Sorry about the lack of replies - the individual developer responsible for vBDownloads is no longer with the team, the mod has been taken over by another team member who is working on the issue as we speak.
Do bear in mind that as per the original post priority support is given over at our website - we can track the status of bugs etc there and we have systems in place to ensure replies are given in a timely manner etc.
That being said the lack of replies here for this mod is not "normal" - it's something that slipped through the cracks while the support developer for the code was being reassigned.
Sorry again to anyone who has been kept waiting.

I'm sorry about the delay in this. I just posted a new release, it should fix the errors with uploading files.

Fixed Right to Left text on quick search
Fixed Arabic language filename uploads (non flash uploader only)
Fixed error when mirrors disabled
Fixed leave page editor error and missing required fields error

Verify that you have the system online
ACP->Downloads->Manage Settings - System Online is set to Yes
Verify your group has permissions to view the categories

@DragonByte Tech i'ts a really great mod but there is a small amount of features in this mod, and for Pro version I need to pay ? 69.95 and that is too much for the person like me (student) having non - commercial forum. I'll stick with the DownloadsII which seems to have more available features than this Lite version and work perfectly with the 4.1.7 PL2. As for developers like you, you should think about some special offers for students and the non - commercial forums ;) But the mod and supportfor it is great ;)

Check the permissions on that directory and verify you are pointing to the right location. Until you have the directory set correctly you will continue to get that error.

What is the deal here with no category weight or category tree view in the admin cp? I would like to organize the order of the downloads but they are just in whatever order... Am I missing something here? If this mod could do this I would buy it but the way it looks now I am better sticking with downloadsII mod. I don't mean to give your product a bad review, but I just want you to know what I think (by the way this isnt a bad review on your product, I think its pretty cool so far, it just needs some things added to it). I was totally turned off with the main downloads view with columns, it looks totally messed up. Would you consider having some options to make the main downloads page line by line and a setting to set the thumbnails sizes (And screenshots sizes to)

As of now uninstalled.

The ability to sort the categories/subcategories is on the todo list for the next version.
As far as the front page, do you mean instead of making it 2/3/4 columns make it more like a list type of view of the categories?

I have read the thread over on your site, and I have read through this entire thread, but I don't see any options about music.
I am currently building my site to focusing on DJ's and underground artist. Is their a feature that would allow them to upload a single mp3, or their entire mixtape into one download. Also on that page for lets say a 17 track mixtape, have the users ability to listen before determining if they want to download it. If you can implement that, I'll definately buy the lifetime.

I'm running into an issue that I feel in completely my fault, as I haven't been into vB or any kind of web site design or coding for many years. When in the Manage Settings section of the Downloads product in the Admincp, no matter what I enter in the path to downloads I get a message saying: "There are errors in the settings on this page. Are you sure you want to save?" This occurs no matter what I enter as my path to downloads it seems, whether it be the absolute path or a generic html one. I've been able to get the system basically up and running flawlessly aside from this one issue. I dunno what it determines as my download path, thus no one can download anything.
Again, I am obviously rusty and the internet has come along way in about 8 years or so.... any help would be much appreciated.
Whoa this technically is my first post on vb.org ever?! WTF, I used to be a developer here lol.
Also, I have the downloads product disabled, however the "Downloads" link still exists in my Navbar Tab, and I see no way to disable that either. I have all modules disabled, and yet the systems is usable....sort of. You're more than welcome to look at what me and my friend have setup at this point lol. http://www.grievousguild.com/forums

If you look in the ACP you can find the path to your forum directory.
ACP->Maintenance->View PHP Info
Just change the path from your forums to your downloads.
Do you have it disabled in the product section? As soon as I disable it there the navbar link goes away. If I disable the global module I don't see it as well.

Hi
I have this same error message, and don't see anything in PHP info to change download directory.
I've tried ./public_html/downloads and ./downloads and full path and still get the error

I have a few questions, probably mostly user errors.
1. I can't seem to find out how to add the icon for the file type. They are setup correctly in the Attachments area in ACP. But when uploading to the Download module, the (in this case XML) file type does not appear, even though I have content type matching what I have in Attachments.
Edit: I found that this broken image was pointing to +/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif which didn't exist, so I just put an image in the directory under that name <shrug>
2. I can't seem to get rid of that "no image" image. We are using this upload initially for text and xml templates so there is no image as part of the file. My one idea is just replace your standard no image, image with one of our own. but, when listing files, or under the section "More from this user" then we get the same image displayed, looks kinda unprofessional, to have all the same images displayed.
EDIT: Found the image, noimage.png, and just replaced it that looks more friendly. Thanks
Thoughts? :confused:
Thanks!!

Sorry, been a busy week and didn't realize I haven't checked the thread.
We are not working on the next version yet. I don't believe there is a request in the queue to change the rating system although I'll keep it in mind when we start the next version.

