DownloadsII

[Bluetiereign]

try this
go to the downloads, click Manage Files and then click the Update Counters button.


I manually added my files and used this to get my filesizes to update the last time using this. However, I cannot get to this page - as this link is not being provided anywhere - even though I have it checked off in DownloadsII's settings.

Can you provide a direct link to the 'Manage Files' please ?

Nevermind about the link... (downloads.php?do=manfiles&act=updatecounters). However, this is not updating the file sizes. Thanks for any help.

Download fails due to missing security token when Downloads are restricted to members. If a guest tries to download he gets the Login form. After succesfull login he is redirected back to Download, but this fails due to missing security token.

My workaround is to redirect the logged in member to the download page for this file where he can start a new download of the file:

find in downloads.php around line 485:

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

replace with:


if ($permissions['downloads2permissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['downloads2permissions']['candownloadfiles'])
{
exec_header_redirect("downloads.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=file&id=" . $file[id]);
}
else
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('security_token_in valid', $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
}


@Jelle: Pleas add this to your repository, thanks :)

Thank you thank you very much.

This solved the issue :)

But a question:
The first line that I search for replace (around line 485) I view that appears in more lines, only need replace the line around 485?

Regards!

I haven't had this problem before. I don't know if it's related to v4.1.10.

Warning: require_once([path]/includes/functions_wysiwyg.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/downloads.php on line 1370

FIXED: Evidently the file was removed from 4.1.4. I uploaded a copy from 4.1.3.
I can't believe I'm the only one who experienced this unless there is a fix I haven't read.

Support for the new editor is integrated since 6.0.8, but there's no code like that on line 1370. Do you run any code modifications?
It should be wrapped in a version_compare() conditional to check your vBulletin version, so it can use the old or new editor code accordingly.

I tried it in the first line only like was posted and the downloads wouldn't even load .. some error I fogot what it was so I am not sure RS_Jelle would know better

my question now would be why is it when you turn on Download Agree this error happens when it's off it don't

[Scyther]

one question.
i tried uninstalling this mod from my forum. Products and plugins are removed.
But i still have the option of 'Downloads' on left panel in Admin CP..!!!
How to remove it?

and the reason why i uninstalled it was because it started causing issues with usergroups!

re upload all the new files and make sure they are overwriting .. re import the xml and allow over write as well do not uninsall..

see if it helps..

[Bluetiereign]

Thanks Hippy for the reply. But updating the counters did not resolve my issue.

Does anyone know how to get the file size(s) to be recognized and updated without manually entering them ? I did not put in the file sizes when I first started using this mod and transferred one part of my downloads. It updated them itself (a few releases ago). I'm moving the rest of my downloads over and now it won't do it.

As far as I can tell there is no built-in way to have it re-calculate missing file sizes. I think the "import" script might calculate them during import, but I've not used that feature myself, so can't speak to that.

[PALAZAN]

I used to use this mod years ago and i have to say its one of the best mods i have used.

Anyways i have a qestion , is it possable to limit some catagorys to diffrent usergroups?

[Bluetiereign]

Does anyone tell me where the total number of downloads is stored. While I only have a few more than a 1000 downloads, it keeps bumping that download number (unique ID) to over 5000 when a new one is added. What value do I need to to change to get this number to reflect the actual downloads in the database ?

I've done a search of the database, but the current number or the next is not showing up.

[squidsk]

The download id is automatically incremented everytime you add something into the download table. So assuming no download has ever been deleted the number will match the total number of downloads. As soon as any download gets deleted the id will no longer match the number of entries in the table. Why do you care if the download id corresponds to the number of downloads? There is no value in having them be equal.

[Bluetiereign]

there is no 'value' as far as necessary to run it. however, I am manually importing some files, and scripting the import of some. it would make my life easier to start from the actual numbers I have to keep everything straight - including the pictures.

What number is being auto incremented please ? I would like to change that number.

Update: Never mind. I downloaded the data from the database, uninstalled and re installed the MOD and back in business with a normal count. Thanks anyway.

