do the last thing. The last thing will be to make it not use the vbulletin template at all e.g. no banner, not footer, no background etc. the only thing to show is both tables.
I remember last time I tried removing parts of the code, I got a blank screen, maybe if you get time over the next four days, if you could see what parts of the code need to be removed to do this and If some extra code needs to be written so it shows, could you do this or for a price?
Thanks heaps once again, I really have appreciated what you have done so far :)
edit: I think I have worked out what part of the code that needs to be changed.
Is it this line eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');
Because I have pretty much removed everything else but this line.
What would I have to replace this line with, so I can print out only the tables.
I also am thinking something to do with $HTML .= may be the reason why the page goes white maybe. I have tried everything, but I am catching a plane to catch in 6 hours time at 6 in the morning. Hopefully it will be some simple code that you can throw together, I am happy to pay you for your time as well.

The line eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");'); is what makes the page print. Without that, you will only get a blank page. Replace that with:
echo $HTML; and you'll have nothing but the tables. Of course, you'll need to go in now and add your styles if you don't call any of the standard vb templates.
The attached downloads_tops.php file moves most of the php stuff to the top of the file so you can more clearly see the table layout of the html.
I've also attached another file called simple_tops.php. This is a very simple output so you can very easily see what's happening. :)

Congrats, CyberRanger and RS_Jelle! This is well deserved! :up: :) You guys provide very good support for the mod.
Can we expect to see some major new features in the next few versions?
Here are some features on my wish list, from memory. :)
- multiple files or download mirrors
- multiple folders for downloads (so they don't all get uploaded to the same folder, which can be problematic when there are tons of files)
- Uploading a new file also deletes the old file, so obsolete files don't take up space
- More advanced search page
- Comment editing
- Comment reporting
- Add a category column on Member's Files and My Files
- Latest files module for the forum and non-vB main site? don't know if one already exists or not...
- Don't allow uploader to rate his own files... too many people give their own files 5 stars
- Report file (for broken link, bad file, etc)
- Pre-filled the Author field with uploader's user name when adding file

Thanks so much, that is exactly what I was trying to accomplish, now I'll try and implement the design from the cms, and implement it either directly into the code of the cms, or through this other way, (forgot name lol)
I just need to work out how to do it to other modules on vbadvanced now, hopefully I will be able to see how you have done the simple_tops.php file and hopefully not too many changes will need to be made.
Big congrats on making MOTM well deserved.

edit: you can see it in action here http://www.gamerzneeds.net/ it is down the bottom on the left hand side.

Arjan
12-07-2006, 10:04 AM
Sure.
Here are a few things that cause problems at the moment
do=manfiles:
Sometimes there is the &act parameter sometimes not. Make sure it allways has the &act parameter so the rewriterule does not fail on it.
Myfiles uses the do=my parameter. Somehow the rewriterule fails on the "my" parameter.
The request to add the filename in the parameters is so we can read it from the parameters and make html filename containing it.
so you get http://www.mydomain.com/forums/file184-my-great-hack.html
Searchengines will then present the page containing the file sooner since the name is allready in the URL.
Just mind to strip the special chars. :)

you can find the list of vBSEO Functions for Extensibility here: http://www.vbseo.com/f2/vbseo-functions-extensibility-1662/ (it can be used to integrate vBSEO functionality in 3rd party products).
Otherwise, you can simply include file/category titles in dynamic URL as Arjan mentioned above and vBSEO's "Custom Rewrite Rules" feature will take care of everything else. :)

If you get a blank page when accessing downloads.php then you didn't upload the files properly. Delete the files you uploaded and re-upload them.

Uploaded the files again and get the same result, I presume the upload directory files get placed into the relavant forum folders.

yes, what I've found is that the file downloads.php is dying when it tries to include ./includes/functions.php. When I examined your functions.php file, it was the wrong size for vb ver 3.6.4. I think it would be good if you re-uploaded your ver 3.6.4 files. Something seems to have gone wrong during your original upload. Let me know once you've done that and I'll look some more.:)

J?rgenah ... darn! That's actually a problem in the PM notification add-on. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=130536)
Look in the plugins "Alert Mods to New File in Moderation" and "Alert Mods to Edited File in Moderation". The code needs to be added near the beginning of each of those plugins.

