Indeed.

Well same goes for CyberRanger.

Don't know what to do, after deleting 5.0.5. i uploaded 5.0.6. files to host and while importing product i receive "No file uploaded and no local file found".. need help
P.S. Sorry for my english, hope you can understand me

I made that.. and it works now..
btw i've translated it to Russian language, can i post it somewhere?

If it's not on the "Open File Directly in Browser", it should open in a new window normally. What browser are you using? Also give it a try in another one.

I don't know what could cause such a random error. If it happened to the attached images, it could be the problem CyberRanger sorted out, but for uploading files the 666 chmod is done correctly. Also you are talking about random errors, so it can't be a chmod problem (or even a PHP problem). Those errors wouldn't be random occuring then, but always.

Can you check your Apache error log? Are there any (related) errors with downloads.php?

That's already possible, just use the usergroup permissions :)
There's a per usergroup setting to control the amount of downloads.

Normally you can just set the download delay in the settings, or use the usergroup permissions to set download delays per usergroup (which is overwriting the overall setting). It's checking the username AND the IP already, so it should work.

I don't think we are going to do that as this is the same method vBulletin uses for the forum search.

They're probably using the PHP PDF functions to do this or another PHP class (there are more of them). This isn't an easy to add thing as it requires some special functions (or a separate class) and it's a pretty load to include this in DownloadsII as it won't be used by a lot of people. It could be something for an add-on.

You can also make your copyright and distribution rights clear at the top of the PDF with your site url etc. and send a mail to those sites.

You may always attach it here to a post :)


@All: I'm answering the other questions in a next batch of responses :D

Here's my russian translated version of DownloadsII. I will appreciate any feedback on it;)

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????

well it turn out taht i had raid issues since i have 2 hdd in one partion...
anyway i got another request, i want to place ads on every download page except for donators and the staff ppl, i want like ads on top and bottom... how can it be done

??? Your question is hard to understand but I think the answer is no. DownloadsII doesn't put the files into separate folders. All uploaded files go to the same folder. We aren't happy with that either but that's how it works now.

i get this error when i want to change my user group permissions in step 3 of the installation process

That's not anything related to DownloadsII. You've installed/uninstalled a product that creates a field named credit_daily that is giving you the error. That's not a field used in Downloads.

thanks for rplay.
please notice to my problem:
i downlod to my host with rapidleech in a folder and i want import them to download II that user can download them
i dont like my users know my rapideleech folder but when i import a file to download II it link to my file in rapidleech folder.
thanks alot

Yes Cyber, I was able to Import when I first installed it, but at that time I was getting errors with the upload in the download.php which turned out to be my php max settings in php.ini I changed them to 500MB and the client side works great now but the Import doesnt. Zip file is fine, Attachments settings are correct, Permissions are good... ALso If I uninstall DownloadII it still stays in my Plugins/Products List... ???? and if I try to uninstall again says something like cant find product edownloads or summin

Thx for the support.

Tom

i have asked many many times now if u guys can get the rss feeds but i always get ignored so please answer this again... can we have rss on downloads `?

Sure, write it and we'll add it! We currently have no plans to add it but it would be a good addition.

Hey Tom - if you can PM me all of you login info (vb admin account and an ftp account) I'll look into this next Tuesday or so. Thx!

I'm still confused. Are you trying to use the mass import feature from the admincp? Or, are you simply linking to the files on different server?

Thanks for the reply Cyber, Its working now... LMAO... I think it had something to do with Upload limits and/or changing my date and time, cause i changed the setting for Download Wait period to Zero and Now everything works... thanks for the great support for an Excellent mod.

Tom

PS Maybe I'll up the waiting period now and see if it still works... LOL

Hi, can this be set as a download repository where each user can only see files set for his eyes only?

Hey guys,

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a reply with some features I requested for this hack. One of them was that I would like to see that the hack picks the Author's name to show the download on the profile instead of the Uploader's Name. Jelle responded that it wasn't a useful feature but I do have something else to add about my request.

I upload almost all the downloads myself. To make sure the downloads are shown on the correct profile, I do Assign Uploader and change it to the membername of who created the download. One problem: When doing that it gives that person the ability to delete the file. This is something I can't have so I had to change them all to something else. This means that the files won't be shown on the correct profile anymore. I still would like to request the option that you can make sure the download will appear on the profile of the Author instead of the Uploader.

Thanks again.

Best regards,

Bozza

Changed the Waiting period in Main settings and everything still working fine... :)

hi all how i can do someting to registered user can download the file but they can't see downloads.php how i can do that?

I apologise if i missed this is the thread somewhere...

I have been zipping up some mp3's an uploading them. but when they are downloaded they keep coming up as invalid archive.

I checked the file in the directory and downloaded it bia smartftp and the file is ok. but for some reason its not working when i download it through the system.

any ideas?

All "Title/File Name" has truncated,how to set up more long "Title/File Name" to some number limitation.

I think you forgot to add the attachment :p

Like I said, PHP coding mistakes don't create random errors :)
I've searched a lot, but I can't think at all such things also.

For usergroup determinated adds, just use this code in your DownloadsII (and any other vBulletin) templates:
Just list the usergroup ids (in this case 5 (super mods) and 6 (admins)) to hide the adds for.