Hello,

after Update to 4.1.10 all my Downloads is missing in Download 2.

What can i do ?

[spillage]

A couple of pre download/install questions;
Do we have confirmed 4.1.10 compatibility?
Does someone have an English install I can look at?
Does the Comments editor have the Go Advanced option?

[linuxbaby]

Hello

I hope this is the right forum to ask my question. When not, please dont worry.

At first i say thank you very much for this very good addon.
We take in our Forum the Vers. DownloadsII 6.0.7 with vBulletin 4.1.10.

My question:

is it possible to put a field with the word "version" behind the word "Autor" and "Downloads" (look the picture) or is it possible to rename a static field name to "version"?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/42.jpg

or is it possible to put a column "Version" behind "Kategorie" and "Beschreibung"?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/43.jpg

Thanks for help.

regards,
linuxbaby

[squidsk]

Its all possible but would require customizing the mod, as currently there's no "version" field in the database, so before a version was entered in the display it would first need a field in the database.

[spillage]

I agree with linuxbaby, an Version input field would be great.
Even if it was appended the filename in square brackets filename [V?.?]

Now, back to my questions from post #1776 above.
linuxbaby has indicated that it works with 4.1.10.
Outstanding questions;
1. Does the Comments editor have the Go Advanced option?
2. Does someone have an English site/install I can look at?

Thanks,

thanks for the quick reply.

you know a way to insert my "dreamword version" at first in a database field?

It is important for our forum.
Please help.

Best regards,
linuxbaby

[squidsk]

Its not as easy as just adding a field to the database, which is simple, the query would be something like:
alter table dl2_files add column version int not null default 1
But once that's done all the code needs to be changed to add a version field to the page so that one can be entered and then you need to modify the code so that the version is written to the database. After that you need to modify the pages to read the version information and display it to the screen.

It might sound simple but there's a fair bit of work involved.

[linuxbaby]

Thank you for the reply :up:

i have to test it but my school is not good enough to know what you mean.

alter table dl2_files add column version int not null default 1

Maybe it is in the next version of downloadsII a field with the name "version"?

Two bugs to report.

First bug comes with a feature request. The bug is the security token bug, but different from what others have described. Here's how to reproduce the bug. First guests have download permissions. Second have your site open in two different windows/tabs, one of which points to a download the other to any page what so ever. Either be logged in on both or logged out on both, it doesn't matter. If on the non-download page you log out, or log in, and then try to download the file from the download page without refreshing you'll get a security token error. The request that goes along with this, is to remove the security token from the url of the download button and have downloads.php grab it from the $vbulletin after the download button is clicked, as that should stop all security token issues. It would also prevent security token errors when a user posts a link directly to the download button and others try to follow it, which of course won't work as the security tokens would be different.

EDIT: This bug can be reproduced as well by logging in with a second account, the guest account does not necessarily required download permissions.

Second bug. If a file does not exist in the download directory, but a entry points to it, you do not get a vbulletin error message, but just a plain php message. The block of code in question is at line 754 in version 6.0.9. Wrapping that code in an if(file_exists($dlfilename)) would probably solve the problem.

EDIT 2: Both bugs are present in both 5.1.2 and 6.0.9.

frome Post 1775.

Best regards Otttto

[squidsk]

thansk for the post:up:

I was actually slightly mistaken about the second bug. It isn't a php error I'm getting but rather the intentional error of the plugin. Its just creating a simple blank page instead of using a vbulletin error page. It would be nice if this was fixed so that if the file doesn't exist it displays a standard vbulletin error message. The line that would need to be fixed is link 672, and there's another instance of that type of page at 667 if the filename is the empty string.

As for the first bug, I realized after giving it some thought that it isn't actually a bug, but rather how things are supposed to work to deal with the CSRF issue mentioned here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2026994&postcount=644).

Which leads me to a slightly modified request for improvement, in two parts. First improvement, can the act & and actionhash be converted from get to post type parameters for the page, this would at least eliminate the second problem of people linking to the download button's link. The second improvement would be to not include the download function in those requiring the session token, the reason being that if someone forced a download it would not have any adverse affect on the downloads table, the most it does is increment the number of downloads a user has and the number of times a particular file has been downloaded, especially if you have your extensions setup correctly. The upload and delete functions should of course absolutely require the action hash.

