Ahhh, with EC you can't link to external files? :(

I have been waiting for the other Downloads mod to come back.

What if I download this one, and the other download mod comes back with fixes and stuff?

Yes, you can link to external files.;)

How? Just paste the external link into the import form?

From the page downloads.php?do=add&cat=, you fill in the requested information about the file then place the url to the file in the box that reads "Link to a File". You would leave "Upload a File" blank.

This mod will continue to use the same database and product info as Ron1n's original mod. He's had about 4 weeks to correct a coding problem that took 5 minutes to fix. I've repeatedly tried to contact him without success. My guess is that real life has gotten the better of him for awhile. If he reappears and updates his mod, you'll have the choice which one to use!

Sometime down the road, I may make this mod use different tables and install as a separate mod but for now the focus is on getting a secure version to ecDownload users.

Add see if you host will turn safe mode off. Otherwise, I can think of one more option for you put it would be custom and I can't do it until later in the week.

Give this a try:

1. Change the permission on the downloads folder to 2777. (From your forums directory execute the command: chmod 2777 downloads)
2. Upload the attached downloads.php file.

NOTE: for this to work safe_mode_gid must be set to yes (on).

Got it, I didn't overwrite the .xml file, just downloads.php. It blew away my top xx downloads settings, but everything else is working now.

Thanks very much once again!

Cool! If you click on "Manage Files", that should rebuild your counters.
