[caciocode]

Thanks for the update. I was hesitant to upgrade to the latest version of Vbulletin because I thought this and a few other mods would not work!. The forum (http://www.sheersoftware.com) using this mod. I might add a small donation later as the above.

This may be a dumb question, but the instructions say how to install the mod if it is a new install, and how to upgrade from version 5, but no instructions on how to upgrade from a previous version of version 6. Help?

Just upload the new files in the upload folder overwriting the current files and import the product via the admincp and set allow overwrite to yes

as always, backup your db first

DownloadsII 6.0.6 fixes a profile tab design issue with vBulletin 4.0.8. Next to that, it's now possible to edit comments. There are usergroup permissions to control this. Also two minor bugs are fixed now.

DownloadsII 6.0.6 Changelog

Jelle

Added compatibility for vBulletin 4.0.8 (new profile tab design)
Added functionality to edit comments
Fixed no permission page when users get redirected to non-approved files
Fixed missing sessionid in navigation

I would like to do this as well

[djrichards]

Yesterday I updated this module to 6.0.6 (from 6.0.5) on my website and now uploads will not function correctly.

I'm running vB 4.0.8.

When uploading files of ANY size we now get the following error message.

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/var/tmp/php8LYJxE' to './downloads/89997-Driving_Redefined.pdf' in [path]/downloads.php on line 1588

Any idea what's going on here?

Thanks.

It looks like "Security Token" issue is more vBulletin problem, not DownloadsII. Correct me if I am wrong.
So far I commented out the following code in downloads.php. It disables the time limit feature, but allows to download. if (!verify_security_token($vbulletin->GPC['actionhash'], $vbulletin->userinfo['securitytoken_raw']))
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('security_token_in valid', $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
}

[RS_Jelle]

Thanks for the update! I've been testing this mod for a while and would love to use it and $ contribute but I'm having the same issues a Bobbo. Is there a work around like Bobbo suggests? Please send me a PM for the best way to $ contribute to this Mod.

Thanks! David

I'm investigating the secundary usergroups ;)

No added author column?:(

What I have to edit that template to display the author?

It's a bit difficult to add all data in the limited category view. There's also the file rating for example.

Other people wanting the files' author to be there by default?

This may be a dumb question, but the instructions say how to install the mod if it is a new install, and how to upgrade from version 5, but no instructions on how to upgrade from a previous version of version 6. Help?

The instructions say "First time installation / Normal Upgrade" as both are pretty much the same: upload/overwrite the files on your FTP and import the product XML :)

the old tab is with in the new tab..

That's strange as the fix is working fine on my test site. Did you import the 6.0.6 product file with the overwrite option set to yes?

Any other people with profile tab issues after the upgrade?

the image is uploaded to the server (i can see with ftp) but the image will not be attached as an image for the download..

That means the database query which is inserting the image data didn't ran any more after the upload. Check your PHP and MySQL timeout settings. PHP or MySQL could time out if it's a big file/image.

Yesterday I updated this module to 6.0.6 (from 6.0.5) on my website and now uploads will not function correctly.

I'm running vB 4.0.8.

When uploading files of ANY size we now get the following error message.

Thanks.

That's strange as there aren't any changes to the upload code. Check your downloads folder and its chmod.

{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('security_token_in valid', $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
}

The guest download security token error after logging in is a bit a design issue. Removing that code (only the first instance, not the other ones!!) fixes it indeed, but then you have a CSRF "security" issue, though it's not really that worse. Only if you limit downloads it could possibly be an issue.

[stationar]

I commented out only first instance. The others are in place. I noticed that they prevent moderators from removing files. Maybe some other undiscovered issues. Can you expain how this security token works, and where should I look for the problem?

[djrichards]

That's strange as there aren't any changes to the upload code. Check your downloads folder and its chmod.

That's the first thing I checked although I wouldn't have expected that to change with the update. Still set to 777.

Any other ideas? I'd really hate to have to change DL modules AGAIN. :-)

[stationar]

Fixed missing sessionid in navigationCould this cause the "Invalid security token" issue? In previous versions there was no security token verification. Can I safely comment out all parts of the code that represent this fix? My moderators can't moderate approve or delete files at all.

Hmm, I just checked all changes in 6.0.6 once again and there's really nothing that can cause it compared to 6.0.5.

What about the chown of the folder? I saw some cases in the past where the folders' owner changed because you overwrite it.
Are you running PHP safe mode?

+ If you have a test site on the same server, try it over there.

Fixed missing sessionid in navigation

Could this cause the "Invalid security token" issue? In previous versions there was no security token verification. Can I safely comment out all parts of the code that represent this fix? My moderators can't moderate approve or delete files at all.

No, that has nothing to do with it. The security tokens were added in 6.0.5, not in 6.0.6. In this release there were no changes to them.

Don't comment out any other occurrence of them except for the first one. All others are there for real hard security reasons: without them people could post delete/approve links in IMG-tags on your forum and when a moderator/admin views such malicious threads, they automatically do the action without knowing it (causing the unwanted deletion/approval of a file).

I guess it's a template issue or so. Did you forget to revert some customized templates after the upgrade, so they are missing the security tokens?

If it won't work, you can always send me a pm with your site information and then I will take a look at it.

this possible ? see image

[TeknoSounds]

What you're looking for is within the phrases of downloads II.
AdminCP->Languages and Phrases->Search in phrases, and search for the ones you're looking to change. Do the change and refresh the DL2 page, if it changed the right one, you're on the right path :) Otherwise, trial and error.

[angkor408]

Thanx for he info Techno.. If change the phrase will it effect the SQL database table?

[angkor408]

Techno, I was able to changed the phrase now. Thanks for your help.

[TeknoSounds]

Your changed phrases will still contain the original value if you would like to revert it at any time. Otherwise it'll stay changed unless you import a language file on top of it that would overright your current lang file.

Glad to hear it worked out for you ok :) If any mod is done right most every set of text would be phrased so you can change things how you like without having to hardcode them into templates or other php pages.

[angkor408]

The only thing I noticed the number of total download I changed to " Listen". If you look above it to the left it changed to " listen" also. I thought it was a seperate phrase. Here is the link.

Is this a bug?

Once a user has uploaded a file, they're redirected to the page for that file (downloads.php?do=file&id=xx).

But if the file has to be moderated, the user can't view this page. So they get a "You don't have permissions to view this page" error page. Which is confusing for the users who will assume that the upload hasn't worked.

EDIT: At the risk of seeming a little hack-happy I fixed this by changing line 1645 in download.php from

$vbulletin->url = 'downloads.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=file&id=$id";

to:

$vbulletin->url = 'downloads.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'];

how can i clear database downloads and add another one new ?
i mean i dont know how to update count

To reset the counter, you set downloads field in dl2_main table to 0.
Also clear the dl2_downloads table.
Backup the database before manually tweaking it.

[sadiq6210]

Jelle, this is my DOWNLOADSII statistics
- We have 1,074 files in 133 categories.
- They have been downloaded 158,554 times.

About the replies, it is very difficult to follow the replies for a member uploaded more than 200 files. I suggest to make a notification to the file uploader when someone reply (optional in admincp DOWNLOADSII options). Becuase some users may write a question when the file uploder doesn't know that there is a new reply which is including a question for him.

Also, we can make a block in the side bar for the latest replies.

I just need a feature to follow the replies in DOWNLOADSII.

[TeknoSounds]

As in comments?

If I hadn't mentioned already a "Comment Manager" would be really great to have. I have guest comments on and that leads to lots of spam comments, but it is necessary to have them on. But would be nice to be able to manage comments from the adminCP or somewhere so could mass review/delete comments to DL2.

Hello all,

I have just migrated from one server to another and unfortunately I now get the following error when attempting to access downloads pages:

Your server is running safe mode. You MUST manually create a folder named dl_tmp under your downloads folder. Be sure to change the permissions to 777.

The error is fairly self explanatory, however I have created the folder and its permissions are definately set to 777.

Anybody got any ideas?

Make sure that you creat the folder ( dl_tmp ) inside the downloads folder NOT in forum folder.

From FTP
Enter (Forum) folder >> Enter (downloads) folder >> you should find ( dl_tmp ) folder inside with permission 777

:)

[stationar]

I just made a little change, that made a big difference for my users. Users can prevent anybody from accessing their files simply by adding unwanted visitors to ignore list.
In downloads.php find the line: $dlcustomtitle = htmlspecialchars_uni($file['title']);
Add after it:
//CHECK IGNORE LIST
$ignore = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM `userlist` WHERE relationid = '".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']."' AND userid = '".$file['uploaderid']."' AND type = 'ignore'");
if ($ignore['relationid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
print_no_permission();
}
//END CHECK IGNORE LIST

RS_Jelle, if you will find more elegant solutioin, can you include it in one of your releases?

I have the problem that I've used a lot of HTML formatting in my category descriptions with the version 5.05. Since you have eliminated this feature in the current version , I am not even able to add a carriage return in order to show a textual paragraph.

Do you intend to add the HTML feature again in the future?

Don't know what I am doing wrong, upgraded to the latest version of this but all I keep getting is below whenever I try to upload file, I have the extensions set correct to allow .rar also.