A third improvement request, could the report function be linked into the standard vbulletin reports so that threads are created in whatever forum was setup to post other reports to?

I am running LDM on my site. In the past I have not considered DII as LDM was more advanced. I wonder how DII has evolved over the years. Is it comparable to LDM now or even better?

Is there a changelog somewhere?

Is there an import script from LDM to DownloadsII?

What integration features does DII have?

[Hippy]

@squidsk I will second those requests

thanks for the reply ...

[squidsk]

Just for people to know how I've fixed the non-existent file page. It took 2 steps.

1) Create a new phrase as per the image:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=136392&stc=1&d=1328830886

2) Changed the code on line 672 as follows:

from

echo "<html><head><title>DownloadsII Error</title></head><body>ERROR: File not found.</body></html>";

to


eval(standard_error(fetch_error('dl2_file_not_foun d', 'downloads.php?do=report&amp;fileid=' . $file['id'])));


A similar phrase and code replacement will also work for when the filename is the empty string.

[Hippy]

what version are you running of vb I only have front-end redirect message or error messages
thanks for the info / update/ fix
and the varname should be something to this affect

I'm running 4.1.10. If you don't have Front-End Error Messages then put the message in the same group as the security_token_invalid phrase, since I'm using the same message displaying mechanism that that error uses.

[Hippy]

hum weird same version with out that front-end error messags ..
will give it a go thanks for the info

[squidsk]

If it helps the entries aren't in alphabetical order, some things are all over the place in the drop down list when adding a new phrase, see the picture where I've circled the phrase group I used, notice how its out of order.

yes, its very easy. first you must have the .jpg added as an extension and enable images in the cp/downloadsII/settings/enable images

then after you are done uploading your .eps files scroll down and you should see IMAGES with a browse box

again i dont think this is a supported mod

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'phrasegroup_downloads2' in 'field list'

[gargamello]

Hi and sincere apologies if this has been answered previously. I searched, but couldn't find it...

Is anyone able to tell me where/how I can increase the length of the filename field (ie number of characters in the filename field)?

Within the downloads2_file_addit template, I have changed the 'maxlength to 100 as below:

<div class="blockrow">
<label for="title">{vb:rawphrase dl2_file_name}:</label>
<div><input type="text" class="primary textbox" name="title" id="title" value="{vb:raw newfile.title}" maxlength="100" tabindex="1" /></div>


But this doesn't seem to have made any difference...help please?

Really appreciated!

Ian

Guys, Im getting a phrase error. I uninstalled because I simply dont use it and it left some language phrases in the database. I tried to remove it with phpmyadmin but ended up screwing up the entire language phrase table. (thank god for the tool.php). Anyway here's the error, can one of you explain how to remove it correctly.

Thanks...

Sounds like an installation error in that the phrase group wasn't installed correctly. Try re-installing.

Downloads can be limited by usergroup, so have a group that you control access to with permissions to download. Also don't store the downloads in your web directory so that people can't link directly to the download if they guess the name.

No, why would you want to waste your bandwidth for that when there are plenty of free image hosting sites on the web.

Regards,

The category id is already in the url, why do you need the name as well? This would require a fairly hefty code rewrite to achieve and would remove the ability to have categories with the same name. For example if you have two categories each with a subcategory of the same name you would no longer be able to do it.

[hasidoo]

Download fails due to missing security token when Downloads are restricted to members. If a guest tries to download he gets the Login form. After succesfull login he is redirected back to Download, but this fails due to missing security token.

My workaround is to redirect the logged in member to the download page for this file where he can start a new download of the file:

find in downloads.php around line 485:

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

replace with:


if ($permissions['downloads2permissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['downloads2permissions']['candownloadfiles'])
{
exec_header_redirect("downloads.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=file&amp;id=" . $file[id]);
}
else
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('security_token_in valid', $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
}


@Jelle: Pleas add this to your repository, thanks :)

DownloadsII 6 is released under normal copyright. You may not redistribute the package in whole
or significant part. All copyright notices must remain unchanged and visible.


