ecDownloads 3.2 Legacy (vBDownloads) is available for vBulletin 3.0.x

Talk about 3.2 here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=751766

What is ecDownloads?

It is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It allows you to upload files, create folders, link to external files - and more. It is very flexible and has many options. Sorry, no screenshots. Maybe if someone is nice they will provide a link to the latest version of ecDownloads for everyone to view it.

Changes in 3.2

- Too many to list... its a whole new world :D

Known Bugs:

- Missing phrase in add file (on nav bar)
- No file protection, add it here if you want: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=751284&postcount=174
- Missing phrases (ecdownloads_can_edit_all and ecdownloads_can_view_disabled) in admincp

Install

Make the file edits in ecDownloads.txt
Upload the contents of 'upload' to your forum directory
Run the downloadinstaller.php file in the admincp (install/rebuild styles and phrases)
Create a directory called 'downloads' (or whatever you put in your settings) and make it writeable and executable

Time: 5-6 Min

IMPORTANT NOTICES

- Upgraders should remove the CRON that they originally set up
- Look at the fix list to the right -> see if it has been updated since you downloaded

what did i do wrong?? nice hack !!

Upgrade to 1.0b

im getting a Cannot find phrase blah blah message when performing tasks,

That is only for admin tasks?and I didn?t include them. Just create admin_stop_panel messages if you want them.

and im also getting a javascript error on downloads.php on line 379:

is the offending line and the problem is Object Required.

Upgrade to 1.0b.

Appears your missing an SQL field. That's why I like adding the SQL on my own, less of a chance for error....at least what I think. I can't see why this wouldnt work on 3.03 but don't want to go through the trouble of installing and trying to figure out what's wrong.

I am considering including a multi-image feature that will allow you to more than one image per file. There will be no limit, as I will keep the images in a separate table and just allow admins/moderators/ppl with permission to select which images should appear.

Yes, but you did more harm than good because you missed a table. Now 2-3 people have semi-installed mods.

I have upgraded to 1.0c. This includes the user fields.

Also, can someone who uses a standard skin show me what it looks like? I have only run this on my board and a friends, neither of which uses the standard skin.

well, then there are two possibilites. 1) you ran his script, 2) you didnt run the upgrade script
run each of these queries 1 by 1, if any fail... ignore them.
ALTER TABLE vb3_user ADD uploads int(11) UNSIGNED DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE vb3_user ADD downloads int(11) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE vb3_user ADD downloadtime int(11) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL

Page was displayed before. There was one minor error with the SQL. Now his entire installation is ++++ed. Thats your fault, not mine. I made a mistake, then you made it worse, and now I cant fix it. I am going to speak with him on MSN and give him step-by-step instructions. Next time dont offer support if you arent 100% sure it will work. It just causes problems.

Hi Ron1n

Very good hack, it is awsome.

I have 3 screens from the standaard skin for you, because the site is only for testing, and I have 1 license.

I have 1 problem, everything are oke and work perfectly, I can uploading but when I will download a file, I get a error, see below :

Forbidden You don't have permission to access /downloads/iroland [].zip on this server.

I see that the file get a [] when it is uploading, is that the problem.

Chmod the directory to 777, and all contents.

Also, i notice that it is empty. THe timestamp usually goes there. I'll fix that in the next release. It really doesnt matter for most people, its just that since my site is all user-submitted files, sometimes people upload duplicate files. I added the timestamp on my server just to prevent problems.

Only one thing I missing, linked files, because via upload I can only upload until 2MB
You can change that in your php.ini file.

I could allow linked files... and I will consider it next time. Maybe I will allow people with OK permissions to link to files via link=/dir/dir/file.extension, but not off-site linking.

xx you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation. This does not necessary mean you have been banned.

For all admins after setting the usergroups to YES for both options (download and manage) nothing else was touched. Reverting it does nothing and all options in admin usergroup have been checked except ban.

When I go back to the original files I find out that half the options are now set as NO..

where did I go wrong? file edit?

