ive fixedi t ;p thanks alot, great script

Good, and good luck!

Anderew, Great mod, It's exactly what i'm looking for to manage my downloads. I do have a small problem. I installed this mod late last night and seem to be running into an error.
http://www.animesanction.net/testsit...tion=jump&id=1 That is the link to the only link i have posted thus far and it just brings up a blank page. It is a local download and it does display the size of the file in the links table.
http://www.animesanction.net/testsit...ocal_links.php

The file type is setup in my admincp.

PM me an admin userid and pwd for your test board, as I can't tell anything without looking a bit deeper

Thanks a bunch for your help. I have PM'd the requested info.

AndrewD,
I've installed this program as a way to offer downloads on my site for registered users. Also as a way to keep people from linking my downloads to their site and chewing up my bandwidth....

The Categories work fine but I'm limited with only 5 downloads showing up per Category. I've tried changing the links_per_page to a higher number but it still only shows 5 links.... Now I have these set up with a forum permission which only allows registered users to view. Do you have any idea on how to fix this?

Here is a link to my Links Directory (File Downloads)

http://team-undercover.com/forums/local_links.php?

I see what you mean - but you've changed the templates? Have you removed the pagenav?

can you also try going into your main admincp/thread display options and change the number of posts per page and see what that does

I change the settings in the admincp options but it's still the same...
This is what links_main looks like.....

And the original I started with...

I have an idea / rant....

It would be great if you could make a type of comment system for the links system. Such as,

when you submit a new link it makes a post in the forum if you want it to with the title of the file you submitted and in the post it will include the description. I think that would be a great idea! ^_^

I'm just dreaming though, that sounds a bit much to ask for. But if you made something like that to add on to this, I would be very happy. =)

I think this is a great idea, it's just a matter of finding the time... Soon!

Having problems and need to uninstall. Can you provide detailed instructions on how to do so and what I need to remove?

Thank you!! :)

Rerun the installation script - it has an uninstall option

Beta version 1.30 uploaded. Please test and report.

Hi,
is possible, that the preview is a flash (swf) or is hard to code?
Thank you
Thomas

I'd rather not get into handling Flash - it's not something I know anything about.

Re-uploaded beta 1.30 - small bug corrected in the error handling code

AndrewD-

Should line 2270 in local_links.php:

be changed to :

No, it should be sequence - :ermm: if you are having problems, have you remembered to run the updated installation script to upgrade your database?

Thanks, you are right. I did run the upgrade.... just against the wrong database. And when I got the error, I searched for the term in the install file but somehow missed it.

So far, no other problems. Haven't tried the import feature.

Thanks for your work.

I just installed this today. After entering about 100 links - many of which are cross-referenced, I discovered a bug with the multiple category assignments.

Entries under a category that are assigned to one or more other categories will appear a distance of at least one page apart from the orignal entry under the category.

For instance:
Link x is assigned to Categories A,B,C

For each category {A,B,C}, link x will appear once for each reference minus one in the tloc. (AxA, AxB; BxA, BxB; CxA, CxB) I assume that the minus one is the occurance of viewed category = catid.

Each occurance will appear a distance of 1 page apart. (I have not found instances where AxA, AxB appear on the same page under A, but will generally appear +1 pages apart.)

http://neroflorida.com/vb/local_link...links&catid=20 <-- a good example. There are 16 links under this category. The category is set to display 10 links per page. The actual number of pages is 3.2 (Should be 1.6 pages)

Thanks,

-Kris

Installed 1.30, so far so good.

Nice Hack..

*clicks install*

How can I enable html in the descriptions?

vb code seems to work though..

HTML in descriptions and titles is deliberately disabled. vb code works properly. Is this a big issue? - it's not that hard to modify

Version 1.35 uploaded for beta test

new:
- what's hot/what's new added to search code and header template
- jump syntax extended to allow action=jump&link="catname/linkname" for direct lookup and jump
- fix to pagination bug with multiple category assignments
- option to display file type icon in linkbit
- included code to build forum list (in case user has opted to turn this off)
- added admin options to force a redirect rather than read/rewrite (lower bandwidth/cpu at cost of exposing link source and no control over headers)

Reports please

Wow, this is looking really good! Can't wait for the next "stable" release....

Great addition to my site. Thanks a bunch. It would be nice if it showed as a proper destination in "who's online." Instead of "Unknown Location."

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Thanks.

To achieve this, you have to modify includes/functions_online.

See https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....10&postcount=1 for instructions. I do mention this in the instructions :)

1.35 works great on 3.0.3, no problems yet

Thanks. I am new to VB and had been wondering how to do this. :D

When i try to upgrade it says it can't find the tables in the database but they are there.

Did you change the table prefix? - the code by default assumes that the tables are called local_xxx. If you change this prefix, you need to edit both local_links.php and local_links_install.php accordingly. See instructions.

Let me know if this doesn't work for you.

Why does it show the source of the download when I set it to a remote site? (it doesn't show when the file is stored on the local website though)? And is there any way to fix this?

No i have changed nothing, if i look in the DB the tables are as you said they should be.

I need to have a look at your board - can you set me up an account with admin privs and PM them to me?

I need a bit more information - what type of file/do you have a mimetype set up for that type on your board admincp/have you set the links admin to use force_redirect?

Basically, this hack provides two ways of accessing downloads.
Either
- the file has a recognised mimetype and (you are running version 1.30 or less) or (you are running version 1.35 and force_redirect=0 on your admin page)
or
- one of those conditions does not apply.

In the first case, the download is handled on the server by successively reading then rewriting chuncks of data to the user.
In the second case, the download is handled by telling the client browser to redirect to the file.

The first hides the source, the second does not (and cannot).

I forgot to add the file type for it (mp3) but now that I have that setup, it's trying to display the mp3 in the browser (coding) instead of prompting for a download.....

I'm running 1.35
I have it set to force_redirect=0

nevermind i figured out how to fix this.... i had to set the content type on the mp3 to the same as that it has on zip, and now it's prompting for download instead of trying to display its coding in the browser....
thanks for the response though :)

I have one error. If a user post a link and i klick on moderate Links the link schows in on the Modpage. But if i klick in the link to moderate him i get this error.

I just PMed you

Thanks for pointing this out - and sorry. There's a bug in local_links.php. Line 1225 in version 1.35 / line 1123 in version 1.30 reads:
It should read