/*================================================= =====================*\
|| 2. Requirements ||
\*================================================ ======================*/

DownloadsII 6.0.7 (and up) requires at least vBulletin 4.0.4. If you still run vB3, get DownloadsII v5.


/*================================================= =====================*\
|| 3. First time installation / Normal Upgrade ||
\*================================================ ======================*/

1. Upload all files from the upload folder to your forums directory.

2. Import the product-downloads2.xml file at AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products ->
Add/Import Product

3. Change the permissions of the downloads directory (inside your forums directory) to make
it writable (chmod 777).

4. That's it! Now you only need to set your DownloadsII settings, usergroup permissions, categories, ...
And don't forget to add the necessary extensions for file uploads.


/*================================================= =====================*\
|| 4. Upgrade from DownloadsII 5 ||
\*================================================ ======================*/

!!! You need to upgrade your forum to vBulletin 4 before upgrading DownloadsII.

Note: if you used the "Create New Thread" add-on with v5, don't uninstall it! You will loose the
thread data and the uninstall won't fully work. It will throw database errors.

You need to run DownloadsII 5.0.4 or higher to do this upgrade. Of course we recommend running
version 5.1.1 when doing the upgrade. As already said, you also need to run vB 4 already.
No data (categories, files, ...) will be lost except your ratings as there's a new voting system.

1. Turn your vBulletin forum off to the public to avoid any database errors.

2. Upload upgradetov6.php to the /forums/admincp/ folder on your FTP.

3. Open it with your browser (you need AdminCP access) by surfing to
http://www.yoursite.com/forums/admincp/upgradetov6.php
Follow the online steps. When it's done, go to the next step of these instructions.

4. Remove the upgradetov6.php file from your FTP and do the same with these old 5.x.x files:
- /forums/admincp/downloadadmin.php
- /forums/includes/class_downloads.php
- /forums/includes/xml/bitfield_ecdownloads.xml
- /forums/includes/xml/cpnav_ecdownloads.xml
- /forums/includes/xml/hooks_downloadsII.xml

5. Upload the new files from the upload folder of this package to your forums FTP. Some files will
need to be overwritten.

6. Import the product-downloads2.xml file at AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products ->
Add/Import Product

7. Now redo your usergroup permissions and DownloadsII settings as those things weren't copied over.
And don't forget to add the necessary extensions.

8. Visit your downloads section -> Manage Files -> Update Counters to rebuild the DownloadsII cache.
(http://www.yoursite.com/forums/downloads.php?do=manfiles&act=updatecounters)

The filenames and the internal names are related, the internal name will likely just be a number prepended to the name you get when downloading. That being said to see who uploaded them just look at the entry for the file, either on your forum or through an sql query, this will give you the username and/or the member id number of the uploader.

Hello,

Thanks for this mod.

After installation (6.0.9) appears 2 new lines in postbit_legacy (uploads & downloads).

I've been looking at the template postbit_legacy not see anything. I have found that the template downloads2_postbit have this:

<dt>{vb:rawphrase dl2_downloads}</dt><dd>{vb:raw post.dl2_downloads}</dd>
<dt>{vb:rawphrase dl2_uploads}</dt><dd>{vb:raw post.dl2_uploads}</dd>

I want to remove the new 2 postbit lines.

Could be the solution to delete the contents of downloads2_postbit template ?


Last, but not least. I'm trying to insert categories images, but the images appear below of the title categorie. This is:

[squidsk]

Filenames and download name (which is the only one you can search) are totally unrelated. You can upload summer.mp3 and call it "Winter".

You clearly have no idea how the plugin works, if the plugin couldn't match the filename used to store it on server then it could never actually allow someone to download the file. So look through the database for the filename on the server to match it to the downloads entry which will give you the username of the person who uploaded it.