Oke, changed, but nothing is happend. It is still the same, my testboard is on a subdomein "vbtest" my real download url = http://vbtest.mydomein.nl/forum/downloads/ but I have no acces.

just a little tip setting this up "Setting the 'download url' this is the path from the domain, i.e. '/downloads/' depends on the way your forums is setup! if you have your forums as this "www.whatever.com/forums then the '/downloads/' is like this "'/forums/downloads/' but if you have your forums like this " www.forums.whatever.com" then its like this '/downloads/' what i did was start with the full upload dir and work backwards till it worked just thought this may help some of you ( this is for the downloads_config.php file)

Page was displayed before. There was one minor error with the SQL. Now his entire installation is ++++ed. Thats your fault, not mine. I made a mistake, then you made it worse, and now I cant fix it. I am going to speak with him on MSN and give him step-by-step instructions. Next time dont offer support if you arent 100% sure it will work. It just causes problems.

Dude...you have some issues, so chill. All I did was try to help and my update didn't ***k anything up. You are blaming me for your lack of completeness in your installer. You know as well as I do that my update was fine but you elect to blow off your steam on me when all you had to do was to verify if it existed in your installer and if it did then either delete it and add it again or leave it as is.

Before you go and attack anyone trying to help in the future think first. I was contacted by several users of your script and visited this thread after learning they had issues and they asked for my help as they thought they did something wrong only to find out the issues were on your end. So before you make yourself look like a fool I would quit this crap now.

Its very simple. Look at my original post. You have clearly set something up incorrectly. If you give me detailed information I can help you, or if you have MSN/AIM/ICQ I can help you 1 on 1. I know it is difficult to set up at first, but all you need to do is follow the instructions closely.

Also how about a size limit per extension?
I?ll add it.

Another thing would be a global limit on the size of the download folder. Once you have XXXmb of files uploaded to that directory it disables uploading of new files.
I don?t plan to add it.

If you looked at the code and you know what your doing then you wouldnt have messed up. I believe you said yourself that you didnt even download it before you gave help the first time. I dont care if people asked you for help, PM them back with the help dont post it here and cause problems.

Ugh.. I don't have an add button there. I must've installed something wrong. I'll do a reinstall =/.. even tho I don't know what I could've messed up on.. You should. Hrm. Are you logged in?

Oke Ron1n, I have reinstalled 3 times, but I get everytime the same error when I will downloading a file

You don't have permission to access /forum/downloads/ Barfman Hud [].rar on this server.

My paths are good, I can upload with no problem.
I have 3 times the files geedit, and that is good.
I have een clean 3.0.6 with no hacks.

Is it normal that the files changed after the upload :disappointed:

Before upload = Hud.rar
After upload = Barfman Hud [].rar

Please, I have no msn (I hate that), and my English is not well.

Ron1n

01-28-2005, 07:02 PM

My paths are good, I can upload with no problem.Ok, for the last time... wrong. This means only your upload path is good. It does not mean your download path is good. If you post ABSOLUTE path to your download directory and the ABSOLUTE path to your downloads.php I will give you exactly what to put in the field.

Is it normal that the files changed after the upload

Before upload = Hud.rar
After upload = Barfman Hud [].rar Yes. But you should have the category abbreviation in the name. You obviously didnt fill it out. This could be causing the problem, because it is trying to access ' Barfman Hud [].rar' and not 'Barfman Hud [].rar.'

Reinstalling again will not help. You have to fill out the links correctly. This is not a problem with code, its a problem with knowing what to fill in.

if it is located as where I thought it was ^ then that means something in your apache config must be strange... there are two ways around this.

Im missing User Group Permissions for uploads. Everyone can upload files, but i dont want that user can upload files too (only Mods and Admins).

Thats included in the hack. Search for usergroups.php in the installation txt and it will show you how to add them.

There are two permissions:

- manage (can do everything, approve/remove/etc)
- download (can upload and download)

You should let all users upload files, because even if a user uploads a file that you dont like it still has to be approved by someone with management permisisons before it is available to the public.

