ofcourse i did ask there at first, but no answer for 3 weeks now . ( http://www.vbseo.com/f23/downloads-i...9/index14.html )

Great support for some piece of software you pay that mucn for isn't it?
That's why I never bought it.;)

This mod is the very best mod I have ever seen, and should have been incorporated into vB right off.

One question: occasionally I have a member tell me he has not downloaded in more than a day or two, but still gets the Daily Download limit exceeded message. I'm not sure why that is happening.

The usergroup Registered members is set up like this:

This is the maximum MB that a user can upload. Set this to -1 for there to be NO limit. -1

This is the maximum MB that a user can download in one day. Set this to -1 for there to be NO limit. -1


This is the maximum number of files that a user can download in one day. Set this to -1 for there to be NO limit. 5

Use strict daily download limits. If set to "No", a user will only receive receive a download limit reached message if BOTH the MB and file per day limit are reached. If set to "Yes", exceeding either limit will trigger the download limit reached message. Yes

Download DELAY: Leave at -1 for this group to inheret the default value! If the user is in multiple groups that have the over-ride set above -1, the HIGHEST value will be the delay setting. -1



What do you think? Should I change the Download DELAY to something like 30 ?

Tried this. It gives me internal error messages when I try to upload files. Its the only thing in the .htaccess

nvm

Hi there,
I had ecdownloads 4.1 installed and moved to a new server (vServer). The forum ran just fine, however the download section was broken. I had used ecdownloads 4.1 and it gave me:

http://www.stonyroad.de/forum/downloads.php?do=cat&id=1
Fehler 330 (net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED): Unbekannter Fehler.

I then tried to use DownloadsII, which resulted in exactly the same issue. What can I look for? mySQL collation? PHP setting?

Tried with Opera, gives strange output. Before you moved to the new server, was GZip compression enabled in vBulletin? Also this seems to be a common issue on Chrome.

Try to disable GZip compression in Admin CP:
vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Cookies and HTTP Header Options > GZIP Compression Level
or, if you're using the german localization:
vBulletin-Einstellungen > vBulletin-Einstellungen > Cookies und HTTP-Header > HTML-Ausgabe mit GZIP komprimieren

Looks good, the error is gone!
However i have a unconfigured installation right now and can only look into that tomorrow. Will keep you posted!

I moved my site to a new host and have placed my VB in a sub-folder called: mmb. The site works fine but all the downloads give this error why I click the download button:

All my downloads are still in the download folder.

Do I need to change the download url in the settings?

It is currently set to: ./downloads/

If anyone can help please.... THANKS!

Do you have the proper permissions, I believe it should be 777, set on the downloads folders?

Yep first thing i did was fix the permissions of the download folder and sub-folders to 777.

So I was installed at my old host at: www.old.domain.com (no sub folder).

Now im on new host installed at www.new.domain.com/mmr (with a sub-folder).

What do I need to fix here??? I need this back up and running on my site asap.

It says the path is wrong or file can not be found. Do you put the downloads folder in /mmr/downloads too? And there is no forum content in the root directory (public_html) from the forum? Not using vbAdvanced or something?

UGGG FALSE ALARM!!! Problem Solved!!!

What the problem was: I am moving the site for a client and they did not provide me with the right backup of their downloads folder. So they were missing over 300 files! That is why it was not working and giving errors.

SUGGESTION: When a download file is missing (not in the downloads folder) it should NOT breaks the entire site. The site goes to a white screen loosing VB and VBA theme and just spits out the error message. Is there any way to fix that?

If it splits out the error message, there is a way to see the original filename. One problem to solve this is to download the file again and rename it to exactly what it was, or the other way is to "delete" it from the downloads database using the mananger.

I don't know any other solution until now.

Hi i know this might sound crazy but i have lost the link to manage files could someone post the url to manage files

thanks

You should be able to reach the manage files section from within downloads.

The direct link should be like this:

It would be nice to have a VBA module designed to house the Download error message to prevent the entire site from breaking...

this is my url Downloads II url
http://www.mknexusonline.com/forums/downloads.php

now i want to install Downloads II on my below url

http://www.mknexusonline.com/downloads.php
Is this possible?

What do you mean by lost it? If you edited the template either revert it or compare to the original version to find out what you removed, otherwise you're likely trying to look at the page without the appropriate permissions to see the link.

Sure if you're willing to re-write a bunch of the code to update file paths.

What is "Update Counters" supposed to do? When I clicked it, it zero'ed out the number of files listed in each category. The files are still there, but the total says 0. How can I get the totals back?