1. Why would you want to? Allowing HTML opens up more holes than you'd find in a block of swiss cheese. There's a reason why allowing HTML is turned off by default. That being said to enable it you need to find how stock vbulletin uses the allow html forum setting and duplicate that in the plugin.
2. I'm not sure what you're talking about, as long as you've got BBCodes for videos such as youtube you should be able to have video's in the description as I just checked on my test install and it works just fine.
3. The lightbox I believe only works with images that are used as attachments to a post, so you'd need to duplicate that to allow the lightbox to work in the downloads plugin.

There are quite a few plugins out there that gives certain groups the ability to post HTML. I'd like to see the same thing in the downloads as well. There's a reason why I only want HTML post access just for myself, and not others.

2. I'm not sure what you're talking about, as long as you've got BBCodes for videos such as youtube you should be able to have video's in the description as I just checked on my test install and it works just fine.
Guess I'll have to try it again. Last time I used the BBCode, I jsut saw a white screen not showing any video's in it. Thanks for letting me know that you got it to work, so I'll have to look further in to that.

3. The lightbox I believe only works with images that are used as attachments to a post, so you'd need to duplicate that to allow the lightbox to work in the downloads plugin.
Just a shame that there's a lack of attachment lightbox plugins. Guess I'll also have to look further in to that.

Yes, but where on that page would you like the buttons to be.

You'll be editing the downloads2_file template if editing the template directly, or use one of the template hooks (my recommended method) as the entry point. Again where in the template you edit is determined by where you want the stuff to appear on the page for the file.

I really love this mod and my site relies pretty heavily on this mod. One thing that I think would make this mod even better would be the ability to have images that are added to a file to open in a lightbox when clicked on instead of a new browser window? It would really make it look more professional.

Looks like that feature has been implemented on the developers own version, and just hasn't been ported over to this public version.

Check out the behavior on their website provided in the mod description.

+1 to hopefully getting this implemented on the version here.

Also, seeing this error when trying to import files.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/admincp/downloads2.php on line 785

I'm not a coder, so I have no idea what this means or how to correct it, but line 785 of /admincp/downloads2.php shows the following:

foreach ($_POST['import'] AS $file => $null)

I'm not a coder, so I have no idea what this means or how to correct it, but line 785 of /admincp/downloads2.php shows the following:

foreach ($_POST['import'] AS $file => $null)

What that means is that what is in $_POST['import'] is not an array so you cannot apply a foreach to it. In order to eliminate the warning, which actually has no impact on anything, is to check if $_POST['import'] is actually an array, by wrapping the foreach in an if statement that checks if the variable is an array.

E.G.


if(is_array($_POST['import'])) {
foreach ($_POST['import'] AS $file => $null){
//content of the foreach loop is here and unchanged
}
}

Does this happen for all imports or only some of them? If all imports then it might be a bug in the code. If some, then it might be that parameters are not being passed correctly when the import button is clicked.

Thanks for this, but I figured it out... For somereason my screen wasn't showing the select box located at the end of each of the imported files. You must select what files from the import list you want to import. Since I wasn't seeing the check boxes I wasn't selecting one. Once I was able to see the boxes and select one the error went away.

One more suggestion for this would be a Moderator CP module so mods can maintain the sections/categories.

[squidsk]

Technically that's still a bug as you should get a message that you haven't selected any files to import.

[Crotan]

Hmmm, I wish it would enable youtube videos inline using the video tags like the ckeditor would do for a normal post, anyone got a fix for this?

[squidsk]

As long as you have appropriate bbcode on your forums it should work automatically. I've tried in on my 4.1.10 install and XXX displays a youtube video just fine.

[Crotan]

Really? The Ckeditor uses VIDEO tags because really there's more than just youtube that it deals with.

Say I have a youtube video posted into a download description with http://youtu.be/sh9Vt-pcgrE?hd=1

it will appear in the actual description as just:
http://youtu.be/sh9Vt-pcgrE?hd=1

However, when the downloads post addon grabs the description and makes a thread it will see the video tags and correctly embed the video as intended.