Using the usergroup permissions you can list the categories a user can see/download from and what other permissions you give OR the categories a user can't see/...
There are no advanced per category usergroup permissions yet.

This will be possible with v6, which is in progress (I'm cutting down the new features which take too much time to accomplish at the moment). There will be separate edit/delete usergroup permissions and they are also separated a second time by file owner (edit/delete own files) and all files (edit/delete all files).

So they won't see downloads.php?do=file&id=xxx&act=down as the source of the download?
It should show something as the source of the download, so we think this is pretty safe as you can control the downloads using the usergroup permissions. We aren't showing the location of the file in the downloads directory to avoid hotlinking.
If you are linking a file, the link is shown to the downloader as it isn't on your own server then normally.

Hmm, someone else also had this problem with the previous release (5.0.5), but only in Internet Explorer. I changed the download headers to a method IE also likes and his problems are solved now. So be sure you have the newest DownloadsII files (downloads.php mostly in this case), version 5.0.6, on your FTP. Also give it a try in another browser (Firefox or something like that if you aren't using that browser already).

Then you can try to open downloads.php
Find
Replace with
So you undo the 5.0.6 change to avoid IE corrupting zip files (on some servers in some rare cases, don't know why yet).

Then give it another try with the problem browser(s). Please give some feedback on what a different browser does and it the change helps to fix it for all browsers.

There's a database limitation in our database scheme. The name field has got a 50 (varchar) characters limitation at the moment, which should be enough for normal use -I think- (if it's too long, you probably go outside the layout boxes etc.).

If you can work with phpMyAdmin, you can open the dl_files table of your vBulletin database, find the name field and put a higher varchar value instead of the current maximum of 50 characters.

no you didn't get it some of website i see they have this download hack but they put the link of --> downloads.php?do=file&id=xxx&act=down in thread and after anyone want go to downloads.php the page is white and they can't see the page ok?

Thanks RS_Jelle. Working great.
Hope on next release can added this features,so we dont need to go to phpmyadmin to change it :D

I'm looking for a download mod for our vBulletin installation, and this one's close, but it seems to be missing a couple of things we'd really like to have:

-Private downloads: Allow moderators to assign a single user to specific downloads and make them private to only that customer. This would be useful for license key downloads.

-Configurable license agreements: Ability to create and select from a list of license agreements. When an agreement is assigned to a download, it's presented to the user when a download of that item is attempted and the user must 'Accept' the agreement before the file is served.

As a previous Joomla user, I became spoiled by DocMan. Now that I'm using Drupal/vBulletin, I can't find a download module that does the same thing.
If DownloadsII is already capable of the features we're looking for, or if anybody has a suggestion for implementing it, please let me know.

Thanks,
Nate

I am looking for those exact docman features and would definitely be interested into a pointer on how to implement them.

Same error after updating vbulletin and reinstalling downloadsII . Does someone have a hint how to fix it ?


But thus changes are kept...

How to correct this trouble?[/QUOTE]

Hi all,

i've tried to look at the readme and checking various posts, but there is no instructions on how to put the download tab in the status bar on the forum (i mean next to usercp, member list ecc ecc).

Is it possible? Just to understand how to link the download.php to my users.
I'm trying at the same time to configure even on vbadvanced :p

Thanks,

Poeta

hello
really amazing work
I have some question and need answer if you allow plz
1-Can install it as subdomain of forum?
2-from where I can edite layout of main page /category page/download page?
3- how I can add field on download page as aouther and file size I want add field on that page how I can do it?

thanks

I don't think you really can. We assume downloads.php is in the main forum folder. I'll double-check but I think the answer is no.
You need to examine the DOWNLOADS templates and find the one's you need to change. The best way to learn what happens is to play with them some. :)
You'd need to edit the source code and the templates. I'm afraid there is no easy way to do that right now.

It's possible to do with chdir to get the vBulletin files from your forums directory and the base html tag to get the right vBulletin layout images from your forums etc.
But the vBulletin license states that you may only install it on one (sub)domain. You also may not show another layout or something else on different (sub)domains. You need separate licenses for this.

They are pretty strict with this (there has been some discussion about this before on other mods) :)

no one help my problem?

I don't see where you have a problem. I only saw where you want Downloads to perform different than intended. We aren't going to code it like you want. The site that gives a white page is a terrible way to operate.

can anyone find out this website using this hack or no --> www.persianhub.org/downloads.php thanks

it's this hack, they just set the Display all subcat and somehow i think he removed the DownloadsII copyright notice too and we're not allowed to do that. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Hi all,

This mod looks extremely impressive well done.

Is their a road map of what future features will be added?

Thanks,
Josh

You're absolutely right, I have more than 10,000 files for my members to download and will have about more than 600 categories running on my dedicated server. I've figured out a way to make it look nice and neat with all that categories without the Categories features. Right now, my bandwidth drains about 3-5 GB per day, I wonder if it'll slow down my board if Ihave about 20GB of bandwidth my members leeched of my server. Is there anyway I can host my board and database on other server and files on separated server?

And also, how come I have imported and uploaded total of more than 10,000 files and on the main download page, it's showing that my main category has more than 10,000 files too but when I ftp to my account and go into the downloads folder that i set, there's only almost 4,000 files in there. I have check all the files in download section and able to download them and none of my members said anything about broken download yet. I'm wondering where all the other 6,000+ files go?

Please advise. Thanks in advance.