Thats because your supposed to be accessing downloadadmin.php?do=category, not catagory. If you search in index.php and change catagory to category, it will work fine.

IS anyone getting 0k files?????The majority of the people are, but it seems a lot of people are having trouble setting it up. Once it has been set up, they seem to have no problems with it.

No way to chance it?
There is no limit for User too.You can change whether users can upload files via the following:

search in dl_add.php for CANDOWNLOADFILES, and change every instance of CANDOWNLOADFILES to CANUPLOADFILES. Then go to dl_panel.php and search for do=add. There will be two instances, because there are two different times that the navigation bar is constructed. You want to remove it from the one that deals with users, and keep it in the one that deals with managers.

IDEA FOR THIS HACK:
Instead of just uploading files, is it possible to download from a link instead?
If you want to post files with links to downloads, you want this hack/mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60403). It does a good job of what you want. :)

Edit: By the way, thanks for working on this, Ron1n. I had made my own thing like this because nobody had one, but with the proposed updates (multiple screenshots is what I'm looking for, maybe along with multiple "versions" of files for a single entry), yours will be better than what I have right now and I'll be sure to switch to this system. Right now I use attachments to display multiple screenshots, but this creates a huge reliance on the database.

Yes, now works! :)
But not with CANUPLOADFILES but with CANMANAGEFILES.

is it possible, that the Hack read out directorys?

it seems that if a user know the direct url of the file eg. www.domain.com/download/files.zip, they can download. So not much point implement usergroup restriction since anyone can download if they know the url.

But you can chance the dir name in something like "download_48464_awes".
This nobody can know. :)

See, i had vbdownload area installed....its not in development anymore so i uninstalled (and deleted all files) and then installed this one. But its still brining me to that page for some reason. I deleted the downloads.php file and uploaded this one but i still get that page

Ron1n

01-30-2005, 12:29 AM

it seems that if a user know the direct url of the file eg. www.domain.com/download/files.zip, they can download. So not much point implement usergroup restriction since anyone can download if they know the url.

Yes, they could. But how would they know that file name? Also, you can create a blank index page with an htaccess file that controls linking/direct access to files. I didnt want to , and will not use the database to store files.

Edit: By the way, thanks for working on this, Ron1n. I had made my own thing like this because nobody had one, but with the proposed updates (multiple screenshots is what I'm looking for, maybe along with multiple "versions" of files for a single entry), yours will be better than what I have right now and I'll be sure to switch to this system. Right now I use attachments to display multiple screenshots, but this creates a huge reliance on the database.All of that stuff should be available next weekend. I have a paid project I am working on, then I can work on downloads again.

is it possible, that the Hack 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.
No, I am affraid not. It is possible, but not in this hack. I would have to redesign the entire thing.

But you can chance the dir name in something like "download_48464_awes".
This nobody can know. :)

Edit: But dont forget to edit your settings
You dont need to change the dir name, that was what my download timestamp was for... ill fix that in the next release.

See, i had vbdownload area installed....its not in development anymore so i uninstalled (and deleted all files) and then installed this one. But its still brining me to that page for some reason. I deleted the downloads.php file and uploaded this one but i still get that page
have you installed the new templates? if he had a template with a similar name, then you would see his template and not mine.

our category views look nothing alike, so i dont see why you would see his... very odd. try deleting all templates and doing a reinstall of all mysql and templates.

Now i missing only the Link Downloads, then this script is for me perfect!
Comming soon :)

I read threw this entire thread and found my problem only stated once, but never found a fix for it stated afterwords, if there was one i appoligize for asking twice but here's my dilema:

When I upload files, i get the message "File Successfully Added", but the header puts out the error codes:

"WARNING: move_upload_file(home/public_html/downloads/GFX asdf basdft [].rar): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/dl_add.php on line 54"

and

"WARNING: move_upload_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpdy7S0I' to 'home/public_html/downloads/GFX asdf basdft [].rar' in /includes/dl_add.php on line 54"

I have my upload URL as: /home/public_html/downloads/
and my download URL as: /downloads/

the actual presence of the download is there, but when I click download to download it, it brings me to a 404 error page: http://www.mydomain.com/radio/downloads.php?do=file&id=3&act=down

i downloaded release D and then updated to release E and still get these errors, all help would be appreciated.

