Anyone can help?

I ran into an issue...one of my users is trying to upload a .cfg file...I have 'cfg' listed in the allowed file types but they keep getting this error:

All my settings are correct, I can duplicate the issue...I'm curious to why that file type won't upload...

It would be nice if there was a mod of this that used the existing attachment system too.

for example:
-the filetype permissions are the same for attachments as they are for downloads
-when uploading an attachment for a thread or post you can select which catagory the attachment should be (would go in default catagory otherwise)

itd be a cool way of being able to search and browse through all the files on the forums.

either way, nice.. keep it up and i enjoy it!

please keep me updated because as soon as this functionality is added I WANT IT!

Hi, great MOD. I see there is a setting in the Usergroups to allow access to categories... it wants 1,2,3,4 etc. But how am I suppose to know which is 1 or 2 or whatever? I go to the categories and edit them, but there is no number associated with the category. When I list out the categories to edit, a drop down shows them, but no number. Is that what I am suppose to go by? I have a couple of categories in the middle of this list that I only want certain Usergroups access, but not everyone... and I can't establish what their category number is...

Hover your cursor over the link to the category and look at the status bar at the bottom of your browser, it should show you the category number there.

Or click on 'Category Tree'.

sorry for my english but i'm italian.

spiders google yahoo .... see the file upload in this mod???

Hi,

I have a problem and I was wondering if anyone knows a way round it. :)

I'm on a shared hosting and my upload limit is 10MB. But I have unlimited ftp upload.

Is there anyway that I could upload a large fine via ftp and still have it showing in the downloads section?

For example,

Could I upload a 1MB file.
FTP to my server, replace the rar file in /downloads with the larger file but keep the same filename.

Would the new file be downloadable on the forum?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Glen

In that case your host does not allow you to make these entry's in .htaccess files. You have to contact your host to increase the upload filesize.

@Iettafune: Yes, if you allow guests viewing the files it will. You can also use the vbSEO Google/Yahoo sitemap generator, it has a downloads.php addon in there. This sitegenerator mod can be used stand-alone so you don't need vbSEO installed.

Probably you can but there is a better solution. Create a separate directory on your webserver, for example http://www.yoursite.com/large/ or something like that.
FTP the 10mb file into that directory.
Then go to your "add file" option in Downloads II and use the "link to file" option.
The only thing you have to do is to add the filesize in bytes yourself, but that's easy.
Suppose your file is 10,2mb then do 10,2x1024x1024 and you should have the size in bytes, but leave of the numbers after the komma, so if the output is 10695475,2 just put 10695475 as the filesize. It works great.
When you have to delete the file, remember to delete them from downloads II and also from that directory because linked files are not deleted automatically (ofcourse).

where is this addon???


ps: this mod run on 3.7.0??

so...no one has any ideas on the issue I am having?
