there's no "body tag" in the "headinclude" template bro ... this problem resides in the postbit betwen Bira's Hack and this hack ... I just know it.

It might be that Bira's Cotract Post Hack is using the <DIV> tag and I don't know if this is true, but that might as well be the problem since they both are working in the same location.

If someone else have these two hacks workin together ... please reply to this! :)

I bet there is ... only I need to find out how the page is put together to see if that js script (In Bira's Hack) is using the proper method of placing javaScript code within HTML ... or maybe this hack needs to be re-written.

Greets and great hack!

I am having a problem here in that the number displayed in "This has been downloaded x time(s). is not corresponding to the "who downloaded this" users in the pop up box.

As seen by attached file, the hack indicates 19 downloads, however, the popup box indicates only 7 members downloading the file.

Any suggestions please?

Someone may have used one of those download accelerators to download the attachment. These programs use two or more connections to download files. This maybe the reason why your numbers are off ... to test my theory, install a download program (Like Download Accelerator Plus) and download an attachment! :)

Either that or maybe the same people downloaded it more than once. :)

I did try out the theory using GetRight and in my case, I downloaded a newly placed attachment and it only counted one download. Perhaps other download managers work differently but yes, a possibility since there are no external linking in my server log files.

As Boofo suggested aybe people download it twice or also another copy for backup or forget where they put it and download again, others may just download not remembering they downloaded already.

Thanks guys and sorry, should have thought of this possibility.

What im doing this ??
ALTER TABLE user ADD COLUMN downloads TEXT NOT NUL

you must do this query or the pop up window will give your an error

it updates your database with the new string commands

(I am an extreme newbie myself so my wording may be wrong, but my point should still be taken) :)

Ohhh, I like the hack, but this is great to see when I try to open an attachment....
I also get an error trying to open the "Who Downloaded" box.
Something tells me I have to modify both my tables and my queries... Damn these older hacks! :laugh:

Ohhh.... The vBHacker file doesn't run the query itself....

My bad, problem solved. :D