Error! The upload failed (error type 1).

I tried this mentioned here but it makes no difference https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1964662&postcount=309.

You have error type 1, that post you mention is about error type 2.
http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
Value: 1; The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

Pretty much self explaining. You need to up it using a .htaccess or in your php.ini :)

Hi RS_Jelle,

You wrote



I have the problem that I've used a lot of HTML formatting in my category descriptions with the version 5.05. Since you have eliminated this feature in the current version , I am not even able to add a carriage return in order to show a textual paragraph. Can you give me a hint how I could solve the problem?

Do you intend to add the HTML feature again in the future?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards

It's not really a feature, more a deliberate decision. But it's easy to change if you want. Just open downloads.php and find and remove this line of code:
$cat['description'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($cat['description']);

Dont know where the php.ini is nor do I know what to add to it, I know where the .htaccess file is but what do I add to it.

I tried this in the .htaccess after reading vb.org but didnt' work.

php_value memory_limit 30M

Thanks.

I found out why it did not work. There is a second line which must be deleted:

Now it is working :)

I did it using the batch importer, after that, I modified each entry's date and dowload count. Now, I only had around 300 so, took me a couple days.

Did it bring over all the images that L&D had as well as the zips? I don't care about the date or the download count to be honest, I just need a way to get everything from there to something that is being updated on a regular basis.

[RS_Jelle]

I?m getting always the message:

The only thing I can think about is that you've set any of the three limitations to 0. You need to set them to -1.
There are three usergroup permissions with this message: "Set this to -1 for there to be NO limit."

Are those three ok?

And it's not an additional usergroup? It's the primary admin usergroup?
Pretty strange as we have the same setup on our site and we have no problems. The PHP code is also pretty clear.

I can check it out on your site (if you want of course). Then you need to pm me the necessary information.

[Drakah]

Can you please add in the option for custom fields so that I can add in a field for "Version"?

Also, need to please have the Date of the download showing the latest date updated, not dated for when it was originally created.

Well, I?m (Admin) are in two additional user groups:

First has download rights
Second has no download rights


But the main user group Administrator has Download rights as well.

I guess the "No"-Option of the one additional user group can?t override a primary "Yes"?
I thought a secondary user group only can overrides "No" (in primary user group?)?

Hi RS_Jelle,

The time between two downloads is set to approx. 60 seconds so that you cannot download a file earlier. Is it possible to reduce this time and where can I do so? I didn't find the option in the settings.

It's caused because vB thinks for example 5 is always better/higher than -1.

Jelle, this is my DOWNLOADSII statistics
- We have 1,074 files in 133 categories.
- They have been downloaded 158,554 times.

About the replies, it is very difficult to follow the replies for a member uploaded more than 200 files. I suggest to make a notification to the file uploader when someone reply (optional in admincp DOWNLOADSII options). Becuase some users may write a question when the file uploder doesn't know that there is a new reply which is including a question for him.

Also, we can make a block in the side bar for the latest replies.

I just need a feature to follow the replies in DOWNLOADSII.

RS_Jelle,
Could we have something like that in next releases?

I appreciate your effort :)

rs_jelle,
this was brought to my attention today
when compatibility mode is turned on in IE8 in users profile .. the Downloads tab goes under the reset of the tabs but hides under / behind the visiter message box..

[fholbert]

Placed DownloadsII 6.0.6 in my forum. Works great but one strange thing. If you choose to edit the description of a file there isn't a Save button. To save the edit you must click on Edit File (at the bottom) again.

Is there a fix for that?

Is it possible to modify this mod so that members can download .avi files.
I am adding this .avi files on a link.

It adds the file but when I click on the doanload button I just get some letters, looks like an error or something. But the download works in Firefox, but not in IE (I am using 8).
And offcourse I added avi to exstension list...

When I upload it normally it works great, but thats not the option I need.

Hmmm I have an .htaccess file already. However it in a directory up from where the downloads.php is located.

Upgrade to IE8 (IE9 is on the way). IE7 was released in 2006 :)

How do you make it so that the most recently commented file is on top, like forumdisplay updates the the thread order from top to bottom from the most recent comment to the most old...?

That's currently not a sort option as the last comment date isn't saved in the file table (the last download date is). Good suggestion though.

Linked files are beyond the control of DownloadsII. When you link a file, DownloadsII just redirects you to the link. It can't control the headers sent by the server then.

Hi RS_Jelle! Is this working yet with secondary usergroups? We have a special integration using WHMCS which based on subscription manages our members usergroups. All members are in the registered usergroup and then based on subscription or product purchase, we've integrated this in such a way that it adds a secondary usergroup to each member based on their purchase. So a member can have several secondary usergroups and we've set this up based on the vBulletin system override of usergroup permissions making the most permissions override the primary usergroup permissions. Anyway it's sorta complicated.

Basically I'm checking to see if the Downloads II product can be used based on vbulletin default usergroup permissions and overrides just like forum access. We tried previously but it didn't work, everyone was getting invalid file because it was using the 'Registered' members user permissions rather than the secondary group which would essentially override.

If this doesn't work yet, can you lead me in a direction so that I can get this to work and I'm happy to provide the edited code as a contribution as I see others have asked about this too.

Thanks for this great component! Look forward to your reply.

Does the download limit still still work with linked files? or only those uploaded through the system?

I've uploaded through ftp some large zip files with l4d2 campaigns (400mb for example) but would still like to limit their download for registered users.

Nvm, it does not hmm. :( I was unable to up my php file size through .htaccess I guess my next step is my webhost and php.ini

Is there anyway to trick the system to think I uploaded a file, so that the user limits will come into play. Like for instance upload a small file with file name abc.zip that is 4mb.

Then ftp into the downloads directory and replace it with a 400mb file with the same name? Will this work?

This work around seems to be working to get the system to think I uploaded through it, sadly the file size will still be listed of that of the first fake file.

But I guess that's the price to pay if I want the user limitations.

On a side note what do the numbers added to the beginning of the uploaded file names correspond to?

[Hippy]

Crotan.. if your going as far as uploading fake files .. and then uploading a 400meg file .. you might as well go into phpmyadmin and under dl2_downloads change the file size ...

get your host to change the upload limit on the php.ini and you will be able to upload what you want ..

Just fill in the file field on the "add file" page? There's normally no difference between upload and link file sizes for the limitation settings.

[Crotan]

Just fill in the file field on the "add file" page? There's normally no difference between upload and link file sizes for the limitation settings.

writing in the file size in bytes only seems to work for linked files. It won't take if it's a file I uploaded. For the second part of your statement, does that mean the user limitations I impose for groups will work for both linked files and ones I uploaded through the downloads?

I'm going to have to create a test registered user to see how it's all working right now, just haven't gotten around to it

Is there any downside to having you max php upload such a large limit. i.e. 400MB? Seems the standard is pretty small, right now mine is sitting at 64MB, which by itself it larger than I see most peoples.

Due to the legacy permissions on this mod, we've started using Links and Downloads Manager (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231407&highlight=links+downloads) which is quite robust and allows for what you are looking for... It's almost too robust but there's an extensive wiki (http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php/Links_and_Downloads_Manager) on it too so I'd read up and maybe that would be a more suitable solution for you purposes.

Not sure if we're going to come back to this product once the user permissions are working correctly based on usergroups and/or forum permissions but we may. I do like the simplicity of this one RS_Jelle has developed. Look forward to future updates and appreciate the work RS_Jelle has put into this product. It's close.

You should be able to do that with usergroup permissions. You would have to create a group that you placed members in that purchased your product. Then give access to the download section to only that group.

That being said, there might be better options for you out there. I'm not sure what they use over at Wolfshed Solutions (http://www.wolfshead-solutions.com/forum.php), but I just bought one of their software packages for my forums and their system would most likely work perfectly for you. Might contact them about what they use, Mosh seems like a very nice guy.

DownloadsII 6.0.7 fixes some wrong applied image and file deletion permissions. Be sure you revert the updated templates if you modified them. Additionally, the minimum required vBulletin version was upped to vBulletin 4.0.4. Finally, the file integrity of DownloadsII can now be checked with vB's "Suspect File Versions" diagnostic tool.

[abdulbasitsaeed]

Thank you for the update, Rs_Jelle. :)

Is there any way to allow multiple uploaders for a single file?

[Hippy]

RK KINGKONG.. set file size max width and hight ;) I'm sure it will workie :D

[RK KINGKONG]

wow this is crazy well i have ti all running and well now images,files categories ETC.... now i followed the links here for the file max upload .. :

memory_limit = 128M
post_max_size = 300M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 500M
max_execution_time = 3600
max_input_time = 1700

and GODADDY.com tells me that should change it , but still when i try to upload a file thats 191 MB in size its telling me :
The uploaded file is too big. The file size may be maximum 86.29 MB.