Edit: Also one error I found, and this might be due to the error I stated above but, on the main page where it says 'X' files in 'X' categories, after I deleted all the files i supposedly uploaded, that setting did not reset, it still says I have 8 files in 1 categoy when i deleted them all.

Ron1n

02-07-2005, 01:51 PM

When I upload files, i get the message "File Successfully Added", but the header puts out the error codes:

"WARNING: move_upload_file(home/public_html/downloads/GFX asdf basdft [].rar): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/dl_add.php on line 54"

and

"WARNING: move_upload_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpdy7S0I' to 'home/public_html/downloads/GFX asdf basdft [].rar' in /includes/dl_add.php on line 54"

I have my upload URL as: /home/public_html/downloads/
and my download URL as: /downloads/

the actual presence of the download is there, but when I click download to download it, it brings me to a 404 error page: http://www.mydomain.com/radio/downloads.php?do=file&id=3&act=down

I cant think of anything right now... if those are the true paths then everything should be working. You can try chmodding the download folder so that it is readable and writable by the public and by the server. As long as those are the actual paths everything should work.

Are there any spaces in the filename, directory name, or file author? If you upload to 'GFX file author.rar' but it gets saved in the database as 'GFX file author.rar' you would get the download error... but that upload error doesnt make sense.

Just to clarify... when you upload the file, does it upload every file correctly but give you the same error message?

Could you try uploading to your forum url /downloads/ and see if that works (i.e. forum/downloads/). In that case, you don't need to use the actual paths, but can use relative paths such as './downloads/'. You can always use relative paths, but I didnt want to confuse people.

Durtay

02-07-2005, 11:05 PM

I've tried using alternate path names, i tried moving the download folder into my forum folder, i tried chmodding all files to 777 and that didn't work. And I get those error messages after i perform the upload action, but the file does not actually upload to my server as I checked the download folder via my FTP client and no files are in the folder. I even tried uninstalling the entire hack and reinstalling, nothing has worked as of yet.

Durtay

I get similiar errors only when uploading large files, something that is 36 megs or above or something with spaces in the name.

I attempted to upload an image file (.jpg) but found out that, that extention isn't an accepted extention in the uploader. So I compressed the image into an .rar file. It's named header_top.rar and is only 60KB. Unless it's too small, I don't know what the problem is here. (and the name with the underscore isn't the problem as i removed it when attempting to upload it also.)

Hi,
upload from files bigger then 20 megs, are not in Downloadfolder, but in the Downloadlist.
It is possible that your server doesnt support uploading such large files. Many servers have the limit at 2megs. It works for me up to 5 megs, and I have not tried it higher.

I'm having a problem with the templates, the main page is fine but any page with the sidebar is quite a mess. The sidebar is much too narrow, while the nav bar and main page are too wide. You can see what I mean in the enclosed screenshot. I've not touched anything so far so everything is as the installer set up.

search for <td width="28%" valign="top">
$dpanel
</td>
<td width="72%" valign="top"> in your wrapper_side template, and change the values according to your needs. I used 28 and 78 because I thought it looked good with my boards, but if you have a different skin, you probably need to change it.

I get similiar errors only when uploading large files, something that is 36 megs or above or something with spaces in the name.
I addressed the first problem 1-2 quotes above in this post. About spaces in the name... I cant see why that should be a problem. I havent ever had that cause problems on my boards.

I've tried using alternate path names, i tried moving the download folder into my forum folder, i tried chmodding all files to 777 and that didn't work. And I get those error messages after i perform the upload action, but the file does not actually upload to my server as I checked the download folder via my FTP client and no files are in the folder. I even tried uninstalling the entire hack and reinstalling, nothing has worked as of yet.
I am not sure what to say. I'm sure its some minor thing you messed up in the installation, but I cant figure out what it could have been... i'll think on it.

