Thanks for the info Jedi. I never saw the [img] tag in the row of bbcode buttons so for some reason I assumed it was not available. After testing it it does in fact work. Thanks.

As for the downloads directory thing, thanks as well. I can work around it with .htaccess, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Cheers

This has worked great for me in the past but I just tried to upload a file to the Downloads database and it gives me this error message: Fields marked in RED must be filled in!

But there are no fields in red. When the error screen appears, my Description field and "Choose File" designation are empty. The File Name and Author information remains. I am running Downloads 5.0.8 on vBulletin 3.7.4.

I just tried overwriting the files and reimporting the .xml file but I have the same result. I checked permissions on the /downloads folder and it is 777. I checked the ec_tmp folder and it is 755 but it will not allow me to modify it.

Thanks for any assistance. I hate to lose this. :)

View the "It doesn't work with GARS?!" part in the first post ;)

Thanks! I'm sorry I missed that. :o

I did a search, and maybe I'm just not seeing it, but is there a way to replace the comment (not description) editor with the quick reply editor?

I think that would require a fair bit amount of modification.

For the Most Downloaded & Most Recent files is it possible to change these depending on the category the user is viewing?

Eg: if the user was looking at a freeware section then only the files in that category would show up on the Most Downloaded & Most Recent files.

Is it possible?

I did all of the steps add after I imported the .xml document in, I noticed it is only showing up in the vbulletin options, doesnt have the link like it should admincp-downloads, etc

also when I try to access the main page to see if it is working I get the following error?

Warning: require_once(./includes/class_downloads.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/downloads.php on line 135

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/class_downloads.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/freni322/public_html/forum/downloads.php on line 135

nevermind I figured it out.... duh! :}

I was hacked last month and after that I had changed the downloads folder to 755 of course it no longer while it is chmoded like that. But I just found that there was in fact 2 files used to hack my site in the downloads folder. one called sql.php and the other called moj.php both containing base64 code (encrypted)

I am a little worried to change the folder back to 777 incase I get hacked again. Is there anything i should change on my server to ensure these php files in this folder will not function if they are able to upload them again?
