is it possible to completly remove all data about the uploaders name ?

You already asked this a month ago and I already gave you the answer.

i did but however like i said i want to delete it completly, if i enable the code again the name of the uploaders will show up, i want it to vanished completely from the datatbase
and if i go to manage files i still see the uploaders name

one feature request, can u implent a click box on all files so the staff can easily mass delete the files

let say i got 80 files in one category and i wanna delete 50 files.. it would eat alot of my time deleting one after another if you implent one clickbox it will save alot of time...

You can do that, but then you will need to do a lot of changes (PHP changes next to the the simple template edit) each release of DownloadsII.

We are not going to remove it as it's a pretty logical feature for a downloads mod. Most DownloadsII users are using it.

Remove this part from the downloads_man_bit template:
Two template edits are way easier than removing it also from the database (with database removal, you will still need to do the template edits). If you don't see it, why is it then so important to remove it from the database?

Just removing the uploader id from the database doesn't solve it all (as that would cause database errors without the PHP edits for every new release).

Manage Files can do that? :)
Search for the files you want with the select boxes at the top, then check the files you want and select the action (for example delete) at the bottom select box.

Thanks :)

Actually no, since my hdd got bad sector it was replaced with a new hard disk. surely u remember when i always get the error file down issue lol

Bad news came and they only was able to recover 40 % of my files. So most files on the download page is being there with with dead links. Theres no way i can go to manage my files to delete it. takes even more time . i need to test all files if they work or not before i delete it :(
which is why having click box could save me alot of grief

I understand, but you are asking a lot of stuff and we are creating DownloadsII in our free time.

Always take a backup at least every week if your site is changing quick.
But I thought you were using RAID? So one bad disk can't be a problem (except for RAID0, which isn't a real RAID level) as you still have got a duplicate of all the content.
Also with RAID a good backup system is necessary (for example when you are hacked, then it's changed on all the disks). RAID only protects you from hardware failure.

well i used raid0 actually :/ the company said my server got3ware so i thought it was alright....

hm yeah i know its ur free time... but if u can make some vote or something and see if many ppl want that feature, would u do it?

I don't think that many people have got a hd crash problem like that :)

You can also use phpMyAdmin to do this. The dl_files table is pretty easy to find and to handle manually.

Im not to sure on the instructions for upgrading, i have version 5.0.5 with downloads on it already and stuff, if i wanna upgrade i just upload and replace all the files with the ones in the upload folder from the package? and everything is done?

I have a few members listed as Top Contributors with 0 files.
The plugin is brand new. They haven't contributed anything.
Where do their names come from?

How do I set it so only subscribed people can download?

Yes, just overwrite all the old files with the new ones in the upload folder. Then import the new product XML to your product section in the AdminCP (and turn the overwrite option on while importing).

It's because there's no limit at the moment and so it just gets the first x members it can get from the users table (with the highest upload counter, but in the beginning that's all 0). It gets fixed while you are adding files and there are real uploaders. You can change the amount of top contributors in the AdminCP (DownloadsII settings).

Just use the usergroup permissions and put them in another usergroup. That's it :)

but i dont know where to edit on phpmyadmin im not that familiar care to help please?

oh on manage my files can i somehow get more files in one page... like 100 files per page

heres another suggestion (think this one will benefit everyone)
create a link for all files for everyone to report a dead file

hi man.
i always getting "The upload failed! Upload error" when uploading files bigger than 1 mb but there is no problem with small files, what's the problem?

That's because of the default upload limit of PHP.

You need to create a file named .htaccess (note the period in front of the name). Put the following two lines into the file:

Upload the file into your forum directory (the same location where downloads.php is located.)

This will increase the size of the file you can upload to 30MB.

thx man
i'm sorry to not searched in previous pages, its better to put the solution in first post:rolleyes:
most people have same problem:up:

Hello i have downloaded and installed this mod and is working perfect. Am also getting a good response by my members because of such a nice tool added to forum. I am having a little problem while integrating google adsense in my software download section. I have selected to show ads after the first post in the thread but when i do a post (post the description and link of software) in the download section then no ads are displayed there after my post.

Can you please tell me how can i display ads after every first post in the download mod.

Thanks

Thank you bro working 100% With vb 3.6.5

Hi,

When you say is that just the MEMBERINFO template or is it in one with them?

Sorry i am just lost on finding it.

