If anyone here is interested to do this and has the time...An addon for vBAdvanced CMPS will be really appreicated with this mod.

after some work, it looks like I can get all 4,000 movies / files from pafiledb into this script. I like the script, its fast and works well with vb. one question. is there any plans to ad Subcategories of Subcategories there are some sections that are a few deep on PAfiledb. if not, would you be willing to add it for a fee? thanks

Hi there,

I can't be bothered to trail through 14 pages, but I've gone through the last 3 or 4 and I've noticed 1 thing about the extensions. If you want to upload different extensions other than .rar, .zip and .gz, simply do a search for ".rar" in the following files and you'll see this:

if ($lext != ".rar" && $lext != ".zip" && $lext != ".gz") {

$errors['message'] .= '<center>You may only upload .rar, .zip, and .gz</center><br>';

You can simply add more extensions by adding $lext != ".EXTENSION". Remember, add $lext != ".EXTENSION" && if your adding more than 1 extension.

:: Files To Edit ::
dl_add.php
dl_edit.php

As a future release, would it be possible to edit these in the AdminCP rather than have to manually edit files?

I've had no problems installing this at all. However, when I upload the files.. no files are uploaded. It basically "makes" a 0kb file in the downloads dir.

A request: I have a number of files which are around 700MB each. Instead of uploading this via your "uploader" (this will be impossible anyway, it will simply timeout), I'm requesting the ability to link to the file but still be able to do the same as you can now (e.g. description, author etc), and also keep the URL still hidden.

An Error: You can simply not download. I get this error when I try downloading:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.


I'm sorry to be rude, great plugin, but it seems you've put too little effort into releasing something that we can install straight away. You say the phrases arn't needed? How can you even think about releasing a plugin without releasing the phrases as well? Some people may not mind, but I certainly do. I'd rather see a nice message saying "Thank you, your categorie has been added" rather than "Error: The phrase 'categorie_added' cannot be found because the author was to lazy to release it so please don't complain"..

Again, I hope my last comment didn't sound rude, it was intended to.

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks... I was just renaming my files to .jpg.zip so they'd be uploaded and then in the file title named the author .jpg so when they downloaded it, it read .jpg.zip :lick:

man this hack is bed because ron1n isn't even here to help i got two problems with it. and when i asked question. no one helped me. but i like the look of it. i would love to install this but no one helps around here. so i have to install another hack. so thats why i dont like it

What is/was your problem?

There u go thats the problem

Did you chmod the download dir to 777 and also did you make sure the paths are correct?

yea i did the chmod. but i didn't add any path or paths. it doesn't say nothing in inctruction

Hey,

open_basedir has to be OFF in php.ini also :)

Matt

the paths to your download folder via your cpanel and your site root.

cPanel: /home/user/html/downloads/
site root: /downloads/

In your cpanel rename "user" to your username you use to access the cpanel (if you have one)

look here in the instructionsystem 1.0e:
Setting the 'upload url' this is the actual path, i.e. 'home/public_html/downloads/'
Setting the 'download url' this is the path from the domain, i.e. '/downloads/'

this musst be changed in the download_config.php in includes here at this hack.

Very nice! But definately needs more allowable file extensions for upload/download.

please have a look first on this post:

everythink ok?

Got a problem!

The install seemed to go fine, but I'm having a little trouble with the page itself. The category display list is fine, but if I try clicking on one of the category names, I just get a blank white page.

You can see the problem here if you try clicking on one of the 4 categories:

http://www.enworld.org/downloads.php?

I'm sure I've just done something wrong, but I can't figure out what it is. Anyone got any idea?

Thanks!

Thanks Tekram! Been reading so many threads sometimes I just miss them.

Question about adding extensions... If I add ".txt" or ".doc" when one clicks on the download link it opens in the browser. What changes need to be made to make it promt the save file to location window instead?

It looks good. I would love to use it. The only thing though is I have over 2 gigs worth of downloads, many of which are drivers, and maybe around 3,000 different files. Is there any way to mass add these?

Hi,

.TXT and .DOC open in the browser by default (in I.E anyway). The only way around this is if the person right clicked it and clicked "Save As" :)

This would be possible if the maker of the plugin added a scan-dir feature, meaning you choose the dir, and it scans the files and adds them automatically. The problem I see with that is actually giving the name, author, description etc of the files, but it'd save time I agree :)

Matt

Hi Ron1n and thanks for an awesome hack of yours:)

Still, after reading 15 pages of hints and tricks, i still haven`t come up with any good solutions for my problem... :(

I`ve installed it without any errors, displaying the downloads.php just fine, so well for the uploading bit, but when i try to download, i get the errro page:
Okey, i have readed several places about url`s and cmod`ing... here goes:

My download_config.php displays this:
And yes, i chmod the downloads/ dir to 777

Still i get that error message...

but if i try to login thrue FTP, and look at the chmod ON files, it get strange...

The upload chmod the files to 600 !!!
It`s not strange then why i can`t download it.. hehe

But why?! And where does this hack do anything with chmod`s ??

I`m not sure what the solution for this is, so again after reading all pages i din`t find any answer on this. (If im not blind, that is).

Hope you have a answer for me here ?!

btw.. uses version 1.0e

thanks.

