Rebuild your styles and languages.



I did that and it still doesn't work. The user permisions are still blank. And now the downloads.php page shows NO catorgories.
http://www.247xtreme.com/forums/downloads.php

I tossed in the old 2.0 install file and fully remvoed all the stuff from the old version then redid the install of templates/phrases and that is what it does now..

i just keep getting the page can not be dislplayed error when rebuilding language :(

Have you checked the url?

I had that issue initially and just manually edited the url in the address bar and it worked fine.

Yeah I asked that. Got no answer. Maybe he'll answer you. :)

[CyberRanger]

I dont think thats my error - i cant be sure though. I rebuild styles and langauges by using the vbulletin functions (i just direct you to their URL). Does anyone see an actual ERROR MESSAGE?The link is wrong - http://localhost/3_0_8/admincp/language.php?do=rebuild&goto=language.php?

I manually edited mine and it ran.

how do you upload files? there is no options?

deanOnce you set the usergroup permissions in admincp, the run /forums/downloads.php. You should then see the option to "Add" if you are in a usergroup with those permissions.

[CyberRanger]

I do have one small problem. When I edit the usergroup settings, the last two lines don't display any text. See attached:

I uninstall thsi hack couse itgave me a ugly mysql error when i try to edit my groups.. and I still have the same problem eventhough I uninstall it. but good job.

any ideas?Did you do a change the permissions on your download directory to 777?

[CyberRanger]

One more small issue. When a file is deleted, the summary page of categories does not have the correct count, although the detail listing of sub-categories does.

Wrong count: http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/downloads.php?styleid=74, note how MultiManPublishing has a count of 9. That includes deleted files.

Correct count: http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=1&styleid=74 , sub-categories have the correct count.

[xtreme-mobile]

Did you do a change the permissions on your download directory to 777?

yes but have i done it correct?

i created a file called downloads and put it in forums/downloads

is that right cos it still is not working

This mod is too buggy to be reliable. Updates and bugfixes should be incorporated immediately in the download package. Instructions should be much clearer and easy to follow..

There are other solutions to this (non vbulletin) that can be implemented, at least thats what I will do. So... *uninstalled*

Im not trying to hack down on the time and effort gone into this by the creator, just sharing my opinion to rest of the vbulletin users. Maybe it can get better, the idea is good.

[CyberRanger]

I do have one small problem. When I edit the usergroup settings, the last two lines don't display any text. See attached:Fixed this myself. In admincp/usergroup.php, around line 205, there was a mis-spelled phrase.

Change: print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_eidt_all_files'], 'usergroup[caneditallfiles]', $ug_bitfield['caneditallfiles']);
To: print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_edit_all_files'], 'usergroup[caneditallfiles]', $ug_bitfield['caneditallfiles']);That will fix the text for "Can Edit All Files".

The last line is supposed to read "Can View Disabled Download Section." The vbphrase it is looking for is "ecdownloads_can_view_disabled". However, the vbphrase (under type Permissions) is actually "ecdownloads_view_disabled". You need to either modify the existing vbphrase or add a new phrase named "ecdownloads_can_view_disabled".

[Ron1n]

It seems like everyone is suffering from the same errors that are fixable if you follow westpointer's advice.... so just look at the posts he has been making and you shouldn't have any problems at all.


Not smart eh.....was the only way it would work and I have done every edit you supplied...........I'll do something real smart then and uninstall the mod......thats for your help.

Full of bugs.....support sux.....has since been uninstalled........when something stable and working comes out I might consider another try, till then......notta

I have a better idea, dont ever use anything I make again. You could try making one yourself, but I doubt you have the brains.

[thephonemall]

Ron1n:

This is an excellent addition to VB. With this much code there is bound to be a couple bugs. I apologize on behalf of all the complainers. There is no way we could attempt to code something like this ourselves.
I am still having an SQL error but I am sure it will be figured out shortly. This looks like an awesome MOD! I'll clikc install as soon as i get it running.

Uninstalled as well. I'll try going back to an older version. This new one just will NOT work. The permissions in the admin cp are blank and with all the fixes supplied they don't fix it.

[thephonemall]

Nevermind.. I fixed this problem as per Ron1n's instructions at:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=752016&highlight=division#post752016

Simply Change the number of files from "20" to "5" and then hit Save.
Categories are now viewable.

