Thanks for the reply. I will try what you said although at first glance I am tihinking this was what I was doing to no avail but perhaps I was overlooking something. In any event- thanks again.

I have a problem. I'm able to upload files but unfortunately, the downlaoded files are corrupted. I have tried to upload a ZIP file, then I download it and I cannot unzip it anymore because it's corrupted. The downloaded file is always 1KB.

Please advice.

What are the permissions on your downloads and downloads/ec_tmp folders?

Thanks for that, got confused as its called something completly different as I would class it as

Thanks again

donwloads is 777 and downloads/ec_tmp is 755. I try to change the permission of downloads/ec_tmp to 777 but I wasn't able to cos it says in my FTP utility "Bad file descriptor"
I'm using 3.6.1

I have noticed that the check if the users has exceeded the max daily download amount is in effect for the linked files too. INMHO this is of no use and annoying for the users ;)

westpointer: any plans to incorporate downloadsII with vbbux? to charge per download and or pay to the submitter...

would be awesome. was requested before but ron1n never was interested.

let me know.

I would delete the ec_tmp directory, then re-create it with permissions of 777.

At first glance that does seem silly BUT many sites use the linked files to link to large files that have been added locally via ftp. So, it's not truly a remote site. I think what I need to do is add some type of check for the domain. If the domain is different from the forum domain, then bypass the daily download amount or at least make that an option.

Jelle and I need to have a long virtual meeting about adding this and the general direction of the mod. Overall, I think it's an excellent idea that we could probably incorporate quickly by adding a few hooks in downloads.php.

Good point, I agree this is a more flexible solution from just disabling the check ;)

What I did is to rename the ec_tmp directory because I can't delete it. Then I reccreate an ec_tmp directory with 777 permissions. However, problem still occurs. The downloaded file is always corrupted, only 1KB or less in size.

I tried to see the file in my host and downloaded it via FTP and it's OK. Why is it that when I download via this module in vBulletin it's always corrupted?

Does anyone have the same problem or just me? Can you please share it how to fix this one.

The different file I tested was in ZIP format.

That is odd by itself. What type of server are you on? Is it Windows based?
Because the file you download via this module is a file that's been copied from the downloads folder to the ec_tmp folder and renamed in the process.
If you are willing to PM me your server url along with an user account and password for FTP access I'll take a look. Otherwise, I don't know what else to tell you. I know of no one else with this problem.

I got a little problem now since upgrading to the newest version.
At first I could approve files by the "manager file" setting, selecting approve and that was it (use the drop-down menu). But this does not work anymore.
Now i have to click every file which needs approval and approve it in the download section then.

Normally you should be able to approve multiple files by selecting multiple files (die vinkjes er in zetten) and click "go" below. But standaard the setting next to go is [pin] and [categorie] which takes care nothing gets approved.

So like how it's now, you cannot select multiple files for multiple categories to approve at once. So this does not work either.

Can both be fixed? Or at least the drop-down menu approval option which worked fine before?

Westpointer when you get some time can you look at these.

The major one would be the black table background, thx

alright I am sure this has been asked but i didn't see in when i was taking a quick look through the 31 pages in this thread (WOW)

anyways will this work with vb version 3.6.1?

if no, is there any know modification or code to make it work?

yes it does

There is no index.html or index.php in the download directory!

download the newest version it shouldnt say that cause they put one in there but if there is not your missing that file. search the thread its been answered 200 times

ok I just installed it two days ago and I looked and the file index.html is in there DownloadsII-5.0.3 is what was installed along with ecdownloads add on

Not sure but maybe the URL fot it to find the download folder is wrong

root/forums/downloads

and yes the folder is chked 777

vb ver. 3.6.1

I understand what you say about it was not in there before

ok I will answer myself.

Dont forget to add the trailing / to forums/downloads/

Example:
/home/server/public_html/yoursite/forums/downloads/


ok it was not answered, but it is now post count 1-199

admincp/Downloads/settings/Download URL

Thanks

:-) awesome. sounds great. need to learn how to make some mods of my own. not really familiar with the hook system yet, but a pretty good php coder.

Can you set this for 1 particular forum even if its a sub forum?

I don't understand your question. DownloadsII doesn't have any direct connect to any sub-forum. It's a stand alone system that uses vb's usergroups and permissons.

Westpointer could you have a look at my question in post #454 about the approvals please?

The comment box for each file is breaking my style because it's too big. How can I make it smaller?

If you have long filenames, use the edit option and put spaces in the filenamediscription, that worked for me.

Huh?

I'm talking about the Comment Editor box in each Download Page.

Oops sorry, then it's something else then I had in mind.

Can anyone make a module for vBa CMPS. I just want like latest files and how many downloads.

Thanks

there is one already you need to use the search button more.

I've attached a screenshot showing the problems I'm having. If someone would be able to help, it would be much appreciated!

1. What template would I need to edit to remove these images?

2. Biggest one. How would I center this inside the static forum width so it doesn't spill over the edge?

3. What template would I need to edit to change this from "tcat" to "thead"?

Thanks a million!

David

That's the same problem I'm having, with the Comment Box breaking the template -- it works fine with the Comments disabled.

And not even that is necessary, he can click the "add-on" link in the right top of this thread, just below the download of downloads II.
It can't be any easier.:)

Just one more question. I have catagory Games>First Person Shoot> Online
and if I got to the main page I see Games with the subcatagory First Person Shooter and Online. How do I get it so that it just says First Person Shooter?
Example http://www.rzgamers.com/downloads.php

I wish there's release for vB 3.6.1. Edited: It turns out that this release also works on 3.6.1! Yah

PM sent with the needed info.

I also encounter another problem. When I upload, there's no file that will be copied to ec_tmp folder.

Your best option may be to set "Hide sub-categories on the main page?" to "Yes" (that's in admincp -> Downloads -> Settings). That won't give you exactly what you want but it will give you a look like this: http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/downloads.php?