Which makes me think Downloads II is missing something

Ok I have this installed and works pretty good. How ever I have a weird issue I can't figure out. Which is I have downloads and attachments enabled to download via guest. In which if I am on the pc logged in or out downloads work fine. If I am on my phone (Android) downloads are messed up.

As guest the download starts but says complete at around 27kb even though the file is larger. If I log in the same file will download fine. Has anyone experience this issue or know how to fix it?

Edit: Ok I tracked it down to a issue with the time limit between downloads. Setting it to 0 is the only way to get rid of the issue. So has anyone experienced this?

Are you sure you didn't also place a maximum MB limit on guest users as well?

Question; After installing the mod, I get this; "An error occurred while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned:

It shows up in "Show Right Column With Tops" and "Enable or disable plugin features for integrating DownloadsII more into your forum."

I also don't have a "Downloads" forum... Do I need to create one, and if so, how do I integrate this mod to the new forum..

You don't need to make a new forum for the Downloads, it is completely up to you. You can use the addon: DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On [vB4] (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=247952) for it though.

I'm not sure what you're talking about for your other questions.

[jpbryan]

Thank you for the addon info. For the other questions, let me just say it was my fault.. Too embarrassed to actually tell you the problem..

GREAT MOD, and GREAT HELP... Thanks..

[2fast4u88]

Are you sure you didn't also place a maximum MB limit on guest users as well?

Yea I am sure the issue is a odd one. As I said if I turn the time limit off it works fine all around. If I turn it on is when the issues come about.

Like the following:
Logged out as guest on pc downloads work
Logged out on smart phone downloads start and stop at around 27kb

Logged in the following happens for user groups with the timer on:
Pc works fine
Smart phone has the same start and stop issue.

With the timer off everything works as it should. How ever I would like to keep the timer on so need a fix to the issue. I though it may have been somewhere in vbulletin but attachments download fine.

Your simplest method to get the desired effect would to use the automatic thread generator addon when something is added to the downloads category, then just like the post. Which will contain a link to the item and its description.

I strongly need to have a possibility to change the position of a file on the screen (to move it up or down). When I import a large group of files, they are imported not in such order that I need, and I can’t change its positions as I need.
Can the author make such a change to this mod?

[hugh_]

For some time now it's been that when my users go to download a file they have to wait for it to complete to carry on browsing or download another file which isn't ideal. Is this something to do with this mod or a limitation in php? This didn't used to be the case as far as I recall...

like I said above the mods works perfect..
this issue is the server ..
if your on a shared server it's most likely normal if it's heavily used
I have worked on many sites and they have this mod installed and I never experienced 1 issue like you mention.. if it was good once and not any more
you need to send your host a suppot ticket

I'm my own host. And load isn't an issue. Also MaxClients, iptables and apache modules are not the problem. I suspect this has something to do with php but I'm not sure what...

Any suggestions?

Which version of php are these sites you know running?

Has no one else here seen this?

[Hippy]

PHP Version 5.3.6
and 5.3.10

Screenshots will show nothing, I'll try to explain.
For example I have a lot of files and I need to import them to this download mod.
1) I go to admincp->downloadsII->import and print the path to the directory with files I need to import. .
2) For examle I have file1.rar, file2.rar, file3.rar, file4.rar
When the files are imported, they are shown for example as:
file1.rar
file2.rar
file3.rar
file4.rar
But I need them to be placed for example like this:
file4.rar
file2.rar
file3.rar
file1.rar
And I have no such a function in admincp to change the files positions as I need.

Is it clear now?

[Lotos]

Next needed possibility is:
there is only one download dirrectory in which all the files are stored. It will be more usefull to have a possibility to create new dirrectories or show other dirrectories to store the imported files.
When you have o lot of files It's better to store them in different categories-dirrectories (files itself, not the discription).

[hugh_]

Any luck, Hippy?


Even I am getting this "Sorry! You have exceeded your daily allowed download amount" message now. :_|

Recently upgraded to 4.1.2 PL 1.

In order to temporary sort out the "Your downloding too fast" I had to set the downloads to "0". Is there a cure for this please?

