does it have to have certain rights?... chmod?

i made it 60MB and it still doesnt upload :(

Seems really good, i'll try it later :)

No, just the standard chmod rights (readable). Watch out for the strange file name, maybe you wrote it wrong. And it needs to be uploaded in the vB forum root (where you can find downloads.php), not in the downloads folder. That's it.

Although webhosts can disable the .htaccess method, so you better contact your webhosting company.

looks ok...
it also shows as a HTACCESS filetype...

K, i asked the serverdude to edit the uploadable size to 64MB.
So i should be able to upload now right?



Yup.... still no go :(
It just says "waiting for www.glcoti.com......." and the progress/load bar stays empty.

Any ideas??
Need me to post some code?

Thanks for this mod, excellent!

I'm trying to increase the upload limit (yawn you think).

I've tried everything that's been suggested. If I put the 2 lines in the /forums/.htaccess file I get an error like in this thread. If I comment out the lines it works again.

I've checked my shared server logs and this is the error that's generated...

Any help is appreciated. :)

Thanks

This notice already says enough, your webhost does not allow you to use this setting in a .htacces file. You have to contact your host to increase the max file uploadsize.

I have went threw all the instructions to install this

I have gotton to the part where i need to set the options up in the 'downloads' under my admin CP...

I Dont have that category. 'Downloads',

I dont see anywhere to add it.

So far i have uploaded the files in the upload folder , added the xml file, and set directory permissions of the downloads folder to full control

Restarted the IIS service, and i dont have the downloads category in my admin CP, any help?

You also need to set post_max_size next to upload_max_filesize ;)

You can view those server settings in your AdminCP index: "PHP Max Post Size" and "PHP Maximum Upload Size".

Are you sure you uploaded includes/xml/cpnav_ecdownloads.xml correctly? That's the (only) file which controls the AdminCP menu.

argh... max postsize is 8 mb :P
*calls serverdude again*

any idea on how to place adsense banners in the download module. like at the top and also at the bottom.

thanks

You can find the vBadvanced CMPS module in the adv_portal_ecdownloads template ;)

So there you can add for example
somewhere.

hi

if i am not using the vBadvanced CMPS module, how do i go about with the integration

thanks

Now you are confusing me :p
You were talking about the "download module" and the only module we've got is the vBadvanced CMPS module (add-on).

Where do you want to place the ads?

You can place them almost everywhere as all the layout can be found in the Downloads template group.

Thanks Black Tiger, I've already contacted my host and they have increased it to 10MB.

:)

You're welcome. Nice to hear you have a supportive host!

If Pirat3 contacts you with a fix for his "blind type SQL injection" security issue, don't use the fix he provides. It's inserting a gigantic security hole into DownloadsII and not fixing anything ...

I already had very heavy doubts about the existance of any sql injection issue in Downloads II, the more he did not provide any prove of anything.

Thanks for the warning RS Jelle!
For all other people, never accept or apply fixes to mods without consideration and/or approval of the coder of the mod and/or the vbulletin.org team. Let them check things first!

Hi!
I'm afraid that ask too much for a free and opensource product, but please do smth with sql queries. I have more then 30 on many pages of downloads. It's terrible, as I'm using VPS and mysql usually fells down every evening:mad:

===
But still big thanks for such a great product.

On the stats page the the date of the downloads is a day off. When I set my GMT time under CP -> User options to GMT it reports the right day. The days I upload the files are all correct but the Stats page reports it wrong. Is this a bug or something designed in?

Any word on if this works with 3.7?

Already fixed in v6 ;)

But I don't think DownloadsII is the cause of your MySQL server going down. Then you should have really a lot of files. How much of files do you have in your downloads section?

The stats page is giving the download bandwidth stats, not the upload stats. So if today no one already downloaded a file (uploaded, not a linked one), today won't be displayed. Normally it should work fine.

Yes, except for the optional profile template edits.

Question, I just noticed you mentioned version 6 above. Approx how far away is this version? will it be 3.7 ready when it is released?

Thanks.

Don't think i am using the the vbadvanced module :x
sorry for the confusion


for instance in download .php, i would like to have the ads at the top as well as at the end of the page. I have the header ad as its being displayed throughtout my forum. But how to i display at the end of this page.

and also i would like to have an advert just above the comment boxes.

Thanks

Is there anyway to make a member only accessible to use download once they've reach certain no of post?

Just to clarify that was NOT my fix, it was just a report I had from a hacker and he gave me a fix in which I forwarded it to the owner of mod.

Sorry for any confusion guys.

I'm getting an "Internal Server Error" on my forum when implementing that code in my .htaccess files. :( I have some vbseo rewrite rules in the .htaccess file from before. Any idea why this happened? What should I do wo be able to post the bigger files?

SGL.

Is there a RSS Feed for the newest downloads?

when i deleted the category the subcategory still exist...
yeah i would love for a rss feed

Jelle?
Any news about the new update?

Anyone can help?

I ran into an issue...one of my users is trying to upload a .cfg file...I have 'cfg' listed in the allowed file types but they keep getting this error:

All my settings are correct, I can duplicate the issue...I'm curious to why that file type won't upload...

It would be nice if there was a mod of this that used the existing attachment system too.

for example:
-the filetype permissions are the same for attachments as they are for downloads
-when uploading an attachment for a thread or post you can select which catagory the attachment should be (would go in default catagory otherwise)

itd be a cool way of being able to search and browse through all the files on the forums.

either way, nice.. keep it up and i enjoy it!

please keep me updated because as soon as this functionality is added I WANT IT!

Hi, great MOD. I see there is a setting in the Usergroups to allow access to categories... it wants 1,2,3,4 etc. But how am I suppose to know which is 1 or 2 or whatever? I go to the categories and edit them, but there is no number associated with the category. When I list out the categories to edit, a drop down shows them, but no number. Is that what I am suppose to go by? I have a couple of categories in the middle of this list that I only want certain Usergroups access, but not everyone... and I can't establish what their category number is...

Hover your cursor over the link to the category and look at the status bar at the bottom of your browser, it should show you the category number there.

Or click on 'Category Tree'.

sorry for my english but i'm italian.

spiders google yahoo .... see the file upload in this mod???

Hi,

I have a problem and I was wondering if anyone knows a way round it. :)

I'm on a shared hosting and my upload limit is 10MB. But I have unlimited ftp upload.

Is there anyway that I could upload a large fine via ftp and still have it showing in the downloads section?

For example,

Could I upload a 1MB file.
FTP to my server, replace the rar file in /downloads with the larger file but keep the same filename.

Would the new file be downloadable on the forum?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Glen

In that case your host does not allow you to make these entry's in .htaccess files. You have to contact your host to increase the upload filesize.

@Iettafune: Yes, if you allow guests viewing the files it will. You can also use the vbSEO Google/Yahoo sitemap generator, it has a downloads.php addon in there. This sitegenerator mod can be used stand-alone so you don't need vbSEO installed.

Probably you can but there is a better solution. Create a separate directory on your webserver, for example http://www.yoursite.com/large/ or something like that.
FTP the 10mb file into that directory.
Then go to your "add file" option in Downloads II and use the "link to file" option.
The only thing you have to do is to add the filesize in bytes yourself, but that's easy.
Suppose your file is 10,2mb then do 10,2x1024x1024 and you should have the size in bytes, but leave of the numbers after the komma, so if the output is 10695475,2 just put 10695475 as the filesize. It works great.
When you have to delete the file, remember to delete them from downloads II and also from that directory because linked files are not deleted automatically (ofcourse).

where is this addon???


ps: this mod run on 3.7.0??

so...no one has any ideas on the issue I am having?