4) verification that you have chmodded the directory to 777

Rids

02-11-2005, 01:32 AM

I found out what was causing it in the end, there were a few instances of "$stylevar[tablewidth]" being nested and the result was the side bar was being squashed and the whole window was being stretched as the variable was inserting a value of 955 each time. I've since changed all occurrences to 100% instead as I use a liquid style and now the templates stretch nicely with the screensize. :)

I would just like to say thanks for this hack, its just what I've been looking for (for ages) and when I can add thumbnail images to go with the files it will be perfect :)

Alright I messed around enough that I got it working now. I reinstalled 3 times and now it's working except for that one problem I stated earlier.

When I perform the action of deleting a file, the actual file gets deleted but the reference of the file isn't removed in the Uploader's uploaded files count and the file count in the category the file used to be in. Just something minor I noticed.

And now that I look at it, I think you have the scripting looking at how many overall uploads there were performed by a user, and how many files have been uploaded to a directory, instead of quering how many current uploads by a user and current files there are in a category within the database. But I'm sure this would add more queries too. Now that it's working for me, great hack :squareeyed:.

Hi there,

I can't be bothered to trail through 14 pages, but I've gone through the last 3 or 4 and I've noticed 1 thing about the extensions. If you want to upload different extensions other than .rar, .zip and .gz, simply do a search for ".rar" in the following files and you'll see this:

if ($lext != ".rar" && $lext != ".zip" && $lext != ".gz") {

$errors['message'] .= '<center>You may only upload .rar, .zip, and .gz</center> ';

You can simply add more extensions by adding $lext != ".EXTENSION". Remember, add $lext != ".EXTENSION" && if your adding more than 1 extension.

:: Files To Edit ::
dl_add.php
dl_edit.php

As a future release, would it be possible to edit these in the AdminCP rather than have to manually edit files?

I've had no problems installing this at all. However, when I upload the files.. no files are uploaded. It basically "makes" a 0kb file in the downloads dir.

A request: I have a number of files which are around 700MB each. Instead of uploading this via your "uploader" (this will be impossible anyway, it will simply timeout), I'm requesting the ability to link to the file but still be able to do the same as you can now (e.g. description, author etc), and also keep the URL still hidden.

An Error: You can simply not download. I get this error when I try downloading:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

I'm sorry to be rude, great plugin, but it seems you've put too little effort into releasing something that we can install straight away. You say the phrases arn't needed? How can you even think about releasing a plugin without releasing the phrases as well? Some people may not mind, but I certainly do. I'd rather see a nice message saying "Thank you, your categorie has been added" rather than "Error: The phrase 'categorie_added' cannot be found because the author was to lazy to release it so please don't complain"..

Again, I hope my last comment didn't sound rude, it was intended to.

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

I'm sorry to be rude, great plugin, but it seems you've put too little effort into releasing something that we can install straight away. You say the phrases arn't needed? How can you even think about releasing a plugin without releasing the phrases as well? Some people may not mind, but I certainly do. I'd rather see a nice message saying "Thank you, your categorie has been added" rather than "Error: The phrase 'categorie_added' cannot be found because the author was to lazy to release it so please don't complain"..

Again, I hope my last comment didn't sound rude, it was intended to.

Cheers,

Matt

Got a problem!

The install seemed to go fine, but I'm having a little trouble with the page itself. The category display list is fine, but if I try clicking on one of the category names, I just get a blank white page.

You can see the problem here if you try clicking on one of the 4 categories:

http://www.enworld.org/downloads.php?

I'm sure I've just done something wrong, but I can't figure out what it is. Anyone got any idea?

Thanks!

Question about adding extensions... If I add ".txt" or ".doc" when one clicks on the download link it opens in the browser. What changes need to be made to make it promt the save file to location window instead?

It looks good. I would love to use it. The only thing though is I have over 2 gigs worth of downloads, many of which are drivers, and maybe around 3,000 different files. Is there any way to mass add these?