That's a browser issue, probably there's a standard target directory setting. So have a look at your browser options.

Thanks :classic:
The author field is a bad thing indeed. That's our biggest problem now: dealing with Ron1n's code and database layout. Version 6 will be recoded from ground up because of this, so there will be a big upgrade script to do a lot of changes :p
We will be using the datastore cache (less queries), removing those double author fields, introduce downloads2 as the new product name (currently we are still using ecdownloads for the vBulletin product system, otherwise upgrades would be problematic), ...

I thought about adding a "most popular downloads this week" function in v6 :)
A timeline would be more difficult, then you should keep storing ALL the downloads in your downloads log. For large sites this is impossible.

I have a small problem, when setting a category for website images and only allowing images to be uploaded it does not seem to read the admincp settings for allowed images ie.. png jpg etc it keeps giving me you are not allowed to upload thoses extensions. When I added the image extensions to the allowed file extensions it worked. Not sure if this is a bug or I missed something in my settings or does the image extensions need to be listed in the file extensions too, just thought that was redundant.
RS_Jelle
12-31-2006, 11:34 AM
File extensions are for the "upload file" option while adding a file (which could be an image if it's listed in the file extensions).
Image extensions are for uploading images to a file (underneath the description) after adding the file.

I don't understand it really? You can place it in one of the three (or more, you can set that in the vBa options) columns of vBa CMPS. It's designed particularly for the left and right one, but you can always modify the adv_portal_ecdownloads template for your needs ;)

Open downloads.php
FIND
$parsed_text = $parser->do_parse($file['description'], false, true, true, true, true, $cachable);
REPLACE WITH
$parsed_text = $parser->do_parse($file['description'], true, true, true, true, true, $cachable);
For your information: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82693
There you can see what you need to change for allowing/disallowing images, smilies, bbcode and nl2br.
This will be an option in the next version, because this is something a lot of people want to set (together with allowing/disallowing images in the description etc.).

That's not possible very easy. It seems me more logical to count the amount of downloads casuse it's a download system :)
To remove it from the category view:
Open downloads_cat_filebit
Remove this bit of code:
<td class="$bgclass" valign="top" align="center" height="40"><span class="smallfont">{$file['downloads']}</span></td>
Open downloads_cat_files
Remove this bit of code:
<td class="thead" width="10%" align="center"><a href="./downloads.php?do=cat&id={$_GET['id']}&sort=downloads" rel="nofollow">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads']}</a></td>
i dont use vba portal i only use forum ı want to move left modules (latest files,most popular files...) to bottom of navbar how can i do it ? do you understand me ? for example please look here http://www.elitecoders.org/
That's not possible at this moment. But ... the templates to do this is already avaiable, so you only need a small plugin to render it on the forum home. Another person also requested it some time ago, so I will look into this to create a small add-on for this ;)

That would be great but hopefully vbux will last a while longer, I have the bad feeling that it wont work in the coming months after a few more vbulletin updates because it is no longer supported.
It is great how this hack has been well supported throughout and is still continuing to be updated, it makes me excited for the next update :)

hmmm kinda same here..maybe next or next next release of vb...vbux wont be supported with that vb(3.6.8 or what ever)
in that case downloads II should be integrated with that points system which will be supported with that vb release or vb can give a thought with this huge popular Add-ons(vbux)
But its future :)

In order to use vbbux for my downloads, I've been forced to have the download button link to a post with an attachment rather than the file. The post's attachment is the file since vbplaza has the feature to charge vbbux for attachments. I have the forums the threads are in hidden so you can only get to them by going through the Downloads. I had all downloads cost different amounts based on file size and other criteria like type and popularity, but vbplaza only allowed setting a default cost, so I had to make database edits for the vbbux cost of each attachment individually.
But this all had to be done manually. It was such a pain and a roundabout way of doing it. I have just disabled new uploads until this integration hopefully with version 6.

