NOTE: If you have 1.0 installed you will need to: Delete the dl_x tables and the "candl" colum in "usergroups"

Delete 'candl' query: ALTER TABLE `usergroup` DROP `candl`

[mikaelweb]

Waiting a long time.

// Made for full intergration into vbulletin.


in the dl_admin.php file. ;)

Wouldn't it be easier to release this sub version in the existing 1.0 thread ? :)

[mikaelweb]

[Amiga75]

Is There anything else you would like to see in 1.2 ?


Yes, there is :D

* Option to store files in the filesystem instead of the database
(Prevent users from seeing the direct link to the file)
* AdminCP Import a filesystem directory to the downloadscript
(you can upload a bunch of files to a directory via FTP and then add all in a single step to the script).
* Payed Downloads
(Subscribe to the download area)
* Statistic page to see:
- how often a single file was downloaded
- how much traffic this was
- how many downloads at all
- traffic at all
* User has to agree a license page (checkbox) before the download starts
* Report a broken or infected file to a mod or the admins
* Move files from one category to another
(do this for multiple files in a single step like you can do it with the PMs)
* AdminCP Option to temporary disable downloads from a category
* add a column to the filelisting page and select in the AdminCP if a sponsor button should be shown there
* add links to external files for downloading in the admincp with a notice that this
link is an external one


I think that enough for 1.2 I wish :D

Wow, Thats alot :p
ill try to get those done, If there are some i cant do, Well im sorry :(

[uae]

Thanks for sharing :)

I installed the hack, and uploaded a file to "Folder", but whenever I click on the Download link to download the file I have uploaded, I get "The page cannot be found"!

Where are the Screenshot images stored?? it's not in the Downloads folder, even tho I can see it when I go to the file page, and I have selected to upload to folder, not database!

[Stephen Powell]

Great hack, installed very quickly. Also looking forward to the planned v1.2 alterations. :)

[mikaelweb]

looking forward v1.2

[Getox]

Screen shots are stored in the DB but in 1.2 i will make it upload screen to the download folder.

[Getox]

Update!:
Folder downloads now work.
And the screen shot part wont be shown if you didnt upload one.

[StevenIsProek]

yay thanks!I hope you support this hack 4 as much as you can. We can donate you money to keep doing it :)

[jugo]

yay thanks!I hope you support this hack 4 as much as you can. We can donate you money to keep doing it :)
I agree with Steven....

Something like this has been long overdue and thanks to you for bringing it!!!

[StevenIsProek]

Hey Getox. You should check out PafileDb and get some ideas. I love pafile db we all do!I think thats something we all want.
http://demo.phparena.net/pafiledb/

[mikaelweb]

yay thanks!I hope you support this hack 4 as much as you can. We can donate you money to keep doing it :)

I agree with Steven to

[Mickey19781978]

Excellent work
was waiting for tyhis

Cheers :)

[Getox]

Thanks for all the comments and ideas :)
looking at the pafile db i see that i could do a Date added, Icon for the file, the uploader, version, last downloaded, filesize and a better comment system(With the bbcode and all)

[Mickey19781978]

* Mickey19781978 clicks install

Excellent work m8ey

Seems to be working fine :)

[mikaelweb]

Prevent users from seeing the direct link to the file

[Getox]

Prevent users from seeing the direct link to the file
If its in the folder i could try, but if its a link to the file i cant stop that.

[Skyline_GT]

I am looking forward on version 1.2
Really good and useful hack !!!

[mikaelweb]

[StevenIsProek]

Well thats the next thing ill do on the TODO list, Just for you.

[MrD]

Hi,
is it possible, that the Area read out directorys?
I mean, i will upload files with any extension (rar,zip,pdf) via ftp to a directory (name of category/Subcategory) and the script shows the files.

Sorry for my bad english :)

I think, thats save Time by uploading an Editing files/Descriptions.

[winlya]

much support ^_^.
This is great hack.Waiting 1.2,1.3 and more ^_^
Thanks for support man.

I could try that for 1.3.
@winlya: No problem :)

fine, i wait for 1.3 :)

But, if you would like tester, i help you :)

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

Invalid SQL: DELETE FROM template WHERE title like LCASE('downloads_%')
mysql error: Table 'usr_webxxx_x.template' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

:disappointed: :disappointed:

[Getox]

:disappointed: :disappointed:
In the installer look for that query "DELETE FROM template" and remove it and try that again.

If it dont work ill post a diff installer.

[Ron1n]

while ($file = $DB_site->fetch_array($files))
{
$countcomments = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_coms WHERE fileid='" . addslashes($file[id]) . "'");
$comments = mysql_num_rows($countcomments);
eval('$filebits .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_filebit') . '";');
}

If you have 25 files in a category you will run 50+ queries on this page... this will eat up a TON of cpu.

If you cache download_filebit you can knock out 25 queries, but they arent the important ones. (Note: im not 100% sure that it doesnt cache the template after fetching it once, but I had this problem with a hack I made last year)

The query to select the comments per file will take a long time unless you create an index by the file's id, and even then it will be very poor performance.

You have a lot of performance issues. If you want, I can help you. My download mod has virtually no performance issues except on upload/edit/delete (which occures infrequently that it is not a factor). It actually runs fewer queries than the average vB forum page. My msn it ronin at elitecoders dot org.

[BamaStangGuy]

He didn't copy your hack

Get over yourself

[Kent100]

Thanx.!

Please Help! :ermm:
Sorry for my english :nervous:

[yoyoyoyo]

I dont need support from someone that copys my hack.
and dont be coming in my post talking about your hack and its stupid little querys.the hacks are nothing alike - have you actually done a comparison? lets... ok now opening araxis merge.. opening his "downloads" php" and your "downloads.php" file... hmm.. not at all the same.. the only thing that is the same is the setting of the PHP environment and the navbits, which I doubt either of you "wrote." Now let's compare his "downloads.php" file with your "download.php" file: again the PHP environment, but nothing else. So far batting 0 for 2.. now let's open up a web page that has your download area on it, and one if his: hmm.. not at all the same... well.. they both have file downloads, but that is where the similarities end.

It is easy to shout "YOU STOLE MY HACK," but until you can PROVE he did nobody here is going to believe you, and you make yourself look foolish. The fact is that a "download area" is not a groundbreaking idea - it has been done before on many many websites for many years, so to even claim he stole your "concept" is silly.

[Ron1n]

and dont be coming in my post talking about your hack and its stupid little querys.Ok. Thats it. I tried to be nice.. and im done with that. You came over onto my thread talking about how I coppied you when i didnt... and I tried to extend an olive branch.... but nevermind about that.

Earth to you: Your hack is crap. Second of all: my hack was finished before yours (just not released) and the code is nothing the same. I'll be the first to admit mine has some faults, but its not a copy of yours and isnt even close. Dont get your pants in a bunch just because I released something better than you.

If you open your mouth again about "i coppied your hack" ill be forced to compare code and then people will see who is right and who is wrong.

Cry me a river.

[Ron1n]

Cry me a river. Arent you the fool crying about his hack being coppied?

[StevenIsProek]

stop fighting :( we just want good hacks

[Spyke]

so, is this hack not being developed anymore or something ?? I'd really like to see v1.2....

[Ron1n]

no, he stopped. but vBDownloads (the official one) is being developed by me.

[StevenIsProek]

that sucks :(O

[Spyke]

meh that does completely suck becuase i would rather stick with this one :(

[StevenIsProek]

I hope he still does it. Forgot what others say

[winlya]

the hack is cool,but running much query.
he has trying developed this hack with version 1.2 and more

[pelican]

cool hack but i will install if there is paid download using forum point, and the file is not store in db.

[Ron1n]

meh that does completely suck becuase i would rather stick with this one
This one n*2 queries... your better off finding another that uses fewer

[Getox]

This one n*2 queries... your better off finding another that uses fewer
stop pointing people away from my hack.

[Getox]

no, he stopped. but vBDownloads (the official one) is being developed by me.
GET LOST U LONER!

and yes im still making it.

[Guest190829]

Please don't argue in the threads and keep it outside the forum. I'm not a staff but I suggest the creator of this thread pms a moderator/staff about the issue.

Take a look here too. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/rules.php?)

[Spyke]

and yes im still making it.

meh would of been good to know before i uninstalled it >_<. All this bickering is getting me confused.

[Xenon]

Calm down immediatelly!

If you have personal problems with each other, then clear them per PM or put each other on your ignore list, that's why there is such a feature.

I won't allow public wars here.

*closing thread*, as there is already another supportthread for that hack, and the rules are clear that you shouln't open new threads for new versions!
