Firstly I would like to say thank you to developers of this product. I am not a coder but I certainly appreciate the hard work that developers put into creating the mods/products.

I run a local community forum/web site where I upload several council meeting videos (swf, wmv, flv formats), documents (pdf), video snippets, graphics (jpg, gif).

I am looking at this product mainly to house my videos. I am not that good on PHP yet so when I add something, it takes me a bit and I am hesitent to change once I have a product installed.

Will this product handle my video collection?

Thanks in advance.

I have the very same thing and I am using this to: play mp3, allow users to click on a link that adds to a private playlist which they can later on play all selected songs.

Adding videos should be fairly simple. If you want to allow them to play it, I would recommand using wimpy wasp. It's very simple to embed the code in the template and with conditionals, it would display only for specific videos categories (no need to display for documents) and with a one line code of javascript, they could play video before downloading it.

Hi Lionel, thank you for the response.

I own WimpyAV and use that currently for my council meeting videos. I don't know anything about conditionals. Can you show me how to to setup my video as you described?

Thanks in advance.

Lionel

Can you show me how to to setup my video as you described?

I use wimpy wasp

upload wasp.js in the clientscript folder

Between the <head></head> of the DOWNLOADS template put

<script language='clientscript/javascript' src='wasp.js'></script>

and in the template downloads file, put in

<script>
waspEmbed('downloads/{$file['url']}', 250, 188);
</script>

250 and 188 are width and height of video size and you need to adjust according to your need.

I would put it above the download button. I would even remove the big download button since we have been provided with links if all you do is videos.

Now if you have other categories which are not videos, like pdf or zip, this is where it gets tricky. You'll need to edit the downloads.php file , do a left join to get category parent so you could do your conditional <if condition="$parent=='XX'">display video, don't display download button<else />just display download button</if>

Hi,

how to enable download resume?

akulion

01-31-2007, 01:01 PM

working wonderfully with 3.6.4

I just have 1 question - is there another way for the person who submits the file to upload a preview or thumbnail for the download?

Because leaving the 'upload image' option enabled in the permissions allows everyone to add images even to an already submitted download which kinda looks strange

When I try to update counters at my site (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downloads.php?), it appears to time out and everything is stuck at zero. Could you implement the hack they use in the official vB counters, i.e., the paging thing? Could I run some queries manually on mysql, or use some other workaround?

But I have a photography forum, we post image files and photoshop things so it would be nice to have an sample image of what's being uploaded.
Is that possible?

I would like to have this as well.... info plz

Also is there a way to add in the "Whats going on" section the total number of downloads you have in your download section? like total members = 100 , total posts = 100, total downloads avalible = 100

Lionel

02-02-2007, 09:42 PM

How is that done?:up:

easy. In includes/class_downloads.php look for

function update_latest_files()

To grab URL, replace the $statslatestfiles_q with this

$statslatestfiles_q = $db->query_read("SELECT name, id, url FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files WHERE `purgatory`='0' ORDER BY `date` DESC LIMIT ".$this->statslatestfiles."");

and right below, in the while loop, add (please note I only get the first name of the extension as in my case they are unique. Like f for flv, m for mp3, p for pdf. If yours are not unique, like mp3 or mov both start with "m" then you need the substring method to get full extension name)

$fname=$latest['url'];
$ficon=$fname{strlen($fname)-3};
if ($ficon=='f'){$icon="<img src=\"/forums/images/icons/icon_video.gif\" alt=\"video\">";}else if ($ficon=='m'){$icon="<img src=\"/forums/images/music.png\" alt=\"mp3\">";}else{$icon="";}

do the similar for the function function update_popular_files()
SELECT `id`,`name`,`downloads`,`url`

then add $icon in template

I did some more nifty tricks with downloads, like allowing people to pick and choose songs to add to a playlist (icon changes to "remove" if they were added, then play all of them.

Also is there a way to add in the "Whats going on" section the total number of downloads you have in your download section? like total members = 100 , total posts = 100, total downloads avalible = 100

total downloads available should be very easy. I don't have time do do the plugin but I could post some code that I am using for something else that read how many files of certain defined extensions there are in folder. I do this for another folder somewhere else with a vbadvanced module.

Hi Lionel and thank you for helping me with this but I am stuck.