Bug!
When i upload a file but forgot some field as message, title or Download Name, i will get a error message like that "You are missing required fields". However after i fill all the missing fields and click upload again, i always get a message "current uploading". The status of uploading is always pending although i just upload a file with 50kb.
when I refesh this page and upload again without any missing fields, the uploading is very smooth.
i think that the upload button can't works after the error message displays

Does this let you include external downloads links like in DownloadsII? Instead of having the files uploaded on the site could you just put the link in it and would basically be the same thing but hosted externally.

There are usergroup permissions and there are module permissions in the left pane downloads section of the ACP.
If those are both set right, what error are you getting exactly? If you want, send me a PM with the site and an account that has permissions to upload and I'll take a look.

This was a fix for the navigation changes in 4.2, I didn't add any new features. Currently all the files are hosted locally. Having external file links is an option that is on the list of things to look into when we plan out the next version.

Thanks for this mod, it looks like what we were looking for moving forward from DownloadsII...
However, I'm having trouble using the Import function. When I try to run it, after specifying the source and destination paths I get an SQL syntax error:

In VBdownload, is it possible to have the number of files available for download by category ?
Thank you
Sorry no, there isn't a way to show the count of downloads in a category. It's already on the list of requests though for next release, so I'll look at it next time we update the product.
looks like a good mod, just wish the download comments were more consistent with the rest of vBulletin. Same structure as blog or cms comments would be ideal in this mod. That floating in comment box just doesn't rub me the right way
I'll add a request to put in a different format for the comments next time we update.

Is there any way of adding an image into the Description box for a Category?
I've tried a few codes into the Description box bu non that will how an image.
Tried myself, no luck. Just seems too plain without some images on the page. Anyone been able to do this?

There is a box to add an image to a category, or are you talking about putting an image somewhere else?

Yes, adding the ability to allow an image in the Category Description area. Basically allowing html (or at least bb code) in the Category Description area. This way if the category name is self explanatory you can at least center an image representative of the category in the description area and hyperlink link it. This way there also isn't so much blank space on the page. I think the overall look would be a lot better.
You could also just add another input like you have for "Category Image" and call it "Category Description Image" that would center any image you input in the Category Description area and hyperlink it to the category page.

Any news on when/if you may implement this? If not, is there a way to make a slight edit to allow for html in the description box?

I guess I'm not seeing the urgency in this? Currently, you can use an image to replace the title area and if you don't use the description area, you can remove it from the template. This would accomplish the same thing.

For me at least ...unlike most vB add-ons I use, your Downloads page typically has a lot of empty/unused real estate on it. I am trying in make use of the space in a more visually appealing way. Currently unless a user has at least 15 categories with descriptions there is going to be a significant amount of blank space on the page. Removing the description area would only make this worse.
I know for me personally it would look a lot better with the ability to have images in the description area, so I suggested it. I thought it would be a pretty simple edit.
If it doesn't help others too, then don't waste your time.

Do you have downloads setup yet or are you still in the process of setting it up? It looks like one of the fields created on install didn't get created. If you don't have downloads in there, are still in the process of setting it up and testing, I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling.
If you already have it setup and being used I can give you a sql query to run to insert the field.

I just added v1.3.7 which fixes the following:
Fixed - various upload errors when not allowing mirror links
Fixed - ACP section links that don't show up well on different ACP styles
Fixed - "More downloads from user" image if no image is used
Fixed - missing user field for some users
Fixed - padding on user profile when user has no downloads
Fixed - importer category error
Dylan
Love this mod so far! Thank you very much for developing this!
A few suggestions for your next build:
Allow admins to control the order the categories are displayed
Allow different categories to accept different extension sizes. (5mb max .zip file for category #1 and 10mb max .zip file for category #2)
Allow each category to have it's own file upload limit per download.
Instead of comments, allow a discussion thread under the download post.
Allow admins to change the navigation link text. (Downloads)
What can I do about this error?

I corrected the fatal error above by just commenting out line 112.
Now I am struggling with this problem:
One or more files you have tried to upload are too big. The maximum file size for zip files is 104857600 bytes.
The max file size it is returning is from the the php.ini, the max size should only be 41943040 as defined for that extension (zip).
However, while uploading a zip file that is no larger than 10k I see an error saying it is too large?
I would also love to see your navigation object added to the admincp navigation menu, so we can set the placement of it.

You can do this now by disabling their plugin named "NavBar Button 4.2" and creating it yourself in the Navigation Manager.

