ahhh that looks nice up there. thanks

It looks very, very nice!
Will it work for VB 3.6.1 ? :)

Yes it does. I've got it running without problems on 3.6.0 and also 3.6.1 at the moment.

Question,

I have taken the precaution of moving the file path to below my root and everything works fine except when someone uploads images to accompany downloads. They are broken because it is trying to refer to the above the root directory.

is there a way to specify a path for downloads and a path for the seperate images to prevent this?

Thanks!

Probably you have done it like this:
/home/domain/public_html/downloads
and your forums are in /home/domain/public_html/yourforums
or something like that.
But as i understood a few topics ago from the coder, it should be relative to your forums path.
In this example, your relative path should be:
../downloads/
and then images should work.
I hope I understood the explanation of the coder correctly.
It's explained in msg #399.

Thanks but not in my case. I appreciate the help though. My forums are here:

http://www.trackpads.com/forum

And my setting is this:

../../downloads/

This places it here in my webserver path:

/home/myaccount/downloads where my forum is
/home/myaccount/public_html/forum

The reason I did this was that I kept finding some jackass who was somehow getting shell scripts into that folder because it was chmod 777. The only way to prevent it was either move it or change the chmod which I cant do.

The other problem is that since I have more than 1998 files (over 12K now) the ftp will not display them, just the first 1998. So it is hard to manage the directory.

Thanks again,

The images are using the same path, so it's a known problem (that's why we don't recommend it at this moment) :)
You can fix it by modifying downloads.php. Find $dl->url in it and replace them (but not all) with the correct site url to the images.

You don't need to change for example:
Only the images (img html tag), for example:
Change this example to (or something like that):
Your second problem is also a known one, we need to built in an option that creates directories to seperate the files so you don't get such large directories.

I may post some example url's later so you guys can take a look at other systems out their, but i think you guys have been requested this already.


Just like in the above quote. I too would really like this.

So not only would users be able to download it, but if it is a supported file type, they could either open it, or play it like youtube/google video etc.

Also a way to embed google video/you tube video etc. so users can post youtube video onto the site, and it plays on the site, and they can comment on it on the site, but it doesnt waste the bandwidth of the site.

Also was there mention of a paid/lite version and are you guys developing this on a site that I can check out the progress etc.

Thanks.

AdminCP -> Downloads -> Settings -> Open Directly in Browser
Add the file extension on that list to open it in the browser directly. There is no real embedded option at this moment.
I don't know where you read that. We aren't creating such a thing and there are no plans for it :)
The next thing we are working on is version 6, a big release with many new features :cool:
