ecDownloads vBAdvanced addon

[Ron1n]

This is to install an addon to vBAdvanced AND ecDownloads (both are required). It creates a stat panel similar to the sidepanel of the normal download system.


Add template adv_portal_ecdownloads with this content:


<tr align="center">
<td class="$bgclass"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] ecDownloads Statistics</strong></span></td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td class="alt1">
<fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
<legend>Latest Files</legend>
<div style="padding:0px">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100%">
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="{$stylevar['cellspacing']}" border="0" width="100%">
$dpanel_latest_bits
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</fieldset>
</td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td class="alt1">
<fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
<legend>Most Popular Files</legend>
<div style="padding:0px">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100%">
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="{$stylevar['cellspacing']}" border="0" width="100%">
$dpanel_popular_bits
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</fieldset>
</td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td class="alt1">
<fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
<legend>Top Contributors</legend>
<div style="padding:0px">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%">
$dpanel_contrib_bits
</table>
</div>
</fieldset>
</td>
</tr>


Upload ecdownloads.php to the module directory of vbadvanced


Create the new module using the drop down menu to select ecdownloads.php, and in the "templates used" field enter adv_portal_ecdownloads, downloads_panel_bit


Update your index pages to show the new module

[Ron1n]

Would you please provide a demo or screen shot?Look at any page in your downloads section.

I think someone forgot to attach ecdownloads.php
Yea, sorry. Added it.

[Ian Emu-UK]

The template caused all the other blocks on the side I put it to be placed at the bottom of the page with vBadvance 2.0 rc2.

But that was soon fixed by removing
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
from the top and
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
from the bottom.

I also changed this
<td class="tcat" width="25%"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] ecDownloads Statistics</strong></span></td>
to this
<td class="$bgclass"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] ecDownloads Statistics</strong></span></td>
Great addition to my homepage, thanks Ron1n

[djsydeburnz]

is there a template i can use with 3.0.7? This one seems to display at 100% width and the cell header doesnt follow suit to the theme.

thanks in advance.

[Gizmo5h1t3]

works a treat

[Kirk Y]

Nice... I adapted it to my index, looks fantastic. I'm trying to get the description of the item to be displayed on a mouseover, like a tooltip; using the "title=" tag. Any ideas? I tried including the downloads.php page and then using the variable $description, but that won't work because it superimposes itself over the index.

[Deska]

I try this one on vB3.0.7 and vBadvanced v2.0.0 and not work :(
All downloads URL not showup, links download have link to forum url, not download url.
Anyone know how to fix it?

Thank's...

Edit the file ecdownloads.php

1. Change all instances of $url to $biturl
2. Make sure the $biturl value points to your downloads.php file
3. Upload the ecdownloads.php file again.

Example:

Original: $url = "downloads.php?do=file&id=$id";
Changed: $biturl = "forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=$id";

[Deska]

It's work now :D
Thank's a lots MiniMo...

This is more of a question for the vbadvanced creator - not me.

Hi Ronin, I have installed this addon, but when I push on de link in the ecDownloads Statistics module, I go to /member.php instead of /forum/member.php

Where can I edit that.

[Rhoads]

Hi Ronin, I have installed this addon, but when I push on de link in the ecDownloads Statistics module, I go to /member.php instead of /forum/member.php

Where can I edit that.I need this too

[ZGeek]

this is how I changed the URL in the ecdownloads.php downloads file.<?php

require_once("./includes/class_downloads.php");
$dl = new vB_Downloads();

for($i = 1; $i <= 4; $i++) {
$name = $dl->stats['latest['.$i.']'];
$id = $dl->stats['latestid['.$i.']'];
//$value = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'],$main['latestval['.$i.']'],true);
$url = "http://forums.zgeek.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=$id";
if ($id > 0)
eval('$dpanel_latest_bits .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_panel_bit') . '";');
}
for($i = 1; $i <= 4; $i++) {
$name = $dl->stats['popular['.$i.']'];
$id = $dl->stats['popularid['.$i.']'];
$value = vb_number_format($dl->stats['popularval['.$i.']']);
$url = "http://forums.zgeek.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=$id";
if ($id > 0)
eval('$dpanel_popular_bits .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_panel_bit') . '";');
}
for($i = 1; $i <= 4; $i++) {
$name = $dl->stats['contrib['.$i.']'];
$id = $dl->stats['contribid['.$i.']'];
$value = vb_number_format($dl->stats['contribval['.$i.']']);
$url = "http://forums.zgeek.com/member.php?u=$id";
if ($id > 0)
eval('$dpanel_contrib_bits .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_panel_bit') . '";');
}

eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] .= "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_ecdownloads') . '";');

?>

[Robbed]

I'm using vbadvanced and it says these templates are not cached?

Uncached templates: adv_portal_ecdownloads (1)
Uncached templates: downloads_panel_bit (12)

How would you get them to cache...Thanks.

Also for the latest files it's not showing the number of downloads...it's just showing 7 for all of them.

[divided_by_fear]

in the "templates used" field enter adv_portal_ecdownloads, downloads_panel_bit

[Robbed]

ahh that was simple I had ' ' around the template names.

What about the latest files problem: it's not showing the number of downloads...it's just showing 7 for all of them.

[divided_by_fear]

i had the same problem i dont think there is a fix for that i have tried all the fixes cleaned out everything started over and no matter what it still does it i just removed the number for now

[Robbed]

I wonder if it's because we changed the coding so we can have more popular files listed.

[divided_by_fear]

nah i didnt change no coding even stock it does that after so long

[Robbed]

What code did you remove, to get rid of the numbers and what about that weird background color.

http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/5683/vba8mi.jpg

[divided_by_fear]

nah my background was fine but all i did for now was remove the number look in the php file that comes with this open it up only like 9-10 lines down look at //$value = remove the //

[divided_by_fear]

i was just looking i dont even think itssuppose to show numbers on the latest files... cause look on your main downloads page it done show it there so i have no clue why it would try on the module im going to look at the code a bit more but it has to be how he has it set up on the the main downloads that it gives numbers there cause all its using is the same calls as used in the top block on the downloads main page

[Zia]

..its also a kool adition :)

[FROGGYJ]

getting this error "Could not find phrase 'adv_portal_duplicate_identifier'. I guess I'm missing a phrase somehow....what should the text be?

[FROGGYJ]

bump

[djnth]

Is the first post updated with all of the fixes from the subsequent posts? Also is there a way to show a random download in a module in vBadvanced?

Thanks!

[Drakah]

How would I be able to add in the Author of the file under each file name listed?

[djsydeburnz]

can't seem to get mine to display like the screenshots. seems that the template doesnt update??? i even changed some of the text to see if it changed, and the text changed in the block. any advice?

[3z3k3l]

Any news of this moving to 3.6.x?
