Well I am having this problem when I go to add links. First of all I install the LInks/Files database hack with no problem. Nothing was changed in the templates.

Anyway I create a Sub-category without any problems. So I at the window, Add/Edit Link, adding in the info Title, URL, etc. When I get to the Categories part it is already highlighted the category I already want and in. So when I click submit button I am taking back to that sub directory and the link that I just created isn't there. So I go the the Administrator Links or Link Administration and I see the # flagged links available and click on available link. Which gives me a list of all the links I have created plus the link I just created. So I click on the edit link next to that new link and sure enough is doesn't have a Category highlight even thou I had highlighted the first time.

So am I doing something wrong...why isn't it when I create a link the link doesn't assoisate itself with the category I pick when I do so to begin with.

I've logged in and fixed all your links. These now show the size and you (or at least I) get a progress bar when downloading.

Local downloadable files (i.e. those with recognised mimetypes) are specified starting at the web root, i.e. /file is expected to be in the top directory (not your forum directory), /dir/file should be in the "dir" subdirectory of your top directory. The current code is not happy to be given filenames which use ".." type directories - I may change that with the next release.

Not sure what your problem is - I had a look at your site and I can see a number of links that seem to work ok.

You can use this hack to provide links to files on any machine that is accessible via the internet. They do not need to be uploaded onto your own site. The normal approach would be to provide a link to a file held within the file system of the target host, so indeed you can provide entries to large drivers.

This hack does not provide any facility to upload the files - you have to do that another way. It also does not store the files in the database - it simply stores the information on the file.

The only comment on this is that the facility to report file sizes and track download progress is *not* available if you identify the file using a ful url, i.e. http://site/directory/file. This facility only works if the file is held on your own host and is identified using a local file name.

Well that is after I have reassicate the links to the proper sub directories. If I gave you access could you take a look at it?

Just email me......admin at full-throttle.us

Thanks

Sorry, but I don't have the time to look through the whole 26 pages for my answer. :P

My question is are the downloads directly linked to link on the downloads page, or can you have the links lead to a page where there is editable information about the download, like download info or special instructions of the kind?

Thanks!

Well, maybe I don't have time either!

Each link has a name and associated information (each of which can contain standard vbulletin bbcodes), can be associated with one or many categories and can be protected by being associated with a forum. All of this can be edited.

You could have found that out without reading 26 pages.

Thanks... I installed it and got it working perfectly, and it does exactly what I want it to be able to do. Thanks!

/me clicks Install

love the hack, only problem is that is there any way to show it on the nav bar on top?