I've had DownloadsII installed for a long time and am now enabling it because php 5.5 killed my postnuke Updownloads site. I recently bought the pro version of dragonbyte's vBDownloads and DownloadsII is still much better for me, for a lot of reasons.

Hope somebody might know edits I can make, I successfully changed the thumbnail sizes to 150 and have searched the forums. I'm running 3.8.9 because vbulletin lost over 3.7 GB's and 10 years of attachments due to a upgrade bug to 4.2.3 and some have suggested that I should just stay in 3.8.9 due to it's flexibility.

All of my downloads have a screenshot and thumbnail attached and I love how this program actually has a link in the category view for thumbnails (unlike vBDownloads Pro), it's a direct download link but I'd also like to add a link to the full size screenshot from the category view. It seems weird to click on a thumbnail and not get the big image but keeping a direct download link in the category view is very important when you have a lot of downloads.

On the details page when you click on the thumbnail, the full sized image is opened in the same window and users have to go back, I'd like this link to open in a new window or tab.

I've searched but received mixed results, Is there anyway to add the image or screenshot at the same time as uploading the file? This would save me and my users hundreds of hours if it's possible.

I have a user who claims some of the files he has uploaded are missing. Is there any way for another user to remove/delete a download file? I though only the admin can do that. In the Usergroup section for DownloadsII Permissions, there is no option to allow users to delete files.... Any ideas what could be happening here?

So, it appears that the only moderator powers that can be used are Manage files, which allows a moderator to pin/unpin, approve/unapprove a file.

So, who can actually delete a file???

There are 4 usergroup permission settings that might apply and have been set incorrectly. They are in the DownloadsII Permissions section and are the right near the bottom:

1. Can Edit Own Files
2. Can Edit All Files
3. Can Delete Own Files
4. Can Delete All Files

Either of the first or third would let a user edit/remove their own files, while the second or fourth would let another user edit/remove another user's files.

Thanks, squidsk, for the reply, Hmm.... mine version does not have

1. Can Delete Own Files
2. Can Delete All Files

My options in the Usergroup Manager are

• Can View Files
  
• Can Download Files
  
• Can Rate Files
  
• Can Comment on Files
  
• Can Manage Own Comments
  
• Can Manage All Comments
  
• Can Upload Images
  
• Can Link to Files
  
• Can Upload Files
  
• Can Avoid Moderation Queue
  
• Can Manage Moderation Queue
  
• Can Edit Own Files
  
• Can Edit All Files
  
• Can View Disabled Download Section

Maybe I have an old version?? :p


I learned that the Edit All Files allows the member to delete them, as well as stick and approve.

Do you know if the file in the Downloads folder is actually deleted when a file is "deleted", or does it merely delete the page, but leave the file orphaned?

Sorry those are from the vb4 version of the mod, I actually thought this was the vb4 thread when I answered.

As for if the file is actually deleted you'd just need to look in the folder for the name of the file as stored in the db, which depending on your settings, it may have a number prepended to the name.

Excellent, thanks!

I never understood why the number of the file in the downloads folder is not the same as the url on the downloads page....

I will probably have to add a test file, find it, delete the page and see if the file goes bye-bye.

thanks again for answering my dumb questions. We will probably move to the vBDownloads mod, since it appears to be actively supported.

The number in the file name is a version number, though I'm not entirely sure how that version number is generated.

Is this still being supported?

With vb 4.2.5 and PHP 7.1 all work fine.

When I access the page I get an error at the top above the header, I get an error when downloading, and I get an error while accessing the page on mobile. You will see in the attachments below.

ITs possible your style not responsive or compatible with this....

Find and remove & from line 144 of downloads.php

THIS WAS IT. Thank you SO MUCH. You?re a damn life saver. :)

Anyone know as to why it will only sort alphabetically? I tried sorting by weight and it completely ignores it.

Hear ye, hear ye,

Has anyone upgraded to 3.8.11 with php 7.1 and used Downloads II successfully? Are there any tweaks needed? Any and all insights will be greatly appreciated!

It's on my list to do in the next weeks.

Cool. I am getting as much info as I can before I start. Going to buy a fresh license to get access to 3.8.11 and try it on a different server first, see if I can get it working before going live on our main server. I will share everything I discover here, that Downloads II mod is the key to our entire existence. Crazy that vBulletin doesn't continue to support 3.8x, we sure would love it.

ok, I will give you a feedback.

I'm going to forge ahead, will be setting up new server today.
Then migrate sites to it, then download and run the 3.8.11 installer, and see if it will run vb 3.8.11 on the new server.

Couple of questions: should the new server be set up with php 7.1 to begin?
What version of MySQL ?