Hippy, if you need access to have a look yourself, PM me. :)



I would appreciate some help on the following issue that I have with DownloadsII please...

I have searched this thread and the net and can't find a solution to it:

My members are reporting an error with Downloads II. They have reported gettingthe following error message:

Slow Down! You are trying to download files too quickly. You must wait 60 seconds before you may download another file.

I don't know why it is saying this as I have the wait time set to 20 seconds.

I have checked all my settings in AdminCP and they are correct - IE: -1, -1, -1 and Strict set to "No".

Your help in this would be appreciated.

Also, I don't see this message as Admin as I have no time on the downloads (set to 0).

When I set the members' usergroup (temporary) to 0 too, there were naturally no issues with the dowload times.


Is there a 60 second thing coded into one of DownloadII files somewhere that is causing this issue?



Many thanks,
Welshy2008.

group permissions.. try setting it to 20 or 10

Download DELAY: This is the minimum time in seconds that the user must wait between file downloads. Set this to 0 for there to be NO limit. If you set this number too low, your site could be open to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack! If the user is in multiple groups, the HIGHEST value will be the delay setting.

I'll try and figure it out for you .. might be a global over riding it

Ah ha, With regard to the "eceeded daily limit on downloads" I have sorted it. It was a new usergroup set up by one of my Admins, and that Admin added my to it. The permissions for that group aren't set up correctly yet as it is still in testing stage.

This is with NO downloads limit. I would however, like to get it back to 60 seconds delay between each download.

@RS_Jelle,
Download fails due to missing security token when Downloads are restricted to members. If a guest tries to download he gets the Login form. After succesfull login he is redirected back to Download, but this fails due to missing security token.

My workaround is to redirect the logged in member to the download page for this file where he can start a new download of the file:

find in downloads.php around line 485:

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

replace with:


if ($permissions['downloads2permissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['downloads2permissions']['candownloadfiles'])
{
exec_header_redirect("downloads.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=file&amp;id=" . $file[id]);
}
else
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('security_token_in valid', $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
}

That SAME thing happened to me. I thought it was because of changing servers, but apparently, it happened to you too. The Downloads tab on the Navbar disappeared, and I tried deleting the mod and re-installing it (don't do that!!). It left me with a mess that Hippy fixed for me.

yep yep, quite a few mods will require updates for 4.2 because of the new navbar manager.

Just use the new navigation manager to create a new tab for it. The module still works well.

hope this helps

Hippy, thank you very much for your post and help.

I go to configured my tabs for downloads, but when I go to add new tab and links for downloads, in my case, not appears the options:

"User is a memeber of"...
"User is NOT a memeber of"...
"Additional Parents".

I think that, for the link for manage files I need configured for appears only a Admins, but, like comment, in my case, not appears this options.

Attach a Image.

Thanks and regards!

I have a mod installed there
but your screen shot is for tab
you need to go to the download tab and the little drop window add link..
for the sub nav links

Ok, the little drop windows add link for the sub nav links, I have, but, I add the tab for Downloads and her links, but the link for "Manage Files" I don't know how made, because, in your screen shot appears the option for only some usergroups (using your mod installed) but in my case, if I add this links, appears for all usergroups?

Thanks and regards!!

If you need more screen shot, I attach :)

[Hippy]

Does anybody knows how to increase an amount of symbols in the file name?
Now it’s possible to have only 27 symbols to name the file.

[squidsk]

You'd need to alter the table in the database to increase the size of the field that stores the file name.

Does anybody knows the name of the table and the line to correct?

There isn't any problem with downloading Image of book, but when I try to download any book I see the above problem.

any idea please?

[hugh_]

Could I please get some help with this problem? Unless I can fix this somehow I'm going to have to install another download manager...

This was a php sessions issue. I don't know why I not everyone is affected but I fixed it as follows:

Before the following statement in downloads.php

readfile("$filename");

add...

session_write_close()

[squidsk]

Closing the session is a bad idea, its likely you have something set incorrectly elsewhere.

Why? All the programing discussions I've read seem to encourage it...
