In the url box i just put the source of the file right? http://www.example.com/test/example.mp3

Should work fine - sure there are no spaces or something in your filename? I just tried this with an mp3 and everything was ok.

Give me the link to an mp3 on your site and I'll try to link to it.

I have fixed the category bugs reported earlier this week. Please reinstall, as there is also a template fix.

To confirm - if you had left the default permissions forumid as -999 and you edited a category without selecting another forum, then the category would disappear into the big blue yonder.

If you have encountered this problem, you can repair it by running the sql query given by Zhin Jio.

Another thought - what web server software are you using? If you refer to a file on your local server (i.e. skip the http: stuff), then my code looks for a file somewhere below $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. I think this should be set with a correctly configured server.

im confused what you mean andrew..

Your forum is hosted on a site that runs a certain type of web server. Do you know what the server software is? e.g. is is Apache, etc?

apache

OK, then can you give me the *exact* file name you were putting into the URL box?

asksd.mp3

OK, there is a bug in my code, but there are two ways round this.

1) Simply put either a forward slash in front of asksd.mp3, i.e /asksd.mp3, or use a full URL, i.e. http://yoursite/asksd.mp3

2) VB comes pre-configured to handle downloads of bmp, doc, gif, jpg, pdf, png, psd, txt and zip. To handle mp3, you have to go into your VBulletin AdminCP, and set up the proper mimetype for MP3 files. This is done under "Attachments". I'd have to check the right mimetype.

Your easiest option is probably (1) - can you try it and see. Can you also upload the attached file, tryit.php, onto your server, run it and let me know what it prints.