I NOTICE RS_JELLE HAS FILES AS BIG 370MB , I almost passed out , being though it wont let me do bigger than 86 MB

I also seen somewhere that you have to restart your server or something for the difference to take place but GODADDY says though im on an unlimited plan , im also on a shared plan so they cant just restart the server .. what can i do please ?

also rs_jelle method to create a .htaccess file with the following and adjust the numbers :
You need to create a file named .htaccess (note the period in front of the name). Put the following two lines into the file:
Code:
php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
php_value post_max_size 30M

that doesnt work for me cause once i drop that .htaccess into the root of my ftp , then it gives me a fatal error like the site wont load unless i take that out of there ................

have you limited the filesize upload in the usergroup settings?

[i.s.s.w]

nice i am upgrade to 6.0.7

you can support for vbAdvanced Add-On

[Louva-Deus]

Liking the mod so far. Found a bug that has existed at least since 6.0.5 that causes an Internal Service Error 500 for non-linked files.

To fix it make the following changes in downloads.php:

Line 688:
$ctype = "application/force-download";

Line 764:
header("Content-Type: $ctype; name=\"".basename($dlfilename)."\";");

Cheers! :D

[abdulbasitsaeed]

Also, how can I change the length of the name of the uploaded file. Currently, it seems to be something like 50 characters. :)

[RK KINGKONG]

yes the permissions are set for me the owner , then under attachment permissions i have it set to 370 mb in bytes numbers cause thats how you have to type it in , and when i check my viewPHPinfo under site Maintenance it shows me ine the PHP CORE BLOCK that all the changes i made took ... so i dont know but im sure someone will help me figure this out , cause since im the biggest noob here im positive im missing something or did something wrong or maybe just my host sucks that bad have you limited the filesize upload in the usergroup settings?

try increasing the limit you set for the owner group, sometimes I found I had to bump up the file size even though the file I was uploading *should* have been under the limit, but kept saying it wasn't.

[hmccaig]

lots of threads to go through, but perhaps I missed it, is there a way to set permissions on which groups can "download" or see it or see the download categories? Thanks in advance. great plugin!

[Hippy]

RK KINGKONG file size is set in the php.ini
you will have to ask your host to increase the max upload
and post so you will be able to upload those size files....
default is 2 and 8 megs...

found this on a google search to help explain it a little for you

Most of the web servers are configured such a way that a user can only upload the maximum file size of 2MB. So there might be the problem for the people who wants to upload the .zip files of size around 150MB.
increse the maximum upload file size limit by using .htaccess file.


upload such a large file using file field of the form and move_uploaded_file() function in PHP.

1) Create a .htaccess file in the root folder of web server.

2) Put the following code in side the .htaccess file and save it.

php_value upload_max_filesize 200M
php_value post_max_size 200M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200
Now you can upload the file-size up-to 200MB in a simple way using file field in your html form and move_uploaded_file() function available in PHP. In the above .htaccess file, uploading capability is increased by the four parameter first one is maximum file size for uploading, second one is maximum size of the post data , third one is maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser and last one is maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to parse input data such as like file uploads, POST and GET data.

You can change the above parameter to upload the bigger file size than 200MB.

[TeknoSounds]

If you look in his post, hes already changed it to appropriate sizes and his phpinfo page is reflecting that.

[Hippy]

TeknoSounds
This was only for the htaccess issue he mentioned..
about not being able to access his site after adding .htaccess
htaccess does not work.. with out the dot.

maybe he made the file wrong or missed something simple..
Just trying to help as you are..

[TeknoSounds]

oh no hippy don't mistake me, I'm not trying to come down on you or anything :) just pointed out he had changed it...its saying he did in his phpinfo file and godaddy is telling him the same. The only reason you need to modify the htaccess file is whenever you can't change your php.ini file.

RK KingKong: I'm curious in seeing 1) your phpinfo page to verify these changes are made and 2) WHERE is the error appearing saying you can't upload the file because its too big. Is it showing you in DownloadsII or are you getting a timeout page or something in your browser?

[RK KINGKONG]

I seriously appreciate the help ppl have been trying to give me but , creating a .htaccess file isnt helping no matter where i put it , i have tried in the main root , and also within the downloads folder .. neither works..
I only have a php5.ini in my root , i have set the settings to show increased sizes within the php info n php5.ini .
which shows this:
memory_limit = 128M
post_max_size = 501M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 500M
max_execution_time = 3600

register_globals = off
allow_url_fopen = off

[mail function]
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
sendmail_from = automated@righteouskings.com

expose_php = Off
max_input_time = 3600
variables_order = "EGPCS"
extension_dir = ./
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
precision = 12

I have also tried creating my own php.ini file without the 5 and putting it into my root .. ive been on the phone with GODADDY numerous time all they can say is , if its changing in your php info it should make the change the restarting of the server isnt possible cause im on a shared plan but also not needed .....
Im at a stand still with this unless i wind up getting some expert to help me with it .. I know someone out there can pin point whats happening , im sure im not the only one who has had this problem..
this is where i lack the experience . i just started working with this whole website and VB thing overnight ...

further more i have a download on my site right now that was allowed
437 Styles for Photoshop : (153.82 MB)
but when i try one that 191.mb is tells me my max is only 86.mb im loosing sleep over this i swear

[RK KINGKONG]

Ill show you here
is the phpinfo
http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad86/RKKINGKONG/MOVINGPICTURES/PHPINFO2.jpg
here is my FTP and GODADDY PHP5.INI side by side :
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/43.jpg
so it shows the changes have been made ..
the error comes from within the downloads mod page on my site , so for example i go to add a file , then i choose the file add it .. it starts what seems to be the upload with the percentage showing in the bottom left hand corner .. once it reaches 100% it refreshes and tells me that the file is to big and that my limit is only like 86.MB

[TeknoSounds]

okay awesome. you can take those down if you want :)

The issue is def within the usergroup settings, try increasing the max upload size limit there. There's an issue I've noticed where the filesize you put in ends up limiting you lower.

This setting here: This is the maximum MB that a user can upload. Set this to -1 for there to be NO limit.

I would try setting that to -1 for testing purposes. Then try increasing the limit until it gives you the actual number you desire.

Btw, RS_Jelle....bug in the usergroup filesize limit settings. :-/

[RK KINGKONG]

the correct setting was already in there :
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/42.jpg
so still i dont know what to do

Oh silly me.

What about in your Extensions settings? Whats the max file size there? That's the one you'll prolly have to play with, not the usergroup settings. My apologies, I got them confused.

[RK KINGKONG]

I just upped the anty to 524288000 = 500mb just cause to see if that works on the following extensions zip,rar i freaking pray that works cause im starting to loose it ....Oh silly me.

your welcome pal

I told you to check the max file size in the vb admincp on monday when I was helping you fix the downloadII file uploading issue with the images...

I figure you did that. so I didn't mention it again but after seeing your php info I figure something was no panning out..
same thing what TeknoSounds said..
Oh silly me.

[RK KINGKONG]

OK I ONLY HAVE 1 MORE QUESTION , is it a seperate mod to have the image for the download open up in a small preview within the page , so that it doesnt bring you to a whole new tab or window ?
cause i dont seen option for the images to open right there , in the downloads ii settings ...
i dont want the image to open in a whole other window

[Hippy]

in the admin setting .. under the image files.."Open in a new browser window?" yes or no..
youll see this option.. yours are set to yes

I dont think it will be a small preview..

[RK KINGKONG]

I just set all the image files within the settings for downloadsII to not open in a new browser but they still do .. im gonna take a lucky guess that for the images you upload to the the downloads , not the category images for the downloads / description ...why im I the only one to have issues most of the times with the smallest simple stuff , dammit lol in the admin setting .. under the image files.."Open in a new browser window?" yes or no..
youll see this option.. yours are set to yes

I dont think it will be a small preview..

[Hippy]

anyone run into this ..

I have not added a new category since version6.0.6
after the latest update I added a new category ..

the Comments column is gone and the rest seems to be running off to the right

figured it out
It was the contents of the discription...that was causing it
thanks

[Webbstre]

Out of curiosity, did any kind of RSS or XML feed every get implemented into this? I was looking at my database and can't seem to find one, and searching this thread revealed nothing.

[sadiq6210]

Before I start the upgrade
Is it work perfect with 4.1.1 ? :)

[TheInsaneManiac]

I cant upload images for files. It just refreshes after uploading and the files dont show.

[sadiq6210]

About the DWNLOADS profile tab in member profile, I want to make it appear all time even the user didn't upload any file.

Which (if condition) should I remove ?

[rs2100k]

@TheInsaneManiac

To upload images as FILES you must set the extension to be File and Image in the AdminCP -> DownloadsII -> Extensions - If it is set to Image only it will only let you attach them to the file as an attachment.

If you are just trying to attach an Image to the file and it isn't working this could be that you do not have the required extension set up in the same place, but that's where to look.

Hope this helps

Im not talking about uploading an image. Im saying I uploaded a EXE and wanted to add a screenshot, but it doesn't upload the image to the download. I have png extension enabled, but it wont show the png image.

[rs2100k]

[Hippy]

these image setting work for me ..

give it a try TheInsaneManiac

[NNJJ]

is thier away to upload the files i need via FTP to this mod?

[TeknoSounds]

you can upload via FTP, then use the importer script to import all the files from a directory...but normal users wouldn't have access to this.