[ZombieAndy]

hey show some respect man ive had a few problems with this hack but ive followed the advice given and now its working properly so if yours isnt working its becuase you havn't installed it right and are too ignorant to follow the advice given. if you cant even install it then you have no chance at making one yourself so show some respect to the people who do.

[JMH11788]

okay, I got everything working now. Great hack Ron1n!

For the new version, think you could have a "Random Files" box? I think that would be cool! It would also be KICK@SS if you could include a WYSIWYG Editor like cinq has on his stuff. NOW THAT WOULD BE COOL! maybe have him help you if you dont know how? his site is http://vbarticles.com/

let me know what you think!

THE WYSIWYG FEATURE
This Hack utilizes a WYSIWYG editor from FCKeditor (http://www.fckeditor.net/).
From the website :
"This HTML text editor brings to the web many of the powerful functionalities of known desktop editors like Word. It's really lightweight and doesn't require any kind of installation in the client computer.
As it is Open Source, you are allowed to use it for free wherever you want."
It is compatible with IE 5+, Mozilla and Netscape. I have editted some of the files in the FCKeditor package for the purposes of this hack.
Note that I will not support this functionality at all, use the WYSIWYG feature in the Admincp at your own risk.

If you decide against it, you will lack the ability to upload images to your site via a http interface. But you can still do so through FTP or other means and
include the neccessary img tags in your article contents.

[Ron1n]

I'm sorry to say I wont be adding new functionality to the mod for 3.0.8, just for 3.5. I will add your ideas in the future, I hope you upgrade to 3.5.


Not to worry........the crap aint worth my time........and no I cant create my own but if I could I'd make sure it worked without bugs before putting it out there. You probably didnt create the code anyway.........lolShockingly, that is the smartest thing you have said in any of your vbulletin.org posts. Now go back to your no-traffic forum and stfu kthxbye!

[Hoffi]

I have a Question. i don't understand the following:

Can Avoid Purgatory

What did this mean?

And the Usergroup Right "Can Link to Files"? Is that, that the Usergroup can use external Files when adding a new Download?

by the way: Good Hack.

[Ron1n]

link to files = can provide links for downloads
upload files = can upload files for downloads
avoid purgatory = their files arent placed in a moderation queue
can manage purgatory = they can moderate the file moderation queue

hmm... where did you place the download folders (full path) and what is the setting in admincp?

in .....

public_html/Forums/downloads <-------- this is the folder i created

[Rids]

My download folder is in the site root (public_html) and to get it working I had to change the setting to ../downloads/ (note the extra dot).

Also, for some strange reason all my files lost their approval status so I had to go through them all again.

Can't say it was a smooth upgrade from 2.0f as there was a lot of tweaking had to be done but its working now and I'm a happy bunny - Thanks Ron1n for this incredibly useful hack :)

No sense on doing 3.0.8!

Glad to hear my ideas helped, good luck with the new design! people that are complaining about your mod now are just asses. they should be kissing your feet. its a FREE hack for god's sake! you even said there will be very minor errors. if they dont like it, they should not install it and STFU!!!

i found another prob with this great hack guys, it seems to have trouble uploading large files.. about 10mb and over... it just dosn't upload them, it creates the entry in the downloads section of the forums, but when you click "download now" it just brings up a 404 and if i look in the directory by FTP the file is missing.

any idea's?

big files are limited because of php file limitations. what I'd suggest, upload them via ftp then link to the http file name...best way to do bigger files.

[CyberRanger]

it creates the entry in the downloads section of the forums, but when you click "download now" it just brings up a 404 and if i look in the directory by FTP the file is missing.The ftp idea is the way to go for such a large file. One weakness of the code is that the upload entry is written to the database without confirming the file was successfully uploaded.

Ron1n - I sent you a PM (in case you don't normally check 'em).

Question: How do I disable needing to have an author? And is there a way to not change the name of the of the file when it's downloaded. It adds the author, short name and some number that end up at the end. Can this be removed and how.

[CyberRanger]

Question: How do I disable needing to have an author? And is there a way to not change the name of the of the file when it's downloaded. It adds the author, short name and some number that end up at the end. Can this be removed and how.All of this COULD be done but you are talking about editing downloads.php. If you know PHP, the change would be relatively simple. Look around line 511 for the text $newfilename to change how the file gets named. You'd also need to modify what happens when the author edits the entry.

As far as making the author optional, a better solution would be to change the submission form to automatically place the username in the author field. That would probably require a change in the template.