Hi,

Question about adding extensions... If I add ".txt" or ".doc" when one clicks on the download link it opens in the browser. What changes need to be made to make it promt the save file to location window instead?

.TXT and .DOC open in the browser by default (in I.E anyway). The only way around this is if the person right clicked it and clicked "Save As" :)

It looks good. I would love to use it. The only thing though is I have over 2 gigs worth of downloads, many of which are drivers, and maybe around 3,000 different files. Is there any way to mass add these?

This would be possible if the maker of the plugin added a scan-dir feature, meaning you choose the dir, and it scans the files and adds them automatically. The problem I see with that is actually giving the name, author, description etc of the files, but it'd save time I agree :)

Hi Ron1n and thanks for an awesome hack of yours:)

Still, after reading 15 pages of hints and tricks, i still haven`t come up with any good solutions for my problem... :(

I`ve installed it without any errors, displaying the downloads.php just fine, so well for the uploading bit, but when i try to download, i get the errro page:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/downloads/_Cyber_Newfilenametest2_.zip on this server.

Okey, i have readed several places about url`s and cmod`ing... here goes:

My download_config.php displays this:

<?php
$INFO['d_perpage'] = '20';
$INFO['d_disable'] = '0';
$INFO['u_url'] = '/var/www/html/forum/downloads/';
$INFO['d_url'] = '/forum/downloads/';
$INFO['d_order'] = '`name`';
?>

And yes, i chmod the downloads/ dir to 777

Still i get that error message...

but if i try to login thrue FTP, and look at the chmod ON files, it get strange...

The upload chmod the files to 600 !!!
It`s not strange then why i can`t download it.. hehe

But why?! And where does this hack do anything with chmod`s ??

I`m not sure what the solution for this is, so again after reading all pages i din`t find any answer on this. (If im not blind, that is).

Hope you have a answer for me here ?!

btw.. uses version 1.0e

thanks.

Is this hack supported anymore? Ronin hasn't even been on the site since the 13th so I'm guessing not. It will be a great shame if this gets abandoned, I'd been searching for something like this for ages and even went as far as buying a commercial script but that failed miserably when it came to integrating with vB. :(

I've asked for the same thing over at vba boards, but no one's bitten on it yet. I think it would be great to have.

I was thinking of an add on that showed perhaps the top 3 or 5 latest additons (uploads), and top 3 or 5 most popular downloaded files.

if u need to restore your database it hangs on file_cat
i think its due to the word desc for the file description
desc means descending in sql

It only takes reading one page.. any one of the 16. Pick a page, any page, and read the post at the top.

Hi there,

I can't be bothered to trail through 14 pages, but I've gone through the last 3 or 4 and I've noticed 1 thing about the extensions. If you want to upload different extensions other than .rar, .zip and .gz, simply do a search for ".rar" in the following files and you'll see this:

if ($lext != ".rar" && $lext != ".zip" && $lext != ".gz") {

$errors['message'] .= '<center>You may only upload .rar, .zip, and .gz</center> ';

You can simply add more extensions by adding $lext != ".EXTENSION". Remember, add $lext != ".EXTENSION" && if your adding more than 1 extension.

Thanks for helping people out :D.

I'm sorry to be rude, great plugin, but it seems you've put too little effort into releasing something that we can install straight away. You say the phrases arn't needed? How can you even think about releasing a plugin without releasing the phrases as well? Some people may not mind, but I certainly do. I'd rather see a nice message saying "Thank you, your categorie has been added" rather than "Error: The phrase 'categorie_added' cannot be found because the author was to lazy to release it so please don't complain"..

Well, thats personal preference. I rather hate mods that make me install phrases because it is a waste of my time to do so. If you would like, i'll email you the phrases for versioin 2.0 in about a week and you can make the phrases including a tutorial showing users how to add them. Does that sound fair?

- - - - - - -

Now, a note to all the users about problems uploading files. You are having trouble because you have not filled in your directories accurately or your server permissions are not set correctly. I have not seen any other problems that caused the upload errors. Everyone always comes back after a while and posts (or PM's me) saying "it works, i just had to fill out ___ differently."

