@RSJelle: You forgot my question. Seems now more users with IE6 having problems downloading or better said that downloads work but will be downloaded incomplete c.q. with errors.

I didn't forget it. I answered in this post (after the last quote) :)

this is a noob question but how can i go about doing: Change the permissions on the directory called 'downloads' making it writeable and executable (chmod 777)

as well as: Create directories in the 'Categories' menu under the 'Downloads' in your admincp

everything else is working fine. thanks

You need to chmod the downloads folder (which is one of the files/folders you need to upload before to your forums ftp) to 777 permissions with your FTP-program, so PHP can upload files to it. Chmod is explained for example here and here.

Because for some odd reason.. I'm unable to upload .wmv or .avi.. and i've edited it for these file extentions.. but it just loads for a long time and then it makes the page reload after its done and gives me blank boxes as if i never typed anything to be uploaded...

actually.. is there a way i can edit it so.. files that are large can be uploaded? i think that's the problem

Can I get some help there? ^^;

PHP has got an upload limit, that's probably the problem. It's a common issue :)
If you have full server access, you can edit your php.ini (PHP configuration file) and edit the size there manually. If you are on a shared server, you can put a .htaccess file in your forums directory (where you can find downloads.php) with the following content:

Code:

php_value upload_max_filesize 25M

php_value post_max_size 25M

Ofcourse you can change the 25MB to what you want. It overrides the php.ini setting.

oknow its damn odd, remember when i said my whole category is gone? well it seems some more members are downloading inside that lost category, i did the repair on admincp but it doenst wrok, all of my files is their but not visible can you just pleaseeee check it on my site...

To get around the blank screen, zip the files and then upload then via FTP. Then add the new file in the downloads menu and input the url.

I was having the same exact problem as you, zipping the files and uploading with FTP fixed the issues. My members are happy they can download my movies, and I am happy that they can.

Just so everyone will know, my movies are made by me. I have a youtube channel with over 100 of my own videos - so my site is not hosting any warez.

I have people sign up just to download files, this add-on extends my website by another whole layer.

Thank you Cyber Ranger, this is a great add-on!!!

If it's a question about the DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On, you better ask it there to keep things together. But I don't think that add-on can display the uploaded images in the newly created threads? Only if you use the IMG button to set them in the file description, they will be transfered also to the thread, but that's logical (then you need to use an image resizer like this one for your forum).

Where could I find that code in the php.ini or downloads.php?

I'm still looking for it. x.x

Edit 1: All I found was this

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
file_uploads = On ; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads
;upload_tmp_dir = ; temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not specified)
upload_max_filesize = 200M ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files

I changed it from 2M to 200M

That still didn't make a difference.. this was in the php.ini

Edit 2: I've found the post_max_filesize now.. and i made that 200M.. im going to try it now and see what happens

That didn't fix my problem. ;.;

I have a strange problem, after turning on my vbseo custom rules, written by vbseo stuff, specially for downloadsII plugin. I got an error "invalid file id" and "invalid category id", when i open any file or any category...
But really several days ago thet rules worked good
What can i do?

thanks for the reply :)

Q1: i'm having another program. i did everything in the installation instructions and i went to upload a test file and it wouldn't let me upload a flash file or a wma file. i allowed those types of file extensions in the file manager but still nothing :S

Q2: is there any way i can link the Top 5 uploaded files onto my homepage? thanks a lot.

llol yeah i often get blank page aswell when i import files if its big one,,,

i installed it but there is no option in ACP side bar options to make categories.....