I added the wasp.js in the clientscript folder and I put the js link to it between the head on the downloads template.

Where do I put this and is it in the downloads template or the downloads.php file?
<script>
waspEmbed('downloads/{$file['url']}', 250, 188);
</script>

I am completely lost and don't know what to do with the following instruction:

The only documents that I will be using are PDF, EXCEL, WMV, FLV and SWF files.

This is fantastic stuff. I will be playing around with the settings and I'll be sure to post back here when I know more about what kind of mods I can do. In the meantime I have a question:

The number 1 resource I am sharing with my download manager is image files. I would like a thumbnail to be automatically generated when the file uploaded is an image itself... eg if I upload a 1200x256 image I want it to automatically create a shrunk-down version as the first thumbnail on the list. It is a hassle to have to manually add a thumbnail every time. Is there an easy way to do this?

./downloads/ and ./ec_tmp/ folder are both chmod 777.

Linked downloads work fine. I have this problem only with uploaded downloads.

EDIT: I took a look at our PHP info and it says
disable_functions: system, exec, shell_exec, passthru, shell, show_source, copy, proc_open, symlink, popen

Maybe that has something to do with it?

CyberRanger

How can I do that? Is it possible to do with ftp programs?No, you can't do that with an ftp program. You'll need shell access or else you'll need to have your host do it. But, I think you need "copy" removed from the disabled_functions. Your host will need to do that unless you can edit php.ini yourself.

I think I already know the answer to this question but I'm gonna ask it anyway.

Could it be possible to have the default upload directory be an external host? So when someone adds a download and uploads the file from his pc, could it be that it's being uploaded to another webhost/ftp/whatever instead of the host where the forum is located?

No, that's not possible. For v6 we are planning the possibility to use safer, non web, storage locations, but not external ones.

Ok thanks for the quick answer, it's what I thought hehe. One other thing which might be need. At this moment I've got 2 servers. One for my site (site itself takes up all the available bandwidth) and one for my downloads (3gb of downloads, 400+ gb of bandwidth). Most categories don't look that neat without those thumbnail previews. Is there a way to add a feature in DownloadsII that you can also add thumbnail previews using a different server or for example ImageShack. I guess the last one should work coz they automaticly make thumbnails. I think a lot of people would like to see this coz screenshots just take up a lot of unnecessary bandwidth.

Could you look into making something for this? Would be a really neat feature and it will make many DownloadsII structure look way better.

This program is used by a lot of sites, some that are very active and the response time is terrific. If you are having a slow response time, it's related to your server, not the program. We use pretty much the exact same algorithm to conduct the file download as LDM so I don't think you'll see any difference. Can you post a link to your site so we can to some testing? Of better yet, PM me an admin login/password to your site?

Thanks.

Sorry, I linked a wrong post for the server question, this is the correct url: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1193366&postcount=1059

Btw: vBadvanced CMPS 2.2.1 (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18346) is out for ome time now (it's a quick update to do).

Some other things: the shoutbox is a very nice mod, but it's causing high server loads if you haven't got a heavy server. Are you using the vBulletin datastore cache (that you can set in your config.php)? That can give your site some more speed.

@CyberRanger: you can use the username dropdown to visit his site :p
The site is responding very slow on my computer.

Hi,

I've problems with the errormsg "Sorry! You have exceeded your daily allowed download amount." I get this for my User (Administrator).

The settings for this Usergroup are:

All Limits are -1 and "strict daily download limits" is false.

When I try the Usergroup for registered Users it seems to work altough a registered user informed me about the same error message he got.

I've tried to rebuild the bitfields, but it didn't helped.

I've began to debugging the script an it seems the error comes at this piece of code:

// check if max is set to zero
if (($permissions['ecdownloadsmaxdailydl'] == 0) AND ($permissions['ecdownloadsmaxdailyfiles'] == 0))
{
eval(print_standard_redirect('ecdownloads_daily_do wnload_amount_exceeded', true, true));
}

because $permissions['ecdownloadsmaxdailydl'] and $permissions['ecdownloadsmaxdailyfiles'] seems to bee '0'

any Ideas?

No, there's no method to get around the problem then. Either they need to disable php safe mode, either they need to allow the copy function. DownloadsII isn't supporting database storage of files like the attachments feature of vBulletin does.