I will admit, these settings are not for your junior webhost, because they require knowledge of how to traverse directories, but I couldnt help that. I wanted so very much to be able to allow users to upload to a directory outside of their forum directory (i.e. elitecoders.org/downloads/ instead of elitecoders.org/forum/downloads) but for the next release I will simply resort to forcing downloads to /forum/downloads and eliminating all user setup.

As to why I have not released or been here. Frankly, that is no ones business, but I have been busy with school, paid projects, and college visits. vBDownloads is one of the things at the bottom of my list in order of importance. That being said, I expect to make more progress this weekend, and may release a nice treat next weekend to a few beta testers. After they assure me that it works, I will release to the public.

But still Ron1n, i have tried what u say several times, several ways and still it chmod the files to 600.

Even got help from sys admin of hosts, they din`t find a better way to fix it either.

I`m not a n00b to php and moding vB files, so i have looked true your files to understand what you have done to make this. Haven`t find anything about chmod.

Maybe im just blind, but not a junior on all this.

Will let it be to see if there is someone else that comes up with an solution for this, or sorry to say this (but of the slack of support) i will uninstall it.

I've run across a problem uploading files that appears to be related tofilesize. The php.ini on our server limits file uploads to 2MB or less,but if I try to upload a file that's 1.6 MB it fails with either"Document contains no data" or a "page not found" error -- neither avery elegant way of failing. It would be good to include a filesizecheck on uploads, if that's possible... or at the very least add anadmin option to set a limit that is displayed on the upload screen("Maximum upload file size is xx") so that users know not to tryuploading anything larger.

Also there are a few spelling errors on some of your pages.

On the Add file page, recomended should be recommended (two m's).
On the Stats, Search and My Files pages, comming should be spelled coming (one m). Personally, I have an aversion to "coming soon" type pages. I'd rather you left that out until it was really there.
In the User Info box, you used Your when you should've used You're or You are. Personally, I'd rather just see Logged in as nnnnn.
One other note, if you add phrases, it makes it 1000 times easier toadapt to other languages and it makes it easier for people to changethe wording of things like "You're logged in as... " to simply "Loggedin as..." to suit their preferences. I know it's more work to code, butin the end, you'll get much appreciation!

All in all I just want to say thank you for what is shaping up to be anexcellent mod. I really like the layout and the work you've put intoit. Keep up the great work!

I just have a question. I added file extensions and some of them are image extenstions for wallpapers. Though, i feel there is a problem. It shows the full path to where the image is. So, anyone can just freely download what ever file they want from going to the forum.com/forum/downloads/ directory. Is there anyway to prevent this?

For everyone having the CHMOD 666 Forbidden File problem - here's the solution. :)

Find this code in includes/dl_add.php

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'], $INFO['u_url'].$newfilename);

And add this code directly under it:

chmod($INFO['u_url'].$newfilename, 0755);

This will CHMOD the uploaded to file to 755 and thus eliminate the 666 bug. :)

I mean no disrespect to ron1n but as he himself stated, this is not a high priority creation on his list. To be honest, a fully integrated download section that is seperate from the forums but utilizes VB's own backed is one of the few things we're missing.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=620905&postcount=7

give it and the 1st post a read. There are ppl willing to create such a monster but they don't feel that this is a much sought after creation. Again, this is not a dis or attempt to steer ppl away from Ron1n's creation. What he has is a nice system but he's not interested in expanding it, it's his own personal system that he decided to share (and like it or not, you should be grateful) and again, it's not a high priority for support.

The only issue I have with this addon is the link back to your site since it contains game cheats. I run a gaming clan and site and refuse in any way to link back to or be connected to in any other way a site that has cheats. I have enough problems with hackers as it is without helping them. :squareeyed: Otherwise I like it though.

Personally, I would love to see what Ron1n has put together for what he mentioned as a 2.0 product. Seeing as that was almost a month ago, my hopes are fading.
