Hi CyberRanger, I seem to be having a similar problem as maidos. If you would not mind I could use your help...I can create categories & subs to, but I can't get files added through the forum or import them in admincp. I have set the "downloads" folder permissions to 777. I know this is vague so if its OK I will PM you access to the site and ftp.

Are you checking the box after each file that you want to upload? I uploaded two from that directory without error.

sure, PM away

The upload worked great for me by doing http://www.dungeonlan.com/forum2/dow...hp?do=add&cat=. Are you sure you were trying to upload a file that has an allowed extension? (right now you have that set to zip rar tar gz)

Here's the test file http://www.dungeonlan.com/forum2/dow...p?do=file&id=1

EDIT: on thing I did notice is that your style is preventing you from seeing the displayed error message if you try to upload an file with an invalid extension.

Check out the two attachments. There is an error message but you can't see it until you highlight where it is.

oh i didnt see the those box where u can tick on under import anyway works great now thanks XD

OK thanks so much .. .. I was trying to upload a .jpg file originally, and thought that because it was listed in allowed image extensions it would let me upload it.

"Allowed Image Extensions
Users will only be able to upload files with the following specified extensions. Note: must be lower case, separated by spaces ----jpg jpeg jpg2 gif png"



So would I need to add the jpg extension to the list under---------"Allowed File Extensions
Users will only be able to upload files with the following specified extensions. Note: must be lower case, separated by spaces-----zip rar tar gz.

Correct, allowed file extensions are the files themselves that users download. The image extensions are for "screenshots" that you want to include about the file.

All makes sense now :D thanks again..

How do I adjust the font size?

Specifically at download page home, it lists the number of files for each category. I'd like to increase the font size of that number if at all possible. Any ideas?

Good work guys, upgrading... :)

You need to edit the downloads_main_catbit template for this ;)

In that template you need to search for:
And replace it with:

Awesome, thanks!

i have a suggestion, can you make members post a comment on each download page?
and disable the post ccount

There's already a comment feature, but you need to enable it in the DownloadsII settings in the AdminCP and set the correct usergroup permissions. Those comments aren't calculated in the vBulletin postcount.

oh, how about comments for guest?

Like I said: you can give the usergroups you want permissions for commenting. And standard vBulletin has got a guests usergroup, so you can set it.

I uploaded a screenshot (a JPEG image) as a download file; however, I also had to add it as an image after I made the sumission for something to show up; otherwise, I could only download the file and not see a preview. Is there a way to make it recognize an image file if it is uploaded and automatically generate it as the first image? That way you don't have to upload it twice? Also, this should be changeable via the AdminCP for those that wouldn't want this feature enabled. Thanks! :)

DownloadsII is meant for files, not for images. You upload for example a piece of software in a zip file and you can add some screenshots of it with the images features, that's our primary target. For adding images only, you need to get a gallery (and there are some free ones on vBulletin.org, for example PhotoPlog Lite).

Upgrade went well :)

Will do. Thanks. ;)

Hi there people! :)
I am having a problem with php safe mode.
Thing is that I can't download files larger than 8mb.
I don't need to upload larger files, since i could upload them over ftp, but it would be nice if there is some chance that people could download files larger than my php limit. :)

Thanks in advance! :)

on downloads, settings theres a settings ´like this

Display "Tops" on all pages?

but even if iset on yet it doesnt seem to appear:/

If you can't change your php.ini (so if it's not your own server), you can use a .htaccess file to override this setting.

Try the "Update Counters" feature (on the public downloads.php page) and be sure the "Number of "xxx" to Display" DownloadsII settings aren't set to 0.

i have done what you have instructed me but yet im unable to view it, please take a look on your own please

Yeah, but then you need to pm me your site url and the login of a test account as I don't know your site (it's not in your vB.org profile) :D
You also need to have files in your categories. If there aren't any files, there's nothing to display for the tops ...