It's a strange host, they just entirely disallow the uploading of files using php, a strange thing (cause that's a widely used php feature) :confused:

This is my tree:

I`d say this is a basic option that file manager should have it.
So i have music category and group1(rock) and group2(pop) under it. Now every group must have at least 50 sub.cats ,. and this is not possible :(

That's something what we are working on :p
DownloadsII is a direct derivate from Ron1n's ecDownloads with some very poor code. Our main target for v5 was to fix the security issues (that's why ecDownloads isn't available any more) and some big bugs. v6 will be a completely new version, with new (better) code :D

I guess you have lots of categories, which is causing this amazing amount. There's no cache at the moment, v6 will cache lots of things (also the categories) in the datastore.

The amount isn't a gigantic problem at the moment, because it are a lot of small queries (the downloads category table isn't that large normally, so there are no huge table scans necessary for them). Ofcourse the amount is bad and they will be cached in v6 when possible.

After having a disgruntled user go through every download and give a grade of F, we decided we don't even really need the rating system. Very few ratings were given for any downloads, other than those done maliciously. I can easily edit the templates to do away with all rating references, but is there an option I missed to do that automatically? (I didn't see anything mentioned in a quick search of this thread.)

If nothing like that already exists, could the rating system be optional in the next version? :)

You can disable the rating feature using the user group permissions, but that's not removing the old ratings. It's only removing the rating form for new ratings. You can truncate the dl_votes table and reset the total vote score using phpMyAdmin, but then you still see the "No votes" message, so you still need to edit your templates. But editing them to remove it isn't that difficult, it's just one piece of code to remove in the downloads_file template (and don't forget the user group permission also):
<tr>
<td class="alt1">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_grade']}:</td>
<td class="alt2" colspan="2" valign="middle" align="left">$grade</td>
<td class="alt1" valign="middle" align="center" width="28%">$userscore</td>

I don't think we will integrate such a feature, because it makes things a lot more difficult. I don't think many people will use it and it's just very difficult to integrate with neat thumbnails etc. (+ ImageShack is most of the time very slow :( ). I always try to keep things on my own site, those webservices aren't very professional to use (you don't manage them yourself, so you don't have any control about them).

yeah im just waiting for the dns to update this way you can access it and I will send you a pm as soon as it does. I will set the user up and all this way you can see it for yourself. Like I said its a brand new site and brand new install of the downloads hack and it is there. I had it there before but I figured it was something I edited but its nothing I have edited cause its been there from the time I imported the product on a brand new install. I can even set up a test site and show you the same thing on a fresh install with nothing on it but this mod.

but when I was looking at the source here is what it showed.

<td class="controlbar"><textarea name="message" id="vB_Editor_001_textarea" rows="10" cols="60" style="width:520px; height:250px" tabindex="1" dir="ltr">.</textarea></td>

After placing the .htaccess, or also without the .htaccess?
Probably it's the php.ini upload limit setting. You can change this yourself when you have server access (SSH), but when you are on a shared host you need to ask this to your hosting company (and probably they won't change it, which is normal because of server loads).

The quota aren't mixed, there are just two quota types: maximum upload size, maximum download size (usergroup permissions). So when someone adds a new file, this code checks if he won't exceed the maximum allowed upload size.

I hate deadlines :p, but I hope to make it within this and three weeks. This week I'm on a holiday school trip to Italy (starting this evening until Tuesday next week). Starting next week, we've got two weeks of holiday, so I'm trying to get it finished then (or at least a stable beta without some time intensive features to code).

I attached two screenshots, one of the new categories admin and one of the updated downloads log.
The new categories admin should be easier to use (the current one is a bit strange). For the downloads log I replaced the automatic log pruner with a vBulletin like prune system. There are also some other small enhancements: time display (in the past there only was the date), ip display (with a link to the vBulletin ip search feature, so you can view the hostname immediately) and the username link changed to the user admin instead of member.php now.

hi,

i am wondering is it possible to display a category form where is a particular file?

so if click for example on http://www.xxx.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=14880 page from `Newest files` I cant actually see where is that file from, from what category.....

You can control that through usergroup settings. You would need to have people with zero post as normal registered users. Then, when they make a post (or have x number of posts) have vb automatically move them to a new usergroup that can download files.

yeah that would be nice too but what im talking about is move that table from the side to the top like it was when ronin had it. with all them on top of each page (above downloads navbar like the old one) or a option to have them on side.

I don't get it fully. There's already the "Display "Tops" on all pages?" option in the settings?

That looks very well organized, Jelle.

If the new version uses phrases for everything we all would be happy :)

You just guessed correct another feature, the AdminCP part will the fully phrased too now :D

i have a suggestion, is there anyway to add an upload/download ratio into the postbit? that would be superb if possible

Have a look at this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1020522&postcount=2) or the readme file included in the package, this is already possible :)
You need to do the postbit template changes for it and enable the option in the DownloadsII settings.

That's something for after the v6 release. We are recoding everything now, so creating the plugin now is a bit stupid because we need to remake it immediately after the release then. Please request it again after the release, then we will take a look at it and possibly make it. There are normally enough hook locations in the code to do this without code changes.

so if click for example on http://www.xxx.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=14880 page from `Newest files` I cant actually see where is that file from, from what category.....

So you mean displaying the category name in the left (or top) stats window? That's a bit difficult because it's too small for this, and putting it on a new line makes thing cluttered (too much information in a too small space).

Hi

What's the PHP upload limit for files? You can check it on the main page of the AdminCP. Do other (smaller) uploads work?
Also try Extra -> Internet Options -> Advanced (tab) in Internet Explorer and enable the "Disable error tracing in scripts" option (normally it's standard enabled). I'm using a dutch Internet Explorer version, so I don't know what the german terms are for this and also the English ones are a complete guess, but the option should be there.

RS_Jelle

04-04-2007, 02:36 PM

No, that's not possible at this moment (we only have a vBadvanced CMPS module). vbPortal is paid software and we don't have a license for it, so we can't test with it or create modules for it.

I suggest you to contact someone of vbPortal and ask if they want to code it for you. Normally it's very easy to do, it's just modifying the vBadvanced CMPS module to the vbPortal format.

How to prevent users from rating their own files

Hi everyone,

I tweaked the template a bit so it prevents uploaders from rating their own files. I don't know about you, but on my forum people often immediately give their files "A+" after uploading. This will prevent that.

To add this feature:

1) Go to your AdminCP and edit the template named "downloads_file"

2) Find $userscore in that template.

3) Replace it with these lines:


<if condition="$bbuserinfo[username] == $file['uploader']">
You cannot rate your own file.
<else />
$userscore
</if>


Hope you find this useful. :)

PS: Jelle, feel free to incorporate this into the product if you like it. :)

That's very difficult, mostly because of the different audio and video standards. v6 will introduce an extensions admin so you can choose the sended headers just like with the attachments. That can help you to point the browser to a correct media player instead of a download window.

That's a personal computer problem: you have set this option to open it instead giving the download prompt. There are two prompt options: open and download file, and you can set this option for the future. So take a look at your browser options.

I encountered a problem, don't know if it's since the last java update but it could be. I don't know for sure when it started.

When trying to upload a file, the file -will- be uploaded but a java error appears too.
I tried to translate the java error in English, because my browser is in Dutch and the error notice is displayed in Dutch too.

This is what it says:
Line: 284
Sign: 7
Error: 'length' is empty or no object
Code: 0
URL: http://www.myforums.org/board/downloads.php?do=add&cat=

I put "sign" als the Dutch word for "teken" and I changed the name of my forum in the url but rest is like it should be.

Some uploaders of my forum think they have a problem and won't upload anymore because it also says at a certain moment "ready, but with errors" in the statusbar next to the java error, while upload is still busy and if ready, the upload is 100% correct as far as I can see.

So just a java error is generated (IE6 fully updated).

How can this be fixed?
I run Vbulletin 3.6.5 with VBA cmps, and the VBA CMPS downloads addon.

The problem with that is that this can't be set on psp and it has to be set correctly in the script so when the psp just left clicks the download, the file should choose to be saved. This works for mp3 files when I tried but not wmv or mp4.

Hmm, strange, I can't reproduce that bug in IE 6. Are you using IE 6 or the new version 7?

Also: which versions of Java Runtime Environment are you running? Check your software install/destall panel in Windows and list all the versions/updates.

