I try since 2 days & nights to put in the downloads.php + DownloadsII templates, the "$file[name]" and "$cat_value" into the download and category URLs.
But without success :(

It's hard to find the places which i have to change....

I will do this for better seo! I want to rewrite the urls with filename + catergoryname!
A lot of DownloadsII user are waiting for this in vBSEO forum, i hope CyberRanger, you can help us; which part of DownloadsII code we have to change...

thx

has anyone thought of making a vbadvanced module so the latest uploads and most popular could be listed in the homepage?

I fixed it and tested it, have a look at the attachment (I missed some = characters in the new line code) :)
Also note that you have to add +1 to the $countnumber you choose. If you want 3, then you set it to 4 :D

I don't know, but we are working freely on it and there's no donation system or anything like that :)
So ... the copyright is the only bit of attribution. In v6 the "Based on ecDownloads 4.1 ? Ronin" will disappear also (full recode, so no old Ron1n code any more), so it will become a bit smaller :D

This changes automatically with the vBulletin file size calculation function. If it's a small file, it uses bytes, if it's a bigger, it displays the size in kilobytes, if it's "very" big, it uses megabytes, ...

So, that's not really a DownloadsII problem, but a problem with the vBulletin promotion system :D
Are you using the usergroups promotion system, as you are talking about usertitles, which is a different thing (and has nothing to do with the usergroups)?

Indeed, this seems to be slightly changed to:

That's why we added already the custom titles :)
I'm also looking a bit at the SEO of my sites, but I don't think the description meta tag is a duplicate content problem (as the page content is different, that's the real point). But I also already thought about a custom description for categories and files. This shouldn't be a big problem to add like Brent said.

No ETA :D
It's really difficult and for me, my exams are starting next week (two weeks of fun, afterwards a sea of time to code) :(

It's a bit difficult as you have to pay for vBSEO, so we can't test anything (and we don't know its code at all to integrate stuff). But the variables you mention should work fine ... I also don't think you have to change anything inside of downloads.php, you have to add this to the vBSEO rewrite rules.

There's already one (have a look at the add-ons listed in the first post): https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=110122 :)

your post above on the vbseo side of things, i would like to extend on this.

there is a few things that need to be modified for better seo for downloadsII while using vbseo

1. edit downloads.php
2. edit a couple/few threads
3. vbseo re write rules.

Now over at vbseo there is a thread which i pointed out in my 2nd last post in this thread, that includes the vbseo re write rules. and includes details (not the best nor easiest) was at doing 1 and 2.

I am fairly sure you can modify downloadsII so it will still function the same way for normal users, but will also be albe to detect if vbseo is running, and use more vbseo friendly urls.

see this thread on how to modify hacks/mods to be better for vbseo, which is a huge benefit for many users.

hope you consider this. Thanks.

don't know if this has been answered before but is there any way we can have update at the latest files after editing a file ? I've seen that there is a date table but I don't know if this can be used for this case.

If not, will the new version supoort something like this or do I have to make new entry everytime there is a new version of a program and I want to inform the users ?

Thanks in advance and for this wonderful mod

Hi I got two questions:

If I use the import function the 'latest files' info doesn't change? If I download one it does go into the 'most popular' info box but the latest file doesn't update itself with the import function.

Is there a way to get it to update the latest files box?

2nd question:

Is there a way with the code that the downloaded files could be more Download Manager friendly :P If I try and use mine it downloads a downloads.php file.


Still the 2nd problem isn't that bad and I do belive you have one of the best download mods :)

Thanks
Clem

@hornstar1337: thanks for the info, we will look into this :)

The date field is for the date the file was added. At the moment there's no last edit date, but this is already added to the v6 database scheme.

1. You can update all stats boxes manually using the "Update Counters" navigation link.
2. This problem was already mentioned in the past. We could look into the vBulletin attachments code as I thought download manager support was added there.

I went to Update Counters but I can't find anything concerning updates of states. Is there another name for it?

Sorry for being a pain :erm:

Okey.. thats work. But, there now Number left from the screen... After 6 comes 2. The Number are not interest. You can delete them :D

Attachment 65098

AND.. the Thumbs can be a little bit larger.

Thanks for nice support....
