I've got the following tables beginning with dl:

dl_cats, dl_comments, dl_downloads, dl_files, dl_images, dl_main, dl_stats, dl_votes

Should I delete them all... install DownloadsII and then import those 8 tables from my backup to get all the stats, categories, downloadtopics back?

I installed this mod on first try - works great!!

But I'm having a problem - the "download button" is not showing up - it's giving me a red x. I even manually re-uploaded the button into the right directory and it still doesn't work.

Please help.

EDIT: Nevermind! I found that the download button link was pointing to my style directory so I moved the button and now it works. Cheers.

Yes :)

But after you installed DownloadsII back again, you should again delete those tables. Otherwise, you can't import them from the backup ofcourse as they already exist then.

Again the Problem that some Categories are sorted from Z to A but not all :(

In Options I disabled sorting by Weight. Whats going wrong?

Another question.

How can I make Previewimage of Files shown bigger? Now they are to small. I searched everywhere but didn?t find the right Template to change Imagesize.

And the last Question...

How can I manage that "normal" Users only can Upload into one specific Categoie for Example "Upload"?

Thanks for Help

I know this might seem like a stupid question...but...

What exactly does "Update Counters" do?

Just refresh all of the download/upload counters?

Ok, I'm trying to upload an 11 mb file and after a few minutes it just stops and goes back to the "add files" screen.

Any ideas?

you need to raise php max upload limit or do it through htaccess

When I press update counters, my forum basically freezes, it fully lags the site, and doesn't do anything.

About which downloads categories on your site are you talking exactly?

Those preview images are PHP generated thumbs, so you can't change them in one of the templates (you can, but it will be ugly as you will be just stretching them). You can change this in downloads.php, but all old thumbs will stay the same as they are already storaged (and there's currently no rebuild feature like for the vBulletin attachment thumbs).

The last thing isn't possible, you can currently only restrict the full category access using the usergroup permissions.

It update ALL counters and that's a pretty heavy query :D
But the speed of it depends from the amount of files, comments, ... you have. On the site I manage, we have 444 files at the moment and the update counters function runs fast (but we are on our own server).

You also don't NEED to run it every week or so. It's to correct database mistakes from previous releases (mainly ecDownloads :p). Now the problem that some things weren't counting correctly sometimes is fixed already.