I hava a same problem (before about 300 after more than 800)
In addition, the research takes only the title or the author, and not within the search parameters the DESCRIPTION file, which can be much more useful for filtering files (especially when there are many)
In this case it is much more usual DOWNLOADS II
It would also be very pleased to be able to include the tags to the files

I appreciate the response for the other answers. As far as suggesting is it a "bit rude" to complain/bump the thread for "free" support for a "free" mod, that is very disrespectful. I am downloading this "free" mod to test it out and make sure it works properly so that when I decide to use the "paid" version I don't have any issues. If I am correct that is your ultimate goal by offering this "free" mod, to obtain me as a "paid" client. I didn't know your "free" mods come with limited support. I'll keep that in mind for any future related issues that may arise with your free mods.
P.S. I don't view your mods as free, I view them as trails so that I may determine if I should purchase the mod. Again, thank you for your time in this matter.

Feature: The navbar now displays the full breadcrumb path back to the home page, traversing parent categories
Feature: File deletion is now fully AJAX'd

Upload
Feature: A new, shiny uploader based on BlueImp's jQuery File Uploader has replaced the old uploader.
This uploader has advanced features such as measuring network speed, ETAs and of course, progress bars.
Fully AJAX'd and powered by jQuery UI, this uploader also lets you manage your existing files, deleting them with a single click.

Feature: Bandwidth Usage - the ability to see the total amount of bandwidth taken up by users downloading your files (since v1.4.0 was installed)
Feature: Monthly Bandwidth Usage - the ability to see the total amount of bandwidth taken up by users downloading your files in the current month (since v1.4.0 was installed)
AdminCP: Extensions
Fix: Fixed a bug with the MIME type field being too small to store the correct MIME type for certain file extensions
AdminCP: Modules
Change: Removed this entire area, converted into Usergroup Permissions for maximum compatibility with vBulletin & mods that alter usergroup permissions such as [DBTech] vBShop
AdminCP: Import Utility
Change: Removed a slew of unnecessary steps
Fix: No longer shows an empty header if you have no importable products
General / Other
Feature: Deactivating vBDownloads in the AdminCP vBulletin Options now allows you to set a Closed Reason message
Feature: Downloads Managers now has a one-click link to manage a download's Moderated status when viewing downloads
Feature: The ModCP is once again functional, allowing you to approve moderated downloads as well as delete reported comments from one handy location
Feature: Auto-moderation of new files is once again functional
Feature: Thumbnails & screenshots should now be more resistant to over-zealous browser caches. Download thumbnails will re-generate if the number of files in the download changes.

I am on Downloads II right now debating whether or not i want to switch over to vBDownloads. Only thing stopping me is 2 questions
1. Is there a way where when you put an image in the description box that it automatically puts it as the thumbnail for the upload?
2. Is there a way to incorporate a thanks button in the download? Not necessarily having to thank to get the download, just for the people who want to leave thanks for being able to download the file.
DragonByte Tech
04-01-2013, 12:44 AM
1. The first image you upload will be used as the thumbnail. Ticking the "Screenshot" box gives priority over a loose image. In a future version, we'll add an explicit thumbnail checkbox that'll be used to select a specific image as thumbnail.
2. There's a Rating system in the Pro version that lets people +1 or -1 the download :)

I currently have a huge amount of files on our site, hobby-machinist.com using Downloads II by Jelle. But since there are no updated features, I want to convert to your system.
My question is this: Can I convert a HUGE library (815 files) easily from DownloadsII to your system or does it have to be done ONE AT A TIME (which will take forever).
I will gladly buy the pro version if needed.
EDIT: I just tried to use the LITE version to do the conversion from DownloadsII to your system, and got this error:

What did I do wrong?
Thanks very much in advance!

The above problem has been solved with an updated plugin we are using. However, we currently experienced an issue that not all of the old Downloads II downloads are being imported into the Vbdownloads system. Only 409 out of 1650 files were imported.
They are currently working on this, and we will let you know when it has been solved.

Hello,
I downloaded and installed this along with the vBCredits mod. They both work fine individually. How do I make them work together as mentioned:
Why vBDownloads?
Whilst looking for a new product idea, we felt that there was a need for a fully-supported downloads database in vBulletin. vBDownloads is the result of this. vBDownloads contains many interesting features such as multi-file downloads, password-protected downloads, integration with vBCreditsII and vBShout and many more exciting and innovative features!
:confused:
I checked all the settings for both and dont see how to make them work together so that the vBDownload is an action option in vBCredits.
Please advise.
Thanx

Hi -
My site still uses Andrew's Links & Downloads - and I'm looking to to move us to a supported hack - and yours seems quite good (and oddly enough you guys are from Scotland just like his was - what's up with that??)...
So - the question I have is: Are you going to be coming out with a v.5 version of this hack for the v Bulletin v.5 product anytime soon (like within a year)? I ask as we're in the v.4 product now, and are looking at the near future.
Thanks,

