2. Okay cool and to help out, this site is using DownloadsII it appears and they have implemented pretty much everything im looking for, so maybe if you take a look at this site, it will help you to implement some of the features.

Code:

http://www.mpcdownloads.com/forums/downloads/Age-of-empires/HODXP.zip/3957.html

This link above will show you the disclaimer they have integrated somehow.

**I also was wondering if you could possibly make the links either like they are and vbseo compliant as well. If you need to know more on this let me know, as a lot more people are using vbseo it would be great to have it default.** (The above link has been made like that because of vbseo)

3. That would be great. It would really help out, and when you do it, it may be wise to have it usergroup permissioned as well. eg. only mods can change the status.

4. I was trying to get a search box like the one I showed you in the pic with the drop down menu with those extra options. The one in the above link works. on my site www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/files.html the search works, but the drop down menus do not work. here is the code I used.

Code:

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: searchbox -->



<table cellspacing="3" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="tborder"><table class="tborder" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

 <tbody><tr>

  <td class="thead" colspan="2" align="center"><span class="smallfont">Search Downloads</span></td>

 </tr>

 <tr>

  <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-position: right center; background-repeat: repeat-y;" align="center" background="images/newskin/misc/rowbg3.jpg">

<form action="./downloads.php?do=search" method="post">

         <input type="text" name="query" maxlength="75" size="20" />

         <br />

        <p><select name="where"><option value="1">Title</option><option value="2">Description</option><option value="3">Author</option><option value="4" selected="selected">Search All</option></select>&nbsp;        

        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_search']}" /></p></form>

</td></tr>

</tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>







<!-- END TEMPLATE: searchbox -->

Also What is the code you have used to create the boxes around things eg. latest files. As that is the box I would like to get around the search box.

5. Thanks

6. Thanks, although that may be a possibility for now. Once I start adding around 50 categories I think it will be a bit messy maybe.
Is there any easier way? or a possibility of it being easier in the next version?

Thanks for your reply and hope im not being to much trouble.

1. I'm sorry but this isn't possible at the moment.
2. I had a different idea of what you meant (I thought you meant a full page with a disclaimer and such a checkbox, but you mean it on the same page). Just replace the download buttons with a code like this:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function checkCheckBoxes(disclaimercheck)

{

        if (disclaimercheck.disclaimer.checked == false)

        {

                alert ("You have to agree to the disclaimer if you want to download.");

                return false;

        }

        return true;

}

//-->

</script> 

<form name="disclaimercheck" method="get" action="downloads.php" onsubmit="return checkCheckBoxes(this);">

        <input type="hidden" name="do" value="file">

        <input type="hidden" name="id" value="$file['id']">

        <input type="hidden" name="act" value="down">

        <input type="checkbox" name="disclaimer"> I have read and understand the <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?page=disclaimer">Disclamer</a>.

        <br /><input type="submit" class="button" value="Download">

</form>

4. This site isn't running DownloadsII, but the older ecDownloads of Ron1n (a modified one). Such dropdowns won't work, because there is no option to do such search actions (you can only do a general search at the moment). The next big release will contain a more advanced search system, this is on our todo list.
6. The way to get around this requires modifying the DownloadsII PHP code a bit harder. Normally I've got some time this weekend, so I will try to send you a pm with some custom code to do it ;)

Thanks heaps, I really appreciate all the time you are putting in. and I will try out the above code now. Thanks.

Edit:After trying to place that code in different spots, replacing code that I think was the downloads button code and so on, I got this same error message when trying to save the template

Code:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:



Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/****/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3593) : eval()'d code on line 61



This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

I was trying to edit this template: downloads_file

Which templates should I edit, and what part of the code do I replace. I'll keep trying but I think im going about this the wrong way lol.

Thanks.

no removing the 90% did not solve it. I think the problem somehow is with the downloads_wrapper_top template.

See what happens if you set admincp->downloads->settings-> 'Display "Tops" on all pages?' to "Yes". That will cause the downloads_wrapper_top template to not be used when viewing the file details.

no luck

the only way so far I was able to display was by adding </td></tr></table> at the very top of downloads_wrapper_top template, but that messes up the bottom, past navbar

I've been using this hack for a while, and thanks by the way, but I would love to see a future enhancement.

Hopefully this is fairly easy since I saw the PM modification for it, but what I would like to see is that each time a file is added/uploaded, it creates a thread in a specific forum announcing the upload with description, link ,etc.

If no one had the time, I'd be willing to contribute to a fund. ;)

I have a table that starts at the very top of header wraps around entire page and closes at bottom of footer

I don't know why it is behaving like that just for those two files, do=file and do=add, but i sort of got around that by closing the table at the very top of the wrapper_top template and restarting all over again.

It does not display 100% properly, but at least I got my logo to display.

These are the only two problematic display sitewide, with any style.

You have to edit downloads_file indeed ;)

This code should do the trick:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function checkCheckBoxes(disclaimercheck)

{

        if (disclaimercheck.disclaimer.checked == false)

        {

                alert ("You have to agree to the disclaimer if you want to download.");

                return false;

        }

        return true;

}

//-->

</script> 

<form name="disclaimercheck" method="get" action="downloads.php" onsubmit="return checkCheckBoxes(this);">

        <input type="hidden" name="do" value="file">

        <input type="hidden" name="id" value="{$file['id']}">

        <input type="hidden" name="act" value="down">

        <input type="checkbox" name="disclaimer"> I have read and understand the <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?page=disclaimer">Disclamer</a>.

        <br /><input type="submit" class="button" value="Download">

</form>

The disclaimer thing is awesome thanks. :)

One thing though, to get it to work right (so the download button will not work on the file listing page you need to make a couple of changes in downloads.php

find

Code:

$filethumb = '<a href="./downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'&amp;act=down" '.$target.'><img src="'.$dl->url.$thumb_x['thumb'].'" align="middle" title="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_download'].'&nbsp;'.$file['name'].'" alt="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads'].'" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;';

and change it too

Code:

$filethumb = '<a href="./downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'" '.$target.'><img src="'.$dl->url.$thumb_x['thumb'].'" align="middle" title="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_download'].'&nbsp;'.$file['name'].'" alt="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads'].'" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;';

Then you need to find

Code:

$download = '<a href="./downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'&amp;act=down" '.$target.'><img src="'.$stylevar[imgdir_button].'/'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_download_pic'].'" width="15" height="15" align="middle" title="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_download'].'&nbsp;'.$file['name'].'" alt="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads'].'" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;';

and replace it with

Code:

$download = '<a href="./downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'" '.$target.'><img src="'.$stylevar[imgdir_button].'/'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_download_pic'].'" width="15" height="15" align="middle" title="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_download'].'&nbsp;'.$file['name'].'" alt="'.$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads'].'" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;';

This stops the images being download links and the little giff downloading the fiel so people have now go to go into the download file page and click on the disclaimer tick box...

Hope this helps...
