hi all how i can do someting to registered user can download the file but they can't see downloads.php how i can do that?

I apologise if i missed this is the thread somewhere...

I have been zipping up some mp3's an uploading them. but when they are downloaded they keep coming up as invalid archive.

I checked the file in the directory and downloaded it bia smartftp and the file is ok. but for some reason its not working when i download it through the system.

any ideas?

All "Title/File Name" has truncated,how to set up more long "Title/File Name" to some number limitation.

I think you forgot to add the attachment :p

Like I said, PHP coding mistakes don't create random errors :)
I've searched a lot, but I can't think at all such things also.

For usergroup determinated adds, just use this code in your DownloadsII (and any other vBulletin) templates:
Just list the usergroup ids (in this case 5 (super mods) and 6 (admins)) to hide the adds for.

Using the usergroup permissions you can list the categories a user can see/download from and what other permissions you give OR the categories a user can't see/...
There are no advanced per category usergroup permissions yet.

This will be possible with v6, which is in progress (I'm cutting down the new features which take too much time to accomplish at the moment). There will be separate edit/delete usergroup permissions and they are also separated a second time by file owner (edit/delete own files) and all files (edit/delete all files).

So they won't see downloads.php?do=file&id=xxx&act=down as the source of the download?
It should show something as the source of the download, so we think this is pretty safe as you can control the downloads using the usergroup permissions. We aren't showing the location of the file in the downloads directory to avoid hotlinking.
If you are linking a file, the link is shown to the downloader as it isn't on your own server then normally.

Hmm, someone else also had this problem with the previous release (5.0.5), but only in Internet Explorer. I changed the download headers to a method IE also likes and his problems are solved now. So be sure you have the newest DownloadsII files (downloads.php mostly in this case), version 5.0.6, on your FTP. Also give it a try in another browser (Firefox or something like that if you aren't using that browser already).

Then you can try to open downloads.php
Find
Replace with
So you undo the 5.0.6 change to avoid IE corrupting zip files (on some servers in some rare cases, don't know why yet).

Then give it another try with the problem browser(s). Please give some feedback on what a different browser does and it the change helps to fix it for all browsers.

There's a database limitation in our database scheme. The name field has got a 50 (varchar) characters limitation at the moment, which should be enough for normal use -I think- (if it's too long, you probably go outside the layout boxes etc.).

If you can work with phpMyAdmin, you can open the dl_files table of your vBulletin database, find the name field and put a higher varchar value instead of the current maximum of 50 characters.

no you didn't get it some of website i see they have this download hack but they put the link of --> downloads.php?do=file&id=xxx&act=down in thread and after anyone want go to downloads.php the page is white and they can't see the page ok?

Thanks RS_Jelle. Working great.
Hope on next release can added this features,so we dont need to go to phpmyadmin to change it :D

I'm looking for a download mod for our vBulletin installation, and this one's close, but it seems to be missing a couple of things we'd really like to have:

-Private downloads: Allow moderators to assign a single user to specific downloads and make them private to only that customer. This would be useful for license key downloads.

-Configurable license agreements: Ability to create and select from a list of license agreements. When an agreement is assigned to a download, it's presented to the user when a download of that item is attempted and the user must 'Accept' the agreement before the file is served.

As a previous Joomla user, I became spoiled by DocMan. Now that I'm using Drupal/vBulletin, I can't find a download module that does the same thing.
If DownloadsII is already capable of the features we're looking for, or if anybody has a suggestion for implementing it, please let me know.

Thanks,
Nate

I am looking for those exact docman features and would definitely be interested into a pointer on how to implement them.

Same error after updating vbulletin and reinstalling downloadsII . Does someone have a hint how to fix it ?


But thus changes are kept...

How to correct this trouble?[/QUOTE]

Hi all,

i've tried to look at the readme and checking various posts, but there is no instructions on how to put the download tab in the status bar on the forum (i mean next to usercp, member list ecc ecc).

Is it possible? Just to understand how to link the download.php to my users.
I'm trying at the same time to configure even on vbadvanced :p

Thanks,

Poeta