I bought the Pro Version because Jelle no longer supports or updates his version, which was quite good. The staff had some suggestions for upgrades, which I will pass on here:
(1)Thumbnails are alocated space down the left edge of the files listing screens. There are none, so a forest of place holders greets the viewer of any folder. Also, if there is any way in which to add a thumbnail photo I haven't been able to locate it. But in any case, I see no benefit to photos of what are mostly manuals and charts. One might argue that a photograph of the machine that the manual covers might be useful but (a) someone with a scanned manual to upload isn't likely to have a decent photograph of the equipment that the manual covers. And (b) the image will be so small that at best one might be able to tell whether the image is of some sort of lathe or of some sort of mill, etc. So delete the thumbnails. It will save a lot of white space and reduce search time.
(2) The files appear in seemingly random order. I now know that they are not in the order that the files were added. Because some of the missing Clausing manuals are now on the first page. So I'm clueless as to what the sorting function is. But they should be sorted in some variant of alpha-numeric order as the old system was. So that if someone (like me) takes the time to go through and rationalize the titles, finding the manual on a specific machine (or confirming that it is not present) is simple and straightforward. Further, the entry titles should not necessarily be the actual file names. To do so eliminates use of most punctuation symbols, which can be quite useful in titles. The same statements generally apply to the Folder and Sub-folder names. They should sort alpha-numerically.

(2) The files appear in seemingly random order. I now know that they are not in the order that the files were added. Because some of the missing Clausing manuals are now on the first page. So I'm clueless as to what the sorting function is. But they should be sorted in some variant of alpha-numeric order as the old system was.

The sorting problem was something I brought up as an issue months ago. I have the pro version and they immediately worked with me to add a better sorting function. The pro version I know now has numerical/alphabetical sorting of uploads. Not sure if/when this will be added to the lite version but if you want the option right now the Pro version does have it.
As for the naming of files currently you still need to rename the files to something as descriptive as possible no option for "File Titles" at this time.
For the folder/subfolders these are sorted through the admin settings under "Category Management" just like you would sort your vB forums. Which is much better than being forced to sort alphabetically - you have full control of the exact order this way.

Thanks a lot bz! I bought the Pro version a while back. If I still have upgrade ability, I will do so.
BTW (off topic) I see you run a cruise site. I once worked with Paul Motter on Cruisemates when he was in NYC.

Hi folks,
I am currently using DownloadsII. I actually missed this mod, if I had known, I'd probably have used this first. Anyway... I want to be able to create a simple list of the latest downloads:
Download name - Date - Download link that I can format (don't care if I have to hardcode it), that I want to put onto the header of my vB forum. Can this mod do that, or would the author work with me to make it happen?

Go to there, click 'show/hide more' link to see what I want.

There's no official support for this, but on our site we have a form for submitting custom work requests. It's in the rotating header (I don't believe vB.org rules allow us to directly link to this page as it contains promotional language).

DBT, just wanted to come back and say this seems to work great. Thanks for your work on this. I'll be trying to get together funding for Pro (we lose money on ads, etc, and running the forum) just for support (at this time I don't see us needing the Pro features).

Just installed, how do you change the page title? It should be reading my site name, instead all it reads is vBDownloads. I have changed the tab name in navigation manager, but the page title remains.

DragonByte Tech

vBDownloads is the name of the mod, it's not intended to read your site name by default.
You can change the wording of the mod by editing the phrases.

Yes. Each category has separate permissions per usergroup for: "Can View", "Can Download" and "Can Upload".

We installed this PRO version on our site: www.hobby-machinist.com.
I installed all the files we had to be imported in /hobbymac/vbdownloads
Questions:
1. We made categories, and began importing files into the categories.
The program does not sort or alphabetize the categories or files. Any way to do that? Would make browsing much easier.
2. The program is making a thumbnail image, and it is black. This is undesirable. How can we fix this? I would ideally like to change the default "No Image" to something nicer as I did with the category images. But how, and how to remove the blacked out images?
3. Is there any way for the system to remove duplicates without doing it manually?
4. This is from one of my moderators:
"In any case, I think, if I understand what New Files and Existing Files mean, that I just finished moving all of the files that you have uploaded out of New Files and either to where they belong or into Unknown or Delete Que. I have started looking at the files in Unknown trying to determine where they belong, This is going to be a much slower process than moving them in there was as you can only do one at a time and you have to download it in order to see what it is. I discovered what one group of GIF's and one group of JPG;s are and created sub-folders under Unknown into which to consolidate them. "
Is he correct, or is there something we are missing? Thanks,
Nelson

Under Category Management there is a column called display order, then a button at the bottom to save.

That is a manual way to do it, requiring you to alphabetize yourself. I would like a function to do that, place them in display order without having to enter 1,2,3,4,5, etc in the boxes.