[NNJJ]

thats cool where i should ebtter upload? under Downloads folder or any where i like?
can you clear the steps more appriciated

thanks :)

[TeknoSounds]

you'll need to upload to a separate folder, when the import script is run it'll ask you for the location of the files, then it'll import them into the downloads folder you specified in the Downloads II options.
Depending on the size of the files you may want to do them in batches. Like I have DJ mixes for download...most of them about 80-100+MB, so I had to do them in batches of about 15 to prevent anything from stalling out.
Hope that helps.

from the downloads2_postbit templave

[Drakah]

I still need a plugin or method where I can add in a custom "version" field(s), as well as removing the "author" field to default to myself, since my download section is not used for other users to upload.

[LVGgebruiker]

Thank you for this very nice mod! Have installed on 4.1.1.

I did see your site is in Dutch, do you also have an translation file for that? I hope you can help with that.

Thanks RS_Jelle, works well in VB 4.1.0 PL2. Installed, 5 Stars.

Also Works Vb 4.1.1

Liking the mod so far. Found a bug that has existed at least since 6.0.5 that causes an Internal Service Error 500 for non-linked files.

Cheers! :D

Many Thanks for this fix Louva-Deus, i was getting error 500 with uploaded files, but with this fix i get all ok.

The mod works ok for me, thanks another time RS_Jelle.

Sorry for my English. Greetings.

Thanks for this Beauty full Mod... Installed would play around with this tonight :)

[Welshy2008]

Hello RS,

I have set the "extensions" for my downloads, but when I or members try to upload a file with an allowed extension, we get the:

"The following errors occurred when this file was submitted:
You may only upload or link to the following extensions: ..doc .docx .rft ..txt ..wpd ..wps ..pdf ..wks ..xls ..xlsx"

As you can see, the .pdf extension is on there, to be allowed.

Also, The "Add New File" tab only shows when a user clicks on a sub category and then it is towards the bottom.

On vB3 version it was on the downloads.php page, granted, it was a text link.

I am also lissing the admin links too, IE: Edit, Approve, delete, etc.

Your help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

[RS_Jelle]

"The following errors occurred when this file was submitted:

You need to add pdf as an extension, not .pdf :)
Look at the double dots in the list you post. DownloadsII adds the dot itself, so now it's doubled. Only rft seems to be ok in your list.

Check your (primary) usergroup permissions and be sure you reverted all template modifications after updating DownloadsII.

[Igel1]

Hello Jelle RS

the MOD is still expanding?
Important I would find that you can upload multiple files to a download.
At 08/07/2010 Bunni U had ever been offered a multiple Uploader contribute. Unfortunately, it was probably not responding. My question to him whether he is with the addon available unfortunately, he has never answered.
I know that you all are doing in your spare time only and that too free of charge, for that I thank you again here explicitly.
My question would be whether you plan to install such a feature, and if so, approximately when. About an answer I would appreciate it.

Igel1

sorry for my english

[sadiq6210]

Jelle, I have 2 bugs

Have a look
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/02/36.png

The rating bug is just with RTL lang.

The username in red rectangle should be like the username inside the green rectangle

[iyama]

Also for me a option to upload more files to 1 download.

And if a upload fails i cant change it to a other new upload.
I have to copy/paste txt to a new window.

[Ophelia]

I apologize for this. What happens if we have 4.0.3? We are currently have Links and Downloads Manager that was created by Andrew, who passed away. We don't want to upgrade vBulletin because there are some reports that the L&D stops working, and we need it working in order to move stuff from it to you. If we install the DownloadsII on 4.0.3. will it work enough for us to start importing over, with the expectation of upgrading to the most current version of vB as soon as the importing is done?

[fusionpot]

im currently having the issue were i cannot upload large files, and Ive gone throw all 81 pages, Ive seen like 5+ different fixes is there anyone who can sum up all the fixes so i can do it on my end or contact my host company for the changes?

[Ophelia]

Did you see...

Help!!! I can't upload large files??

This is probably the most asked question. It's mostly caused by some default PHP settings: check "PHP Max Post Size" and "PHP Maximum Upload Size" at your AdminCP home.

Then have a look at this post for the solution to up these values.
Also have a look at this post at vB.com (but ignore the MySQL part as DownloadsII is only using the file system).

I was running it on 4.0.3 for awhile :) It will def. work fine for you till you can convert. Then upgrading to the latest version of VB shouldn't be a problem.