[CyberRanger]

If you edit a download, the file extension is lost when you save the edit. To fix this, look for this around line 549 in downloads.php: elseif($_GET['do'] == 'edit')
{

$result = $DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files SET `name`=".$dl->prep($_POST['name']). add this line before the $result:$newfilename = $newfilename.strtolower(substr($file['url'], strrpos($file['url'], '.')+1)); // fix ext dropping problem

The final result should look like: elseif($_GET['do'] == 'edit')
{
$newfilename = $newfilename.strtolower(substr($file['url'], strrpos($file['url'], '.')+1)); // fix ext dropping problem
$result = $DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files SET `name`=".$dl->prep($_POST['name']).

Uhg.. Well as another users has stated, I'm having another problem with my uploaded files count. I have actually 1 file right now for download... I've been trying to get a video file to work. Yes I have added the extension in the setting like you supposed to but everytime I upload it and you click the download link you get a blank screen.. so I've tried uploading it about, oh 11 times and now the site says there are 12 downloads available.. How can this be fxed because it's not right.

How can this be fxed because it's not right.It sounds like you have two problems 1) You upload the file but it doesn't download 2) you feel the file count is wrong.

As for #1, I'm not sure. Can you provide your site URL?

For #2, the file count is correct. Note that even if you upload the same file 12 times, the file gets renamed each time and will be counted as 12 uploads. Now, if you've deleted the file first, then uploaded it, and your count says 12 that is a problem.

To the above post:

Please post this in another thread as an "addon" and not within this thread. I think you offered great instructions, but I dont think that most people need to do this and I doubt the majority of the people can (physical + mental limitations). Many people dont even have access to non public_html or www sections of their website (except 4 tmp and ftp which I wouldnt advise using).

Thanks for your work, cant wait to speak with you on ICQ.

Also, a note about my own system: If you have an index file in the /downloads/ directory, then the direct link to the file is impossible to figure out. I might have overlooked something (i doubt I did), but users would have to know your abbreviation for the category, the way I format filenames, the name of the file, the author, and the time uploaded (which they would have to convert to an integer). Basically, its 15 minutes of work just to find the one file name - and provided that most people dont know how I create the new filename - its very, VERY unlikely. Using my system people cannot just mouse-over a link and see the file URL. Before they could, but now they cant.

[djsydeburnz]

ronin, thanks for this update....after some time i got most of it working on my site. i was worried i fubar'ed it, but after a couple hours of searching the forums i found most of my answers. i accidentally posted a question to the post on the 3.5 release, so disregard.

my only 3 questions left . . . .

Is there a fix avail or coming for the edit file problem? whenever you edit a file, it changes the original name.

Can something be done about removing the <br /> that shows in the edit window after a file has been added?

Is there a template i can use for the adv_portal that works with 3.0.7? the 3.5 version makes my frontpage look all screwy. 100% width and the table header does not fit in with the them.

thanks in advance.

[djsydeburnz]

oh, also i cannot see the permissions table that tells members what they can or cannot do on the downloads page....i think i missed something.

[djsydeburnz]

dang, last one, i promise. the latest files block seems to have all the files stuck at 6 downloads....????

[Ron1n]

ronin, thanks for this update....after some time i got most of it working on my site. i was worried i fubar'ed it, but after a couple hours of searching the forums i found most of my answers. i accidentally posted a question to the post on the 3.5 release, so disregard.At least you are self-aware and try to find the answers. If only the rest of the users could be like you.

Is there a fix avail or coming for the edit file problem? whenever you edit a file, it changes the original name.This only applies to files you added prior to the upgrade. No new files will have this problem. There is no fix for the old files.

Can something be done about removing the <br /> that shows in the edit window after a file has been added?I assume this is the same question as the one above - and the answer is no for old files, and for new files - this shouldnt be a problem. If this happens with new files, please provide a screenshot.

Is there a template i can use for the adv_portal that works with 3.0.7? the 3.5 version makes my frontpage look all screwy. 100% width and the table header does not fit in with the them.

thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
Copy a template from a module for 3.0.7 and take the variables ($) from the module I provided and put them in the 3.0.7 template.

oh, also i cannot see the permissions table that tells members what they can or cannot do on the downloads page....i think i missed something.Nope, I removed it.

dang, last one, i promise. the latest files block seems to have all the files stuck at 6 downloads....????Not sure what you mean by this. Latest files shouldnt be orderd by # of downloads. Screenshots are helpful.