I found a bug in the Downloads II plugin(I think). Maybe this has been answered, but I didn't find it.
When clicking on a members profile to see the files they have uploaded, one member has 4 pages worth of files. When I click on the next page to see the other downloads, nothing happens, it does not continue to the next page. Basically it is stuck on page one and will not show the other pages of downloads this member has uploaded.
I am wondering if this is because of the vBSEO plugin I am using?? When I hover over the next page, the link the url says "http://www.simracingdesign.com/members/jasonrsc.html"
I would like to figure this out so I can keep a watchful eye on the amount of downloads my staff are required to meet per month.

from ur vb acp..see ur php.info .
note that these are server side customization unless ur dedictaed server.
here is one of my idea..if it can be added with downlaodsII
like : ibproaracde has an existing option that : daily *post needed to play arcade.User can enter arcade zone but cant play.
can DownloadsII use this option ?
----------------------
So that user has to post X to enter download zone.
Its a similar option.I think downlaods II can use the same option.
Pls think.

I set up the php max file size to 60 mb ^^
it worked before my move to another server, so maybe the scripts are damaged?

helo..
u r on a shared host ?
if yes..u have changed file size to 60MB from ur php.ini . but it cant overwrite the main php.ini
2ndly : what is ur script execution time. I gez it maybe +/- 30 Sec.
firstly contact ur Host provider and ask
1. max file upload size. [if u based on mp3 8MB is enugh]
2. script execution time.[its alos imp. if execution time is 30 sec and with in 30sec if ur file upload not finish.U will face error]
so plz collect these info...
If ur on vps or dedicated try increasing ur max file size + Script Execution time.
there is no reason damage script during migration...we have migrated 3 times within last 1.5months. ALl of our script is okay.We just have to do the CHMOOD.

Useless since there is no Option to add Categorys by ModCP or from Downloadlist and there is no possibility to leave fields blank that you dont want to use.
Nice for up to 4 or 5 Categorys with a very small amount of Links.
Absolutelly terrible at more then over 50 Categories and 1000 Links.
yeap...having some option with in modcp(enable/disbale option at modcp) would be nice...

it actually works great for me, since I want to use the system for s pecific file and versions.
I will only be the one who uploads, or has any control over it.
however id stil llike to hide the download link from users until the user who wants to download, actually replies or "comments" on the download first. (call it a hide hack thing)
here is one of my idea..if it can be added with downlaodsII

Rebuild the bitfields: admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields. I think that will fix it.
I am having the same problem. I rebuilt the bitfields, but it's still happening. Only to those of us logged in, not for guests.

I found a bug in the Downloads II plugin(I think). Maybe this has been answered, but I didn't find it.
When clicking on a members profile to see the files they have uploaded, one member has 4 pages worth of files. When I click on the next page to see the other downloads, nothing happens, it does not continue to the next page. Basically it is stuck on page one and will not show the other pages of downloads this member has uploaded.
I am wondering if this is because of the vBSEO plugin I am using?? When I hover over the next page, the link the url says "http://www.simracingdesign.com/members/jasonrsc.html"
I would like to figure this out so I can keep a watchful eye on the amount of downloads my staff are required to meet per month.
I have already reported a similiar bug to vbseo last week, infractions in members profiles where there was a second page would also not go to any other page. maybe you should report this one as well since its happening on your board, i dont think i have any members with 4 pages in there profile.

I thought about adding a "most popular downloads this week" function in v6 :)
A timeline would be more difficult, then you should keep storing ALL the downloads in your downloads log. For large sites this is impossible.
That would be really good to have, most popular downloads this week.

I had this same problem add another hack, whole site went white, couldnt log in to site or adminpc. I contacted vbulliten, they inreturn told me it was from a plugin I added and they dont support sites using mods not approved by vbulliten. But they did tell me to go to my site via ftp and to do the message below, but that didnt work. I then find out that somehow I overloaded my servers hard drive & it failed. To make matters even worse all my backups had corrupt files. Server hard drive was going bad way before I enter it. I tried everything to get it back, but ended up having to re-build. I lost 1000's, & 1000's of hours of work. Everything was rebuilt without being able to use any files from my old site folder,because they were corrupt. I was upset needless to say, but what could I do?
Listed below is what vbulliten.com told me to do, Hopefully this will help you pin point which plugin crashed your site. Good Luck.
from vbulliten:
Please disable all plugins on your board and tell us if the problem
persists.
Edit your config.php file and add the following line after <?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
Then reupload config.php to your forum's includes folder.
As for reading line numbers, there ae several free programs that allow
this. My text editor of choice is TextPad. http://www.textpad.com
You should be able to log into your admincp, reactivate each plugin seperatly and refreshing your site after each reactivation to see if that particular plugin was the one causing the problem. Once you find it un-install it. Good luck, Hope this will help you out.