What Ophelia said.
This is most likely due to low settings in your php.ini file. Either you need to access it and change the values directly, have your host change them for you, or you can try to do a work around with a htaccess file. But you're looking for upload sizes and max execution times and set them to something ridiculous :p

I apologize for this. What happens if we have 4.0.3? We are currently have Links and Downloads Manager that was created by Andrew, who passed away. We don't want to upgrade vBulletin because there are some reports that the L&D stops working, and we need it working in order to move stuff from it to you. If we install the DownloadsII on 4.0.3. will it work enough for us to start importing over, with the expectation of upgrading to the most current version of vB as soon as the importing is done?

I have a -400 downloads site and migrated it from LDM into DII. It works in a different way, but basically it does what you need.

Take your time to migrate and plan beforehand.

Was there code to migrate or did you do it all by hand? We have over 1,000 files right now.

[TeknoSounds]

unfortunately theres no L&D importer script, but DLII does have a mass import script. I'm using mine for mp3s, so they're fairly large files, if this is the case I would only do about 10 or 15 at a time. If smaller files should be able to import a larger amount.

Did you see...

Help!!! I can't upload large files??

This is probably the most asked question. It's mostly caused by some default PHP settings: check "PHP Max Post Size" and "PHP Maximum Upload Size" at your AdminCP home.

Then have a look at this post for the solution to up these values.
Also have a look at this post at vB.com (but ignore the MySQL part as DownloadsII is only using the file system).

yes i did see that area but i cant find were the php seetings to change them.

[TeknoSounds]

they're in your php.ini
You most likely not have access to the file if you're on a shared host, you can attempt to work around it by doing the settings in the .htaccess file
If you're on a dedicated host or virtual private server you should have access to the php.ini and make the changes directly.
Do some searching on the WWW and on this thread to see how to make the changes...google is your friend :)

Simpel: Ask your host to changed the php upload settings to 30.

Simpel: Ask your host to changed the php upload settings to 30.

here are my current settings for those 2.

post_max_size
Local Value:8M
Master Value:8M

upload_max_filesize
Local Value:10M
Master Value:10M

do i just need to change the upload_max_filesize to 30? and what does that give me 30mb?

[TeknoSounds]

yes, thats in MB, so change it to what you need. Personally mine are 200...

[fusionpot]

my hosting company controls it and they said they will not change it lol FAIL

[TeknoSounds]

you can attempt a work-around with your htaccess file...depending if they have that feature turned on for you.

First: Thank you for this mod! :up:

Now a question! Is it possible to not allow the upload of files to Parent Categories?
So that a Parent Category is only a category but no repository?

[TeknoSounds]

Yes (err maybe not)

edit...
hmm I say that, and now I'm not finding the settings I was thinking were there. Going to have to delve a bit more into this.

[tdkmatt]

when i try and upload anything it says this

The following errors occurred when this file was submitted:

* You may only upload or link to the following extensions:

You need to add other extensions,

ACP >> Downloads II >> Extensions >> then add the file type that you want to allow for e.g rar zip doc etc....

[Hippy]

[RS_Jelle]

anyone tested on 4.1.2?

It works fine with it :)

[Crotan]

In the Downloads section of your site, I notice Sub Categories aren't list with the text Sub-Categories:

How can we remove this?

Also how can we add icons to the title of "Latest Files" on the right sidebar of the download section like you have?

Thanks

[Schoelle]

@RS Jelle

Could you please check if this is possible? Thank you!

[bajrice]

hi there,...

1. Thank you RS Jelle for this mod
2. It works fine for me on 4.1.2 :)

but i have some questions, i hope im here right

1. is it possible to change the mod a little bit ?!
2. file upload and image (multiply images) should be together (one button for both to upload)
3. is it possible to add custom permissions at the categorys & sub-categorys (for file upload) for user groups ?! (every category & sub-category should have own permissions for file upload)
4. is it possible to add custom thumbs (little images) for every created category ?!
5. is it possible to change the upload/download folder (./downloads) to another root server ?!

Thanks

[Laurent42]

Hi there!

Before installing it, I have a few questions! :)

- Is it possible to upload/download files outside the tree of the Web site?
(For example in /var/data and not in /var/www/forum)?

- Is it possible to restrict files downloads to a group / user?

- Is it possible to use the vb builtin attachment feature for the users and DownloadsII only for the administrators?

Thanks! :)

[sweetguy2004]

[Max Paint]

Can this mod show on uploadpage the allowed extensions and filesize? Didn't found anything ... Showing allowed extensions and filsizes before a user starts the uploads, would make things easier ;)

you're not going to the right location where the file is, or the file is not uploaded.
the downloads.php should be in your forum root. so www.mysite.com/forum/downloads.php
or www.mysite.com/messageboard/downloads.php etc etc.
Check your file uploads to ensure everything uploaded correctly.
