vb.org Archive - Major Additions

I have just installed this mod and am having troubles with it. I followed the steps right through to "6. Create directories in the 'Categories' menu under the 'Downloads' in your admincp". When I try this all I get is a blank page beside the nav menu. The settings work but the rest (Categories, Import, Downloads) are all blank.

That's pretty strange. First try reuploading all the files to your ftp and re-import the product file (using the overwrite option when importing it).

Anyhelp will really appreciated.

I delete my categories main by mistakes any suggestion for undone it.

You have to edit the navbar template yourself for this. Have a look at the Install-readme.txt file which is included in the package.

That's not a problem. You just need to create some new ones using the category admin of DownloadsII in the AdminCP.

Sorry, I missed your question because I thought it was a tutorial only and didn't read the rest of the message. I didn't ignored you intentional, you have to do more 3vil things to get me angry :p

You can find the url HTML code of the panel bits in the downloads_panel_bit template. The $url variable in it is generated by /includes/class_downloads.php (just search in it for $url, it's there multiple times for the diferent top lists).

Thank you for this mod superb *clicks install*. :)

I have one issue though. I see that you can insert images, which is eye-candy! However, is there a way to place the category name under 'Description' and just leave an image in the 'Category' section?

I have started something similar Here, but there's just too much white space surrounding the icon!

Also, how to replace the default download icon, when there is not an image in its place?

Once again, superb Hack :) (I'm sure you already knew that since it was MOTM, hehe)

You have to remove the <br /><br /> before the img HTML code in the template to remove the white space ;)

It's placed in the buttons folder of the vBulletin style you are using, so it depends from the style the user have selected. So you need to upload it to your /forums/styledirectory/buttons/ folder as download.gif.

Righteous! One last, quick question though. Is there any way to get rid of the white space to the right of the image? You can see it Here

Thanks

I already added this to v6, next to the existing custom titles for better SEO. It's done using a plugin as we want to avoid modifying any templates.
But meta tags aren't that important any more for SEO. Google is looking more at your inbound links etc. for their PageRank system.

i dont see a v6 release, it is important those meta tags because otherwise all my dowload links will apeare as suplemental results in a google search.

hi craiovaonline, maybe you can try this for seo your downloadsII mods

This post had been posted in vbseo.com too, but its need more help from the author, maybe this can be using in next downloadsII release

So your title, meta description and meta keywords will be like this:

Your file name, Category name

To do that replace $headinclude in downloads template with this full code:

HTML Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=$stylevar[charset]" /> <meta name="keywords" content="{$dl->title}<if condition="$dlcustomtitle">, $dlcustomtitle</if>,$cat_value" /> <meta name="description" content="{$dl->title}<if condition="$dlcustomtitle"> - $dlcustomtitle</if>,$cat_value" />



$style[css]

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script> <if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script></if>