Any chance of in the future adding a "hidden" flag to files so only the uploader can see them. This will make it great for people wanting to store files on the server without giving everyone access to them. Also, it would be good if you could give access based on user so someone could share with just a few others without having to create groups with just 3 or 4 people in them.

Thanks for the update. Went perfect, and fixed those few bugs I had.

ps. you are giving really good support above, don't know how you manage your time, but well done on the wonderful mod. cant wait to see what version 6 will offer ^^

Thanks again for the help on customizing the template. I've been tweaking several things. New download buttons, whee! Now I've got another question.

A lot of my files are things that can potentially be viewed or listened to online in a browser (like .pdfs, graphics, mp3s, etc), and a lot of the people visiting my page might be more interested in viewing instead of downloading everything to their hard drive. Is there a tag I can put into downloads_file that would open the file in a user's browser?

Ok! We figured it out. We can now open files online. Check it out in action:

http://www.youthrights.org/forums/do...do=file&id=117

The next step would be to keep track of viewed/opened files the same way downloads are tracked. Any suggestions for that?

Ok, we got it set up so the existing download counter counts the viewed/opened files too. I figured it wouldn't be worth it to keep a separate tally. Everything is working great. :D

Discovered a little bug.
When using the "Manage files" option. Then select a file and do someting like "delete file", then after the action is taken (which works fine) you won't be put back in the filelist of the "Manage files" section.
You just get the head with the subhead (ping, category, approval) but no list of files anymore. However you should be put back in the "Manage Files" section with the list of the remaining file.

Furthermore if I select 2 files, then select 1 action next to 1 of the files, only that file is effected, so I don't quite understand the benefit of the selection squares.

Is there any possibility to use the permission of the groups while seeing downloadinformation in the profile?

Edit, nvm got it, it is dl_files, ignore this post.

What is the table name that the files are stored in?

I ask because I am trying to change the below code (another files system)

Which I dont use, as I use this files system.

Which shows my stats here

http://www.gamerzneeds.net/sig.php


Basically i'm trying to modify the code above so it will display the number of files for this instead. any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.


Edit, nvm got it, it is dl_files

someone knows which is the template ffor the category look i have thub for each category but look so bad have the name and the imagen in the same place

i try to edit downloads_cat_subbit but not look i put the zelse> condicion to show only one but i guess this is not the template that im looking for

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

i like to see something like this

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

For a while DownloadsII was working for me and then all of a sudden my site got a 500 internal server error.

When i comment out these 2 lines, the site works again. If I leave them commented, I can upload files (but only small ones). Any ideas? Also there is a file stuck in the etc_tmp folder that I can't delete, like something is locking it. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I'm on VB 3.6.5 running 4.0.5. below is the errorl

I'm going to look into this :)
I'm not using this feature myself, so I just hotfixed it for the previous bug, but most likely not that good :p

We are going to address this "bug" in a next release, as there are no permissions for this set at the moment.

A better way is to get the 'files' variable from the dl_main table, that's faster (there are some other statistics stored in that table) :)

There's downloads_main and downloads_main_catbit you need to edit for the downloads.php main page. There's also downloads_cat_subs and downloads_cat_subbit for the sub categories displayed on category pages.

You get an internal error 500 if there's something wrong with the .htaccess file or its syntax. Are there any more rules than those two mentioned by CyberRanger in it?
Then check the chmod (file permissions) of the .htaccess file. It should have full read permissions for the three possible read levels.

Thanks for the response. Yes, I have the chmod set to 644 on the file (all 3 reads). The only other thing in the file is stuff for vBSEO. Like I said though, it worked fine for a bit and then it just stopped working. Not really sure why.

Hi,
if i upgrade to last version,will i lose my downloads ?

thx

I absolutely love this mod. Using it in my forum. Click my signature to see it at work. Nice Job.:D

Can you post the full content of your .htaccess file?

You won't lose any data during a normal upgrade when you follow the instructions. The only way to remove your files and other database stuff, is uninstalling the product.
