@ RS_Jelle
ok.. the style is ok.. but not the screens in the row. There are more than 5 :D

I send you the dl.php. Maybe it's better, you correct it in the file. Maybe, there comes bugs from the changes...

Thanks :)

Sorry for the late late late reply.

No they are not, but If I try to upload a new file, they do show on the import, even the recently uploaded files shows their clone

It looks to me like you are using your normal downloads folder as your mass import folder too. It needs to be a different folder.

oh, didn't know that, I'll change it then

edit:

wait a minute, that will duplicate files also 'cause I'll have the import folder video, and the downloads folder video :S isn't?

or DownloadsII will move the file?

Note too that once you import the files, you should then delete the files in the import folder (using the program of your choice) so you don't accidentally mass import them again. The import program does not automatically delete them from the import folder.

I am getting the error:

I have this set as allowed in the config: zip rar tar gz

what am I doing wrong?

When you get the error message, what type of file are you trying to add? You need to make sure the extension of that file is in the list of allowed files.

oh ok, it's just I thought the import and download folder could be the same, so I don't have to go through that extra step.

thanks for your help and product, what I like the most about it, is that is really user friendly :)

keep the good work

I searched but didn't find an answer so sorry if this was already covered. I need to be able to download large pdf files (100MB-200MB). When I try it downloads for a small period of time and then says it's finished but it's not the whole file. Is this an issue of needing to edit the php.ini file and if so can you ell me what to edit? I'm on a Windows server running cgi if that makes a difference.

I'd check your php.ini file to see what the size limit is set to there.

I don't think it's a size limit since it will say it's finished at various file sizes. I have my max execution time and max input time set pretty high so I'm not sure what else to change.

Hmm. i installed but i dont even SEE the downloads section

You have to put the link yourself...

You won't see a link anywhere, although you should see the admincp options once you refresh the admincp.

Have you read the install directions: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....22&postcount=2

Also, if you'd like to have it one the navbar see: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=299

D'OH!!!!!!! hehehe... Thanks, why didn't the author mention that? Hehehe

Hey CyberRanger, is there any chance you could help me with my large file download issue? I've been doing a bunch of tests and it looks like it stops downloading after 7 minutes. My max execution and max input times are set greater than that but it still stops downloading after 7 minutes. It actually hangs for a bit before the 7 minute mark. So maybe around 5 minutes it kind of freezes.

Can anybody tell me the "condition" name if i want to <if> in "headerinclude" for individual meta tags for the different DownloadsII templates (DOWNLOAD / downloads_file / downloads_cat / etc.)

i mean something like this in "headerinclude" Template:

thx

Hello, I am trying to locate the 'navabar' template edit to add the download link to my main menu on my forum. I have searced navbar and cannot find where to put the code to add the download link. (dncforums.com) Any ideas?

Firstly, thank you for a great mod, just what I was looking for.

However I have a little problem I was hoping someone could assist with.
When an image is uploaded for a download it uploads with the permissions 600 which means it cannot be viewed.
The main download file uploads fine (666) and so does the thumbnail created (666).
The folder permissions are 777 and the ownership correct.

I am running the latest version of this mod and of VB. Any help would be much appreciated.

TIA

I think this will fix your problem. In downloads.php, around line 818 find:
BELOW that ADD
Let me know how it works.

I've been researching it but I haven't come up with anything yet. I'll let you know if I do.

Works like a dream. Thank you for your support and very quick response.

can i shown my uploaded attachment before installed Downloads II ?

Hi CyberRanger,

Thanks for all the time you spent developing and supporting this addon. It's greatly appreciated. The addon has been extremely useful.

Do you have any idea when the next version would come out? I hope in the new version you could change it so each user's files are placed inside his own directory (based on User ID). This way the files are spread out. Currently my downloads folder contains some 14,000 files (images included). I afraid having too many files in a single directory may affect server performance.

Thanks for the response. I am really sorry about that! I looked through the first 10 pages of replies and did some searches and I didn't see anything....guess next time I'll look a little harder and try not to waste anyone's time! Great MOD and Thanks!

Hey hows the progress coming along for version 6?

not sure if this is too late to request, or even possible for you to make it a default, or if you would have to support 2 separate codes.

but there are heaps of people who are using vbseo who would love to see a few implementations into downloads II so vbseo can make it more seo friendly.

here is a thread at vbseo showing peoples interest http://www.vbseo.com/f23/downloads-i...ules-7539-new/

and here is the thread explaining how to do the changes for more vbseo compatibility http://www.vbseo.com/f2/vbseo-functi...sibility-1662/

hope its not too late to be included. Thanks.

Am i the only one getting Sql database errors when importing the file?

What is the error message?

sorry, no eta

I agree this needs to be reworked. But I don't think user id is the way to go. Unlike normal vb attachments which tend to be spread among a lot of different users, the downloads files are often uploaded by a small number (or just one) admin.

Instead, I'll probably change it to either a random folder selection (say 1-9 with subfolders of 1-9 below each of those) or category id.

Is there any way to allow certain user groups persmissions to certain downloads? I want to be able to enable downloads to users with xx posts...any ideas?

This is possible when you use the vBulletin usergroup permissions and the promotion system. Set up a new usergroup, a copy of the normal registered users group. Create a promotion to it when they reach x amount of posts and give that group permission to access the downloads using the DownloadsII usergroup permissions.

There is also a usergroup field to list category numbers for limited category access.

Great MOD.

Two things tho'.

I cannot find anywhere to setup catagorys.

Any change of a copyright free version, can pay.

Thanks

Dave.

It's not in the vBulletin options like most other plug-ins. Look at the list on the left hand side from within your AdminCP.

You will see a "Downloads" drop down list there. It will be at the very top of the list.

Nope, nothing.

Try reuploading all the files from the upload folder. You missed /includes/xml/cpnav_ecdownloads.xml then (and maybe other files too).

@ RS
My litle problem exist. Look here ;

I have fixed it now, thanks guys!

Just need to re-import the product for some reason.

NOTE FOR CODER**

Any chance of a copyright free version?

Question

I want to change Bytes to KB in the right side File name

where file or phrase i need to edit ?

thanks guys

I was able to setup the usergroups and promotions and it made perfect sense. I then assigned downloads permissions to the groups. I have 3 download categories I am using and you can access the first group with 10 posts, the second with 25, and third with 50. I then created a dummy user and assigned it 11 posts and it worked. I then bumped him to 26 and the dummy user was unable to see the second group of downloads. I checked the permissions and I have a "1,2" for the ability to see category selection. I hope what I said makes sense. It just seems like the permissions dont update. I even ran maint. utilities to update user titles, etc. Any ideas?
