That's very difficult, mostly because of the different audio and video standards. v6 will introduce an extensions admin so you can choose the sended headers just like with the attachments. That can help you to point the browser to a correct media player instead of a download window.

Just use the "linked file" input field :)

I'm putting this problem on the todo list. The most easy way is an option -I think-, so you can choose if you want to allow it or not.

ok
thx 4 info

hi i know you are working on a new v6 but i really need to get the current version to work! for all files that are uploaded i get 'file not found' but all linked files work ok

everything is as you said it should be ie ./downloads/ is in the forum directory and the uploaded files appear there just try to access them gives me a error every time...

just fyi i am using zoints SEO plugin on vb 3.6.4 to rewrite my urls, however this should not affect the downloads system or would it?

in order to get things to work temporarily i have re-added all the downloads as http links to the files in the downloads folder - not a perfect solution as new uploads wont work unless the admin does everything

how can i de-bug this?

Strange. Can you pm me your url and a login/password of a test account on your site (just a normal user account)? Then I will take a look at it.

Hey RS - How much longer do you have left on your holidays? how has everything been going with the new release? Do you still think you are on schedule for a release in the next week?

and, will vbseo links be better handled in this new version, or will vbseo owners still need to edit the code, so vbseo will work better with it?

Thanks.

also, i have got simple_tops.php displayed on my homepage which you posted several pages back now http://www.gamerzneeds.net/index.php

I was just wondering how i would show up the last 10 instead of 4.

Thanks.

In the admincp -> Downloads -> Settings -> Number of "Latest Files" to Display. That will also change the number shown on your downloads.php pages. Sorry, but right now, there isn't a way to have the number shown different for the two pages.

Thanks, will there be a choice in the next release?

The "tops" information is stored in the database so it can quickly be retrieved. I need to check with Jelle to see if he is moving it to the datastore. Maybe we can configure two fields for each top but right now I doubt it will be an option we add.
