one more thing would make this mod the best ever.

Giving the links of the files in formats matching the vbulletin format if files are going to be used in threads for example
also links to the files to be able to post them in threads and they'll be downloaded directley from there.

I don't understand your question.
You can link in the forum like:
This will be converted to a clickable link and the only thing a user has to do is to click the "download" button.

You don't want to put direct download links in your forum, because that way everybody can download the files and discard any restrictions made in Downloads II. You wouldn't need something like Downloads II in that case.

at least for the images it would be nice so if the extinsion is .jpg || .gif || .jpeg
for example it will give code

Ofcourse, I fully agree with you there.
And it would be nice if there would be a build-in option to have a choice to just edit a file, or replace the file with tne new file. Agree with you there too.

Hope RS-Jelle will get back soon.

I could not find this through the search function of this mod thread, so I am asking here:

Is there a way to restrict members from downloading files until they have made X amount of posts?

Also, I just found a member that is bypassing my download restriction for non-supporting members. I have a limit of 3 downloads per day for free members; however, he figured out that he can change his IP address every 3 downloads, and go all day long. So, I banned him, but it shows a major deficiency to this software. I make restrictions based upon usergroups, with named users in them. Why is the download software restricting based upon a different variable that I cannot control? That is not a good thing.

How can I change this?

No unfortunately there isn't. I needed that too but as far as I know this feature will only be available in the vb4 version of Downloads II.

I don't think that the check is done against ip address, except if you allow downloads for guests because that's the only way to check guest downloads.

Check your guest settings. It might help to add some download amount (in kb) limitation to be sure that users can only download a max amount per day.

Hmmm I have an .htaccess file already. However it in a directory up from where the downloads.php is located. :(

For instant my .htaccess file is located within /www
and the downloads.php file is located within /www/forums

What do I do?

That doesn't matter. You should have the .htaccess mentioned by RSJelle in your webroot diretory.
So in your case that would be your /www directory.
If you already have a .htaccess file in there, add the 2 lines RSJelle gave you.

Is is possible to force the Create New Thread addon, where it says Thread Discussion to be bold & underlined?

I have tried in the template but it doesn't take. Any suggestions?

added, I also tried though the phrase adding the u and b code, it does not parse and shows as the tags.

I have files with long names, but names cut out.
How do I make out the full name.?

@Cprade: Make spaces in the name. You can leave the physical filename as is, but change the filename in downloads2.

For example. Your filename is:
darnthisfilenameisverylong.zip

You upload this file to your forums using Downloads 2.
Now in the field were you put filename, describtion etc. you put this as filename:
darnthisfilename isverylong.zip or darnthis filenameis verylong.zip.

By creating spaces in there, you will see that the filename will be wrapped over multiple lines instread of being cut out.
I presume that is what you wanted?

Hello Black Tiger.

What I want is the following, which leaves the full file name, which is above the description.

For example, I have a file named:
"Manual para la elaboraci?n de curriculum vitae y carta de presentaci?n"

But after I published it only goes as follows:
"Manual para la elaboraci?n de curriculum vitae y c"

I hope I can help.
Thanks

Oh sorry, I thought you wanted something else.

With what you want, you need the help of RSJelle because if possible, it almost sure needs a file or code adjustment.

You probably made no backup of the original files?

If yes, you should put them back in the original location configured by you the first time.
The filename should contain the number 70563 in this case and other numbers with the other files.
If you did not backup your files, then you have a problem.

Please answer the following questions:
1.) Yes oke, but are they in the same downloads directory relative to your forums as before?
2.) Do they also have the numbers in the filename?
3.) Did you remember to make a directory ec_tmp in the downloads directory like /downloads/ec_tmp and also chmod it ot 777?

Only check for files and filenames from which you see this error notice!

First you can try to re-upload all Downloads II files again, be sure to set your FTP program to work in ASCII transfer mode.

What exactly did you do? Because first you say you reinstalled the forum. In your later reply you say you upgraded. Did you first reinstall and after that upgrade or what exactly?

Have you really doublechecked the missing files? The error gives a notice that the file is missing.

When I try to download:
http://mugenarchive.com/forums/downl...ain%20Gate.rar
It gives me a 404 not found. So the file can't be there. If I can't find it, neither can Downloads II. Please check again.

If the file really is there, you either have to wait for RSJelle to help you, or if you trust me, give me some ftp access and acp access (by pm or email), so I can see what's going on, if I can find the problem.

