is it possible to completly remove all data about the uploaders name ?

You already asked this a month ago and I already gave you the answer.

i did but however like i said i want to delete it completly, if i enable the code again the name of the uploaders will show up, i want it to vanished completely from the datatbase
and if i go to manage files i still see the uploaders name

one feature request, can u implent a click box on all files so the staff can easily mass delete the files

let say i got 80 files in one category and i wanna delete 50 files.. it would eat alot of my time deleting one after another if you implent one clickbox it will save alot of time...

You can do that, but then you will need to do a lot of changes (PHP changes next to the the simple template edit) each release of DownloadsII.

We are not going to remove it as it's a pretty logical feature for a downloads mod. Most DownloadsII users are using it.

Remove this part from the downloads_man_bit template:
Two template edits are way easier than removing it also from the database (with database removal, you will still need to do the template edits). If you don't see it, why is it then so important to remove it from the database?

Just removing the uploader id from the database doesn't solve it all (as that would cause database errors without the PHP edits for every new release).

Manage Files can do that? :)
Search for the files you want with the select boxes at the top, then check the files you want and select the action (for example delete) at the bottom select box.

Thanks :)

Actually no, since my hdd got bad sector it was replaced with a new hard disk. surely u remember when i always get the error file down issue lol

Bad news came and they only was able to recover 40 % of my files. So most files on the download page is being there with with dead links. Theres no way i can go to manage my files to delete it. takes even more time . i need to test all files if they work or not before i delete it :(
which is why having click box could save me alot of grief

I understand, but you are asking a lot of stuff and we are creating DownloadsII in our free time.

Always take a backup at least every week if your site is changing quick.
But I thought you were using RAID? So one bad disk can't be a problem (except for RAID0, which isn't a real RAID level) as you still have got a duplicate of all the content.
Also with RAID a good backup system is necessary (for example when you are hacked, then it's changed on all the disks). RAID only protects you from hardware failure.

well i used raid0 actually :/ the company said my server got3ware so i thought it was alright....

hm yeah i know its ur free time... but if u can make some vote or something and see if many ppl want that feature, would u do it?

I don't think that many people have got a hd crash problem like that :)

You can also use phpMyAdmin to do this. The dl_files table is pretty easy to find and to handle manually.

Im not to sure on the instructions for upgrading, i have version 5.0.5 with downloads on it already and stuff, if i wanna upgrade i just upload and replace all the files with the ones in the upload folder from the package? and everything is done?