I have the same problem https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=71 there is only no solution for :disappointed:
Everything have been well established for 100%, I have tested the other download mod, and I have no problems with that.

Is this hack supported anymore? Ronin hasn't even been on the site since the 13th so I'm guessing not. It will be a great shame if this gets abandoned, I'd been searching for something like this for ages and even went as far as buying a commercial script but that failed miserably when it came to integrating with vB. :(

i've also waited a long time for support,but nothing happenend..but i found something like this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60403

much more comfortable and good support!thumbs up

trys these

make it read
the other one is

change
chmod the downloads/ dir to 777
to this
chmod the downloads/ dir to 755

I've installed this mod (looks great!) but when I try to upload a file I get a javascript alert: The document contains no data.

The upload form is completely filled out. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Another user trying to upload got a SQL error, which generated thisemail to me:

this mod looks great! does it support external URL's instead of file uploads?

Nope. I doubt its planned either seeing as the maker has gone off on one..

yea whats up whit this?I been waiting :(

yany one!?


Is there a way to reset counter for downloads...??

Ron1n dude!! come support ur mod man..... :)

I've asked for the same thing over at vba boards, but no one's bitten on it yet. I think it would be great to have.

I was thinking of an add on that showed perhaps the top 3 or 5 latest additons (uploads), and top 3 or 5 most popular downloaded files.

Thank you for trying, but it din`t help at all.. :(

Just the same as alwyas..

Thanks again :)

Cyberfreak

i think theres a major bug with this
if u need to restore your database it hangs on file_cat
i think its due to the word desc for the file description
desc means descending in sql

anyone else seeing this?

so is ron1n planning on updating this mod like he said he was?? It would be nice to see support of other extensions.

Read through the threads that was posted.

Why would we want to trail through 16 pages for a simply answer;

Yes or No.

It only takes reading one page.. any one of the 16. Pick a page, any page, and read the post at the top.

Thanks for helping people out :D.

Well, thats personal preference. I rather hate mods that make me install phrases because it is a waste of my time to do so. If you would like, i'll email you the phrases for versioin 2.0 in about a week and you can make the phrases including a tutorial showing users how to add them. Does that sound fair?

Now, a note to all the users about problems uploading files. You are having trouble because you have not filled in your directories accurately or your server permissions are not set correctly. I have not seen any other problems that caused the upload errors. Everyone always comes back after a while and posts (or PM's me) saying "it works, i just had to fill out ___ differently."

I will admit, these settings are not for your junior webhost, because they require knowledge of how to traverse directories, but I couldnt help that. I wanted so very much to be able to allow users to upload to a directory outside of their forum directory (i.e. elitecoders.org/downloads/ instead of elitecoders.org/forum/downloads) but for the next release I will simply resort to forcing downloads to /forum/downloads and eliminating all user setup.

As to why I have not released or been here. Frankly, that is no ones business, but I have been busy with school, paid projects, and college visits. vBDownloads is one of the things at the bottom of my list in order of importance. That being said, I expect to make more progress this weekend, and may release a nice treat next weekend to a few beta testers. After they assure me that it works, I will release to the public.

But still Ron1n, i have tried what u say several times, several ways and still it chmod the files to 600.

Even got help from sys admin of hosts, they din`t find a better way to fix it either.

I`m not a n00b to php and moding vB files, so i have looked true your files to understand what you have done to make this. Haven`t find anything about chmod.

Maybe im just blind, but not a junior on all this.

Will let it be to see if there is someone else that comes up with an solution for this, or sorry to say this (but of the slack of support) i will uninstall it.

I've run across a problem uploading files that appears to be related tofilesize. The php.ini on our server limits file uploads to 2MB or less,but if I try to upload a file that's 1.6 MB it fails with either"Document contains no data" or a "page not found" error -- neither avery elegant way of failing. It would be good to include a filesizecheck on uploads, if that's possible... or at the very least add anadmin option to set a limit that is displayed on the upload screen("Maximum upload file size is xx") so that users know not to tryuploading anything larger.

Also there are a few spelling errors on some of your pages.

• On the Add file page, recomended should be recommended (two m's).
• On the Stats, Search and My Files pages, comming should be spelled coming (one m). Personally, I have an aversion to "coming soon" type pages. I'd rather you left that out until it was really there.
• In the User Info box, you used Your when you should've used You're or You are. Personally, I'd rather just see Logged in as nnnnn.

One other note, if you add phrases, it makes it 1000 times easier toadapt to other languages and it makes it easier for people to changethe wording of things like "You're logged in as... " to simply "Loggedin as..." to suit their preferences. I know it's more work to code, butin the end, you'll get much appreciation!

All in all I just want to say thank you for what is shaping up to be anexcellent mod. I really like the layout and the work you've put intoit. Keep up the great work!

I just have a question. I added file extensions and some of them are image extenstions for wallpapers. Though, i feel there is a problem. It shows the full path to where the image is. So, anyone can just freely download what ever file they want from going to the forum.com/forum/downloads/ directory. Is there anyway to prevent this?

For everyone having the CHMOD 666 Forbidden File problem - here's the solution. :)

Find this code in includes/dl_add.php

And add this code directly under it:

This will CHMOD the uploaded to file to 755 and thus eliminate the 666 bug. :)
