gr8 hack! any way to import links from "FILES AND LINKS"

Ron1n - great job :). But there seems to be a b ug which makes the "hidden" links no longer hidden, unfortunately.

Nope... sorry.

I am not sure what your talking about. You mean unapproved files appear to be approved? I havent heard of that error before, could you please tell me how it happened?

I was testing this out, and usernames with " ' " in them create errors when injecting the name into the database when they download a file.

*Fixed... left one file modification out*

Ron1n, above you say What issues are you having with that?

I'd sure love to have thumbs/image previews of the downloads available.

First off, I must say this is such a great hack, I love it and so do my members. I primarily use this to host movies, lots of my users have been requesting a comment system, is this been thought of as a feature in an upcoming version? If so, that would be great!

Also when trying to use file names with " ' " in them you also get an sql error. Not sure if that's already been posted.

Is there a way this mod could have unlimited subforums or at least a second level of subbies? I need that second level... <_<

Alright, I have been using VBDownloads or quite some time. Unfortuneately I have a lot of files now. A lack of a search feature is really hurting me.

I just upgraded to the lastest version only to be disapointed in not having a fixed search page.

I havent had time to go through 40ish pages and see if anyone has a hacked a search page in... So, has anyone? And if so, can you link me to the post that shows me how to do it?

Also, whats the easiest way to change the max file size? It wont let me upload files larger than 3mb and I cant find it anywhere in the downloads section of my admincp.

Thanks guys.

I found I was unable to edit links. When I go to manage files there is no method to change the target URL. I had to go into phpMyAdmin and tweak it manually.

I don't know which version I have, but I have been using it about 2 months. Maybe the version could be added to the admin template for vbdownloads or perhaps the release dates could appear next to the version ids on the first post?

Regards,

Matt

good call.

Your version is stated in every file you have on your server and on every txt file you used to install it. In addition, the MAJOR version shows up on the bottom of every page.

Soon.

THe downloads are only limited by your HTTP and PHP configs.

Yes.. but performance would suffer. I want to find a way to do it without hurting performance before i include it.

awesome, thanks.

Everything is going great.. good job on it Ron1n...

I have one problem though.. When I goto upload something I get this error :( :( :(

EXT: .rar
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/dl_add.php on line 53

Hey, something is messed up here.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF, expecting ']' in /home/bf2350/public_html/admincp/index.php on line 567

What's wrong? I entered it correctly.

LINE 567:

construct_nav_group($vbphrase[ if (can_administer('canadminsettings'))'vba_cmps']);

Add one more acceptable file type and it will be ok.

What file are you talking about...

just quickly asking, perhaps there is a post in this thread and i havent seen it, but:

How do I fix to show how many files are in a TOP CATEGORY? I have 4 main top categories and in each top category about 2-4 sub-categories. Those sub-categories show how many files are.. but when you look at the main page of the downloads, the TOP categories appear to have '0 downloads' ... this is confusing to members as it appears like there are no files in the categories when they first come to the main download page. :(

.. any answers?

I forget.

--
how can we juke your memory?! :) ... anyone know the answer? someone else should be having this issue if they are using sub-categories as well.

.. i just cleanly installed vbDownloads 2.0 and 'out-of-the-box' its been like this. :disappointed:

Hello,

I installed this hack seems right but on the navigation all is see is WELCOME. How do i add files?

sorry about the double post. but i just set the usergroup permission and its working fine now. that didnt mention on the instruction :speechless:

can anybody tell me what's the original path for download and upload url on the admincp setting? i changed around and now i seems can't upload...

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/downloads/ fdgdf fdgd [88577].jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/dl_add.php on line 69

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpPn8Rsq' to '/downloads/ fdgdf fdgd [88577].jpg' in /includes/dl_add.php on line 69

Redirecting...

Eventhough it say successfully uploaded but when i click download it doesnt work..

Do i have to create a downloads folder on my forums directory?

sorry if this issue already answered, i might just go n read page by page on this thread to find the answer

just give yourself permission in the admincp

How do you get it to update the File numbers when you have sub categories.. If I have 13 files for example in the subs it still shows 0... instead of 13

One Files 0
> Sub 1 File 3
> Sub 2 Files 10

:ermm:

Thanks for such a great code.

--
i am having the same problem... but noone seems to know the fix ... yet :tired:

Great addon,
"Clicked install"

OK I read through about the last ten pages of posts and didn't see this anywhere.

I can set permissions for admin but for registered users there is no settings that I can see. Is there something I missed?

Jaks

Look in the usergroups.

The file admincp/index.php change the code to:
They word catagories was spelled wrong.... Maybe that is your issue.

There is no such word as "catagories"... it IS spelled categories.

Also, don't ever post in this thread again. Your a lier, a cheater, and a theif. I don't ever want to come in contact with the name T3MEDIA again.

Hmmm.. The problem here isn't where to look. The setting are not there for registered users. They are there for all my other groups. Not only that but now when I add a new group it doesn't show up in the usergroup manager list. I can not edit any usergroups either. I don't get any errors at anytime. It shows everything i do in the log. The new usergroups do show in the Promotion list of usergroups.

I'm not saying it is this hack Ronin. It must be something I messed up do the edits but I looked and can't see where I went wrong. If you could just guide me where I should look that would be a good start.

Thanks Jaks

Listen punk catagories is a common error I am trying to help someone that would have that issue of a white page.
I dont need to rob you kid. Finish school why dont you. I'll post anywhere. I wasnt talking to your decrepid self. Unless you speak of something that actually happend... you make some crap up about me again and see how far I go with it.

Isnt cartoons on? I beg of you to try and slander my name... PLEASE try again.

T3MEDIA and Ron1n,

If you two have a personal dispute please keep it in private.

Do not... put this in some way like I have a problem I was not talking to this guy and I dont even know this fool. So if you read the thread you see he attacked me.
dont get it twisted.

He was talking to both of you. The one that feels addressed by the request should take notice. If you think it don't aplly to you, there is no need to reply, or start calling people a fool.

OK...forgive me...but i have to ask.

The latest file donwlaods, they all seem stuck at 6. I have added the cronjob like the picture, except my server says 'crotab' and doesnt have a space to put the name of the job. Is that ok? I did a '*' for everything except the command ./includes/cron/dl_stats.php

How do I tell which version i have...there have been a few bugs you have fixed, i would like to attempt an upgrade, but think i have just 2.0 as that is what it says on the downloads page.

Is there a known reason the dowloads hack would not work with geeks banner system? at first, banners broke the downloads, now that i try it again to tell you what it does, i cant even get them to show up now. argh

anyways, great script...i just need some help tweaking!

thanks in advance.

oh, also...the box that displays the user permissions...'you are logged in as, you cannot...'

you know, the box on the upper left of the page, well, the click here to register doesnt have a clickable link...at least mine doesnt.

Will you port it over to vB 3.5 ?

Also interested to know if you will.

Nice hack! Installed!

Can't wait for additional features as search, thumbnails, copyright verification, phrases.
Can be search as a part of main forum search too?

BTW> I am having same stat problem emtee (BUG).

When I translated "Submit" button, I couldn't edit... I mean I couldn't submit whatever I changed in "edit".

You maybe have changed the buttons name instead of the text.