Okay. My web provider rebooted the server. Then I uninstalled the previous version of Downloads II. I reinstalled it, and all is well. However, it no longer recognizes the directory of downloads. The path is:
/public_html/b/downloads/
Then for the Download URL, I put in for the relative path:
/downloads
and I get:
Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/downloads/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/sewmama/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /downloads.php on line 157
If I put:
Then I get:
The download directory does not exist!
I have these files in this folder, which I chmodded to 777. They are all .pdf files. I can link to them directly so I know they are there.
Any help? Thanks ever so much!! :o

well im not sure about these script errors, im also recieving errors with vbugtracker, and i KNOW now that these errors didnt exist before my site got moved.... but im not sure of exact time that something got messed up or WHAT got messed up.
so far it only seems to be the two hacks i mentioned having any problems, downloadsII and vbug tracker....
reinstalling them doesnt fix it either :\
im just wondering any if anyone knows what could be causing this or maybe if there is an option somewhere i missed that would cause script errors like this.

Hi there!
First please excuse my bad english!
The mod is really great,
but i have one little problem with the description-images added to a download,
when you click on it, the 403 error message come up, cause the image-file didnt have
the right chmod... I have set the 2 Folders "downloads" and "ec_temp" to chmod 777, but i need to change every single description-image-file from chmod 600 to 644 to get the large image working :( Dont want to disable the description-images...
Why it dont set it automatic on my webspace?
All other work fine!
Hope you undsertand me, and thanks for any help :o

It will be extremely helpful for me if I could assign different upload folders per categories, since those same files are used somewhere else. That would avoid the necessity to upload the same file twice. Is there an easy way to implement that?
Talking it over with my admins, will most likely be an isntall! Good work!

The easiest way I found would be to use "abbr" for $this->url
Is there a way to implement that? I really would like to categorize the downloads folder. I have all sort of mp3, videos etc... By categorizing them, I could also allow people to "preview" before downloading, simply by dropping wimpy (http://www.wimpyplayer.com/) in that folder. When they are all in same folder, that's really no good for me. Right now I am forced to create 2 folders for same files
Any hints on how to do it?

I a new to V.
It seems that this thread is the best place to post this question:
Is there any option to limit download attachement by units!
I explain:
The system for now is:
Can Upload Attachments Yes No
Space (in bytes) that a user's total attachment usage may consume (Set to 0 to not have a limit)
New feature
Numbers Of Attachment Users Can download:
1. X attachments per day or/and
2. x attachments per week or/and
3. x attachments per month or/and
4. whatever the first quota is filled up
5. option to transfer the remaining quota to the next month if not used
All this could be combined with the quota in terms of kilobytes (already existing features) or not!
Having a control as it is now by limiting the kilobytes is OK. With the new feature, it would be a lot more flexible.
I read your add on feature amd if I am right, it seems a much better feature than V now but not exactly what i have in mind!
As you are a specialist in the attachment line, maybe you could tell me if such a plug in exits ..at all!
Thanks!

I tried uploading a small 2.3mb zip file after my install.

I tried the .htaccess fix suggested in the other posts... but nuthing... please help!
Hi, a Mod of my Forum has found a small bug:
In "manage Files" the pagination does not work if none of the Drop Down Fields are selected.
When I select for example in the DropDown "Approval" all acepted files, the pagination works.
Here is a link from the pagination when the DropDown "Approval" is not selected:
downloads.php?do=manfiles&pin=0&approval=0&page=3
The variable approval is 0, after clicking this link i get only non approved files even the DropDown isn't selected.