It's the basic MEMBERINFO template that every vBulletin has by default.

I'm on step 3 but I don't get it. I've uploaded all files ect.. But there is no downloads directory on my web server, and in the upload folder you have download, and then a document. Please could you explain further to me.

Regards Jason :)

DownloadsII comments hasn't got anything to do with forum posts and the DownloadsII code isn't listening to such a first post setting from another mod we don't know :p

DownloadsII is fully templated, so you can add Google AdSense code pretty easily. The comment bit template is downloads_file_comment. At the end of the template code of downloads_file_comment, you can add for example:
so it will display your AdSense code after the first comment.

Nice to hear, but I suggest you to upgrade to vB 3.6.8 PL2 for security reasons :)

In the first step you uploaded the content of the upload folder (not the folder itself) to your vBulletin forums directory.

So downloads.php is uploaded to the same folder where you can find index.php, forumdisplay.php, showthread.php and the other vBulletin root files. The upload folder also contais a downloads folder (with an index.html in it), so after uploading all the content the downloads folder is standing next to for example the vBulletin includes folder on your FTP.

Step 3: You just give that downloads folder a chmod to 777 permissions (right click on it in your FTP program, choose for chmod, "file permissions", "file properties", or something like that and give the folder the 777 permissions).

I've done it all, but I'm getting a white page when I type the url with downloads on the end.

Regards Jason :)

You can't access the downloads folder, you need to access downloads.php in your browser :)

Like for example http://www.yoursite.com/forums/downloads.php (if you have vBulletin installed in a directory called forums)

Btw: click install to receive future update notifications.

I just installed a fresh copy on a vb 3.6.8 forum and have a couple of questions.

When I go to download.php it shows at the bottom:
Downloads: 4294967295

Which is a bit impossible for a freshly installed mod.

Secondly, when important a file from a link it needs to know the size in bytes, whats the reason for this? Does it go and fetch the file and add it so it needs the size, or does it just link it, and the size is for user reference on the board?

Many thanks for a great mod :)

Iv done that but im getting the 500 Internal Server error.

The file is there FACT.

So i dont know why its not coming up with anything.

thank you for responsce, i went into ftp replaces file and when i tried uploading new product selecting overight i got this error message

---------

A conflict was detected in the bitfields. You cannot continue with the installation of this product until this has been fixed. The conflicts found were:

* Bitfield Collision: prefixrequired = credits_cantearn
-----------------------

was wondering hwo i could fix this...

is it working with 3.7 beta 3?

1. That's pretty strange, never heard of such a bug before :p
   Go to the dl_main table using phpMyAdmin and set the downloads field to 0 :)
   or run this query:
   [SQL]UPDATE dl_main SET `downloads`= 0[/SQL]
   
2. You can leave the size field empty if you want. It's only for user reference (DownloadsII will display "file size: unknown" if it's empty).
   If you upload files, it's filled in for you automatically of course.

That's a problem with your server, not a DownloadsII problem.
Try reuploading and overwriting all the php, xml, ... files of DownloadsII on your FTP. Also reimport the XML (with the overwrite option on).

There are some other people having this problem also (link, link 2, ...). This is a problem with your credits addon, not with DownloadsII. You need to uninstall the credits addon and remove all files of it from your FTP.

Yes, except for the optional memberinfo template edits as the 3.7 member page has been revamped completely :)

on the download page it says "add" do you know where i can remove that name and change it "Upload files here"

will there be a new version of this for 3.7?

DownloadsII is fully phrased at the frontend, so just go to Languages & Phrases in your AdminCP, find the phrase and change it. It's inside the Downloads phrase type category and has got the dl2_add varname.

This version also works with vBulletin 3.7 (except for the optional profile template changes) :)

thanks alot

How to I add a thumbnail to files?

After adding a file (with it's file name, description, link or upload, ...) you will see an image upload form at the bottom of the file page.

ooo lovely thanks for the fast response!

Is there any way to make this system use FTP instead of PHP for uploads? I people uploading game modifications and trailers, that have files over 100 MB, and php isn't really a great option for that (timeouts, memory limit issues etc)

Yes i would like to know also..

also in this attachment

You have a download image instead of download text. how would I do this?

That's not easily possible at this moment. The only other solution is the import feature in the AdminCP.

It's there by default: /images/buttons/download.gif, but you need to upload it also to the buttons folders of your other styles if you aren't using the default images folder.