I can't find a variable length somewhere on line 284. So there's no special DownloadsII JavaScript using 'length' somewhere :confused:

Black Tiger

04-24-2007, 06:50 PM

I'm using really IE6, I don't like the 7.
Let's check the Java Runtime Environment... J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 update with several updates, update 11 is the last one in there.

Maybe the problem is coming from vBA? I did not updated that to the latest version.
I do have the vBA Downloads II addon installed. You fixed something in the headinclude templates some time ago for me, that's still in there, working fine.

Also I tested with Firefox and with Firefox, no problems occur.

Strange indeed :D
I suggest you to first update vBadvanced CMPS. That's really, really easy and my fix normally should stay the same (the integration feature stays the same to use). Then we are sure that's not the problem etc.

Java v5 is an old version. Some time ago v6 was released, but v5 still keeps getting updates. But ofcourse it's better to move to the newest release. The bad thing about Java is also that it keeps adding updates (what you can see in your software panel :p). So the best thing is removing all Java things first and then install the newest version.

Have you chmodded the downloads folder to 777? For uploading mp3's you need to add mp3 to the Allowed File Extensions list in the DownloadsII options.

If it's a big file upload problem, you probably need to change your php.ini to allow it. You can also do this using a .htaccess (hava a look at this topic, it's mentioned a lot of times already).

Also: is your server running PHP in safe mode (you can see this in the AdminCP)? Then you need to create yourself an ec_temp folder inside the downloads folder and chmod it also to 777.

Why would you like to do that? I don't understand what you are trying to reach with that?
That's just adding one query to the php and some minor changes, but I find it a bit strange :p
Normally you have hundreds of files, so you really need categories and putting everything on one page would be a mess because of that.

That's not possible at this moment and I don't think it's going to become a new feature. Ofcourse you can create it yourself very easy.

You have to edit downloads.php and add this to the end (inside the latest conditional, the else one, before the evals in it):

$result = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl2_files WHERE ".$filesexclude);
while ($file = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
$alldownloads .= '<tr><td><a href="downloads.php?do=file&id='.$file['id'].'"></a></td><td></td>'.$file['downloads'].'</tr>";
}

Now you can add in the downloads_main template {$alldownloads} where you want (indeed, with { and }). So it will look something like this to add in the template:

Just add your Javascript popup code to the correct template. For adding it to the downloadbutton together with downloading the file, you need a bit more complicated code.

For Javascript popup code: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=javascript+popup
The first result is already a good one :)

Note that a lot of people are using a popup blocker and that popups are really irritating things.

You have to edit downloads.php and add this to the end (inside the latest conditional, the else one, before the evals in it):

$result = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl2_files WHERE ".$filesexclude);
while ($file = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
$alldownloads .= '<tr><td><a href="downloads.php?do=file&id='.$file['id'].'"></a></td><td></td>'.$file['downloads'].'</tr>";
}

Now you can add in the downloads_main template {$alldownloads} where you want (indeed, with { and }). So it will look something like this to add in the template:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="1">
<tr><td>File</td><td>Downloads</td></tr>
{$alldownloads}
</table>

It should work, but I didn't test it, so there might be an error in it.

I've try, but it seems doesn't work ;( (i think i've do something wrong, cause there is no change on main page when i paste {$alldownloads} to downloads_main template).
But still thank you for help :)

the query is slightly wrong. should be:

$filesexclude = $dl->exclude_files();
$result = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files WHERE ".$filesexclude);
while ($file = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
$alldownloads .= '<tr><td><a href="downloads.php?do=file&id='.$file['id'].'"></a></td><td></td>'.$file['downloads'].'</tr>";
}

You should be placing this around line 1977 BEFORE this:
eval('$dmain_jr .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_main') . '";');

if ($dl->statslatestfiles > 0 OR $dl->statstopcontributers > 0 OR $dl->statsmostpopularfiles > 0)

This is some old Ron1n code. Strangely it doens't control the order of the downloads, but the categories :D
Open your downloads.php and search for:
if ($sortfield == '')
{
$sortfield = 'date';
}
Change it to:
if ($sortfield == '')
{
$sortfield = 'name';
}
This is already fixed in v6 as there will be a category based option to control this.

