@RS_Jelle Is there a way i can mass move posts and there attachments from sections of the forum into the downloads center without me going through all of them 1 by 1 and manually retyping all the posts out and re-uploading the attachments ?

Reason ime asking is i have around 1500 posts & attachments i want moving into downloads center and atm its very time consuming :eek:


Thanks


Edit just looking at the imports option in acp but not to sure how to use it and if moving a database of 1.3GB will cause any problems?

There's no way to import post and their attachments at the moment. The "import" AdminCP feature is there to import all files from an FTP folder you specify, so that's not what you're looking for.

Yea i thought so , just wanted to double check.

Thanks :up:

@RS_Jelle:
If I remember correctly there was another version "in the make", which would have a lot of new features. Is there any sight if such option could be in there and maybe an ETA?

I already released DownloadsII v6 (vB4 only), which is a full recode with several new features (report button, advanced search, quick reply, ...) :)
So I currently have no plans for extending the vB3 release any further.

That's very pity to hear, because like a lot of other people, I will not upgrade to VB4, mostly due to the way things were done by VB and the new pricing system.

I know, but it's impossible to develop two versions. I will continue to fix bugs and security issues, but that's probably all.

Keep in mind that support for vB 3.8 will stop pretty quickly: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...pport-Schedule
Now it has bugfix + security support, but when 4.1 is released the bugfix support will be dropped. And 3.8 will be end of life when 4.2 is released.

I'm not a big vB4 fan too at the moment (and I'm not upgrading my own site at this moment), but it's a dead end. I hope 4.0.2 will be more stable, cause 4.0.1 introduced two new bugs (AJAX username suggestion and custom profile tabs not working any more). But I'm really disappointed too at the moment and it's not getting any better with such bad "maintenance" releases (200 bugs "fixed", but still 2000+ open on the tracker) :)

As it is, every time Jelle goes away to fix lunch, people start screaming "Unsupported" and declaring the mod abandoned. At least he's still offering bug fixes.

@Digital Jedi: I don't screem anything, I only stated that it was pity downloads II v3.x development would be stopped. And that's because I'm a real fan of downloads 2, not because I think Jelle's abandoning things or whatever.

I always was very happy with Jelle's support and I still am. Downloads II is one of the mods which belongs to the very best of all. I'm a fan of Downloads II for several years. You should think and read statements better, before making incorrect accusations about people you don't know. I never screemed anything, instead I even tried to help out too sometimes (check the previous page).

@Jelle: I understand you have to make a choice. No hard feelings there, you don't owe me an explanation. I'm already glad I could use this great mod over the years and still can. For which I'm thankful, including the support you still give for people with problems.

Indeed, you're right, so I'm even more glad that I will stop upgrading vB, because I bought a lifetime license with at least lifetime security fixes was told me before.
But vB keeps changing their agreements over the years which is a bad thing, a lifetime is shortened these days to what vB think should be the end of life.
Anyway, that's not your fault.:)

I wish you all the best on the 4.x section!

Er, I never said that you did. I was making a general statement. Hence the generic term: "people."