[djsydeburnz]

i have attatched a screenshot and circled the latest topics. it seems that all of them say '6' next to them.

[Ron1n]

Odd, shouldnt say anything there. I am guessing I forgot delete that variable and the 6 actually represents a file ID or user ID.

[SupraT]

First off Ronin love the hack, works great, at least my version 2.o lol.


I followed instuctions to the "T" as I thought. Howver I must of missed or done something wrong as the downloads page is basically blank. I can add a catagory, but there is no other data.

Need some help as I can't figure this out.

Actually, I just figured it out. I ran the language update again, had to do it 3 times, and now it works.

Thanks!!

I anstalled this hack and in Admincp the admincp/downloadadmin.php?do=settings gives a totally blank page (must be some misconfiguration) The /admincp/downloadadmin.php?do=category one displays properly

Did you update templates and language? I just experienced similar.

Yes I did. It is a pain when you get no error just a blank page.

Hey Ron1n,

The hack is installed and working to a point, once i have uploaded a file it is CHMOD 600 on the webserver and not 755/777 how can i fix this?

Thanks!

[EvilHawk]

Followed the installation instructions and works great with vb3.0.9!
Nice job Ron1n!


This only applies to files you added prior to the upgrade. No new files will have this problem. There is no fix for the old files.

Works great with the new files but it looses the link for the external files! ;)

ps.aaa I found another missing phrase : ecdownloads_bandwidth

This wouldn't have been a problem if you had followed the instructions from the file "fixes 7 52 PM Aug 9 05.txt" ... ;)

Find in admincp/index.php:

construct_nav_option("Settings", 'downloadadmin.php?do=settings', '<br />');
construct_nav_option("Categories", 'downloadadmin.php?do=category', '<br />');

Replace with:

Hi,
it's a very nice mod for vbulletin :) good work! ok I have few questions:

1) Can I use this mod for making a music library? if so then, is there any way of uploading mp3 files through FTP? (bulk uploading)?

2) Can I add anti-leech protection? so on one can see the actual path to the files?

Thanks,

[JMH11788]

is there anyway to make more than one page per article?

[dark dragun]

I updated this hack with the new zip file, and the fix update. After updateing, the downloads.php page loads blank. I then uninstalled everything, including the old version. I tried starting over new with only the new zip and fix file but still the downloads.php page loads blank.

Edited: After rebuilding my styles about 5 to 10 times and rebiulding languages a bunch it loaded correctly. So my advise for those who get a blank downloads.php page, try rebiulding styles, language, and delete temp internet files. After awhile it will load.

[scoles15]

If you use the dit function to change the category of a download, the file name entry in the DB and the actual name if the file can get out of sync. AT the very least the .ext is dropped, which of course causes problem for a downloader. Any subsequent changes seem to get the names totally out of sync and attempts to downdload result in a file not found message.

I am currently, gettin all the name back in sync by manual edit of bothe file names and the entries in the DB. But even then, I can't allow any new uploads until, the issue is resolved. Any body know anything about this??

[Ski-Whiz]

Ron1n,

Is there ANY way to have this play multimedia files inline? Like possibly add this hack to this download hack:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=78235 ???

Playing media files shouldn't be a security risk, just the SWF files, which I don't use.

I think adding a place where you can view the viles would be cool with this hack!

Platnum,

I hate this same error. I think I fixed it by changing the Files Per Page setting in the admincp for the Downloads. I can't remember what it was set to, but put it to like 2 or soemthing. Than try it again. That allowed me to add a file, and I've never had that error again.

I think that is how I fixed it though.

Just a quick question.

Is this better than vBDownloads 2.0? And if so, is it possible to upgrade from that, to this one?

Thanks in advance. :)

[life is boost]

Hey guys, i had this installed and working perfectly but we moved to a bigger server. I have edited my php.ini like i did before to accept larger files but still anything over 2-3 megs is not put into the folder it uploads it with no errors just does not place it in the folder. so when you click the link to download the file it just gives you a redirect error. I looked in the downloads folder and it is not there. did i miss something else besides the php.ini file?

and liek i said smaller files work perfectly. i edited the php.ini in etc/php.ini like before on our old server and it worked like a charm...

No way to really do that as the program is currently designed. Also, if you are using this version of ecDownloads, it has many, many security holes. You need to upgrade to the latest version - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=120122