You have to edit the order in the CPnav XML file. I think Downloads II is includes/xml/cpnav_ecdownloads.xml

You edit displayorder. You'll have to look at your other cpnav files to see what number they're ordered in to know where you want your Downloads controls to appear.

i installed this mod but the problem is that we can't upload high size files.
and also when we give it direct link, it still shows direct link to users.

it's the best if developer fixes this issues, else it's not so hot mod.
bytheway, .htaccess solution not works with me

Can you give a screenshot of that direct link? Because I don't see it when I link to files.

About the .htacces and high size files, you might try a php.ini in your webroot.
Put these lines in your php.ini:
upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 10M

This is for 10MB, adjust to your needs. If this also does not work, or causes a "error 500 internal server error", remove the php.ini and contact your host to increase the uploadsize.

I would certainly be interested in the enhancements. Even more when there could also be an option that users would be able to download only after a certain amount of posts.

But unfortunately I'm no coder and I can't make such things.
I just know some things f.e. about .htaccess and php.ini because I also have a little hosting company.

is it possible to use the menu items as a drop down menu (like Forum > Cummunity)??

laters files and most popular files
tables has just deseper for some reasen any idea ;/

How can I increase the title's number of characters? (the default number is 50)

Pls help! :(

There's a bug in the creation of the _author field. If a username has unicode characters (e.g. Sqυιd) when the author textarea is being processed the mu and ioto are referenced using &XXX; notation (e.g. Sqυιd = Sqυιd) . The problem comes in with line 1284:

Rather than process Sqυιd as one member the line actually splits the name into three pieces Sq&#965 , &#953 and d, and then of course can't match the username to the account because it thinks it has three separate usernames.

My solution was to write a custom function and replaced the call to explode with a call to the new function.

Hi, I've vBulletin 3.8.4 and I'm using 'Links and Downloads Manager' and has lot's of file downloads.

I'm keen to test out "DownloadsII" but am apprehensive if both the doanload system could exist together or not? I don't wish to remove the 'LDM' before I test out 'DII' as the 'LDM' also provides a 'media player' to play the downloadable media files and am not sure if 'DII' also has the similar features or not.

Please advice.

You can have both mods installed together without any problems :)

But there's no media player in DownloadsII.

Hi im not really sure where to ask this question and im hoping someone can help me. I installed various mods including this one to my forum last night and all the avatars have disappeared. I thought it was another mod but i have uninstalled that one and there is still no avatars. I have checked the settings and they are all ok.

Its all good i have fixed the problem

Ugh, this plugin will not install my board. I have ~750k members and when importing the plugin it hangs. I guess it has to do with all the tables it has to alter. Has anyone encountered/fixed this?

Great Mod. But I'm having a Issue. After Installing, I tried to go to Download>Categories I get a White Screen? Same with Import and Downloads. I can get to settings, but that is as far as I can get? Can you guys Help? Please?

Anyone?

This is the Screen I get.

I know it has been said that GARS will effect it, but it's like some Code is missing?

Hi.

In some back pages, I posted this problem, I continue with the same problem and I don't view if is solved (sorrys if has posted the solution of the issue):

When the users go to download some download, when click in Download button, this generate a url with hash, for example:
The user have a message of security token, and can't acces to this download.
But if this url I cut the final part: &act=down&actionhash generatin only this url:
Not appears a message of security token and can acces to download file without any problem.

Can help me to solved this issue?

Thanks and regards!

If I upgrade from 5.1.0. to 5.1.2, will that affect my categories and files in any way, or make them disappear?

Is there a way to make all the URL's SEO friendly for this mod?

I've been using this mod very happily for several years until today when I tried import some files after upgrading from vbulletin 3.8.7 to 4.1.3 recently and received the following empty import page...

Any thoughts on what might be wrong? Everything else seems to be working fine?!

Thanks!

hugh_, this mod is for 3.8 versions of vBulletin.

If you upgraded to 4.1, then download that version of the mod. The link should be in the first post.

Seems I posted in the wrong thead, my bad...

i can add url rewrite? for seo?

I have a constant and annoying error with this mod and I quite don't know how to solve it.

the apache error log shows:
This shows up in different locations as search, showthread and other.

The line 102 goes down to line 1 of the ajax_start plugin of this mod here and ist shows a simple
Like dancing to a good rhythm, I can travel with it to differnet lines by inserting and deleting comments, but I simply don't know, what the real problem is and why I seem to be the only one in the world having this problem.

It would be kind of anyone pushing me in the right direction, because I don't want see these damn error logs any longer! :(

Thanks.