Thumbs have a default size which you can't adjust easily. You need to modify downloads.php for this.
You can change the thumbs lay-out, but that's also in downloads.php ($dimages variable).

(($permissions['ecdownloadpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['ecdownloadpermissions']['caneditownfiles']) AND

}

Change to
$dimages .= '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" border="0"><tr>';
while ($image = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
if (file_exists($dl->url.$image['thumb']))
{
$dimages .= '<td><a href="'.$dl->url.$image['name'].'"><img src="'.$dl->url.$image['thumb'].'" alt="'.$file['name'].'" title="'.$file['name'].'" border="0" /></a></td>';

}
}
$dimages .= '</tr><tr>';
while ($image = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
if (($permissions['ecdownloadpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['ecdownloadpermissions']['caneditallfiles']) OR
(($permissions['ecdownloadpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['ecdownloadpermissions']['caneditownfiles']) AND
(($image['uploaderid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) AND ($file['uploaderid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']))))
{
$edit = '<span class="smallfont"><a href="./downloads.php?do=file&id='.$file['id'].'&act=delimg&img='.$image['id'].'" onclick="return delete_it()">'.$vbphrase['delete'].'</a></span>';
}

{

7.9MB isn't very small, a lot of hosts are setting smaller values as the PHP upload limit. But you can change this easily with a .htaccess (have a search in the thread for this).

Yes, but the point is...if it checked the file type before commencing the full upload, it'd save a lot of time.

That's a bit difficult, just because the PHP routine: it's a post method form, so when you click the submit button the first it does is uploading it totally before processing the php work.

So the same "problem" also exist for the vBulletin attachement manager for forum posts. At the moment there's no real fix possible.

I tested it and it works without errors. You should be replacing it wrong or something like that. Watch out for the brackets.

}
}
}

Replace with

while ($image = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
if (($permissions['ecdownloadpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['ecdownloadpermissions']['caneditallfiles']) OR

cu
logofreax

Hmm, that's almost impossible. The sortfield variable is used only in the query to get the downloads from the database of the category you are viewing. It has nothing to do with any categoy query or sort option :confused:
Maybe you changed the sort option in the DownloadsII settings which affects the category sorting?

is it possible to make the download page an index infront of the forums example

http://www.site.com/index.php (downloads.php)

That's possible as you can change the forum index script name in the vBulletin options. But you can't just rename downloads.php to index.php. Then you also need to replace all the downloads.php instances in downloads.php itself and the templates, as there is no easy option to do this. But ... it should work if you do this all, and it's not that difficult if you are familiar with PHP :)

To the right of the image it says:

by UserName on Today [Delete]

How would I go about getting rid of "by UserName on Today", leaving just the delete function. I've been looking in the downloads_file template but I haven't been able to find it. Am I looking in the wrong template? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

That's a hardcoded piece, you have to look in downloads.php itself, but it's easy to change (look for $dimages) ;)

Any idea on when the new version will be released? I'm waiting on that till I give this a shot. Unless the update will be nice and clean?

It takes a lot more time than I expected. It's not all very difficult PHP code, but it's much new code (and recoding all the old) :D

Upgrade will be pretty painless. One thing: you will lose your download ratings, but I don't think many people really use this feature. This because the current system with a lot of possibilities gets replaced by a -vBulletin like- stars system. You also need to redo some settings, for example the extensions setting gets replaced by a whole new extensions management (like the vBulletin attachments).

But I would suggest you to just use the current version as it works great and the upgrade will be easy to do with a documentated upgrade wizard script.

how can i make it so when i add a new download i can link to a file and link to a image all at the same time

so

New Download > Upload File / Link To File > Upload Image / Link to images.

and is it possible to make the newest added download show as a last post on the forums page where there is a forum linking to it. like LDM does

Those features aren't available at the moment. The first thing will be changed in v6, but the second one is more a thing for an add-on.

Why don't you ask the moderators/admins to move this thread over to "vBulletin 3.6 Add-ons" section ? :)

I'm sure there are many persons like me who don't even look 3.5 mods section when they have 3.6 installed. ;)

Done :)

is it possible to show the file listings as image say 3 per row and when you mouse over the image a box pops up with info also is it possible to make it require image after its added. ?
