I answered them already yesterday (see #360) ;)

5.) It should work fine normally. Be sure you enabled the setting:
AdminCP -> Downloads -> Settings -> Show Download Stats -> Yes
And ofcourse check the template edit in the postbit (or post_legacy template when you use that one (and I see you use it, so be sure you edited it and not the postbit template)).

6.) Then they have wrong permissions for their usergroup:
AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Super Moderators -> Edit Usergroup -> ecDownloads Permissions -> Can Avoid Purgatory -> Yes

Eigenlijk stom dat ik dat allemaal in het Engels schrijf :p

First of all thanks for the nice feedback :)
I think we really need to make a list of what we ware planning to change in the next big release, lol. In version 6 the rating feature will be changed to a vBulletin like system with stars.

No, this isn't possible at the moment. At the moment we aren't planning such a feature, but I was thinking about including some hooks in the code so we (and/or other people) can easily create some add-ons. Creating a hook location after the "file add" code would be something obvious then, so creating an add-on to do this would be very easy then.

I completely missed 360 for some reason, stupid me.
Thanks very much for your reply (nja engelstalig forum dus blijven we maar in die taal verder gaan he).:)

1-4 are now clear to me
5 is fixed (forgot to enable them again).
6 Ahaaa... well I thought purgatory was to purge files.:)
So al my questions solved, a big thanks and again, a marvelous hack, super!


I still got a little question I'm not sure about:
I used now /home/satfun/public_html/files/ so an absolute path and it works fine. My forums are in /home/satfun/public_html/bbs/. You write i have to use "." in the path, not the absolute path. How should I do it then since my download section is not placed under my forums directory?

It's used also for the image url's, but I see you aren't using the image upload feature. There is no other way at the moment, but if you don't upload images you won't have any problems with it ;)

Oke, thanks for the quick support!

I got some suggestions for future releases or upgrades:

1.) In the Manage Files Section, put the word "search" next to the search option on top, some of the moderators thought this was a mod tool in stead of a search tool, because of the default values in there.:)

2.) In the drop-down menu for managing, add a seperate "move" funktion. Now you have to use the edit funktion to move files which is a bit.. euhmz.. what's the Engelish word.... in Dutch it's "omslachtig". Such a move funktion would need a seperate screen I guess and that needs some coding, but hee.. it's just a suggestion, right? :D

But it's a great hack anyhow and works perfectly with vBA too!

Any luck with the apostrophies :D

I seem to have an issue... I think I have tried to search through all the pages for something that looked the same - so sorry if it has been asked a dozen times. :hurt:

Everything seems to work fine, but when clicking on the download button, a window just pops up and sits there *thinking*

Maybe I am doing this wrong, but I am trying to link to other web servers in our server farm to offload the bandwidth. I am using the linked file area and putting the link to the file, i.e. http://www2.example.com/downloads/examplefile.zip

Is this correct, or is the linking supposed to be to another page - and not directly to the file?

Thanks for the help! :knockedout:

hi westpointer/Rs_Jelly

can u make it able to import files from external host?
as we have two(02) host SG & PW
downloads located in SG , can it import files from PW?

also got some req. for future release
1.quick reply type msg posting box.
2."Report Broken Link" & "Email this page" button
3. Must Rate before download.(also show msg
4.Enable Quota System/Limit Bandwidth/
5.Turn Of any catagory/sub-catagory/sub-sub-catagory .

I didn't have the time to work on this yet, but I know what kind of bug it is. It's a wrong stripped character (wrong backslashes). It's on my to do list, so I'm going to fix it.
This is correct, it's a link to a php file of DownloadsII which counts the amount of downloads etc. and that file links you to the actual file. This is also a bit of a protection against hotlinking.

@Zia: we really need to create a list of our planned features, lol. You have guessed them all correct except 3. But I don't understand 4? There is already a bandwidth limitation feature (usergroup permissions)?

Hmmm... the I think I have it setup correctly. Any idea why a 'linked' file to one of my other webservers just brings up a new explorer window that just stays in the 'loading' process?

http://www.mhogaming.com/forums/downloads.php is the reference link. Everything else seems to work okay except for the actual download. I am linking to files on our other web servers as to save drive space and bandwidth for our main web server.

Thanks!
