You can fix this issue (the security token problem) by editing or creating a PHP.ini file. I had the same problem and saw that it was answered on page 200 of this thread. See below (edit the "post_max_size" to a larger size then 8M). Worked for me.

Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.

I've managed to create a simple RSS feed for mine. You just need to create 3 files.

Mine can be seen working by clicking the large RSS button here

The code for the files follow:

rss.php

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php 



error_reporting(E_ALL); 



$siteURL = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; 

$feedTitle = "FM-Base.co.uk - Latest FM2009 Downloads"; 

$rssVersion = 2.0; 



function generateFeed ( $homeURL, $title, $version = 2.0) { 

// a little check for the arguments thrown in. 

if (func_num_args() < 2) 

exit ("Insufficant Parameters"); 



include 'config.php';

include 'opendb.php'; 



// only select the columns you need, thus reducing the work the DBMS has to do. 

$query = "SELECT name, description, date, id, purgatory FROM vb3_dl_files WHERE purgatory = 0 ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5";

// execute the query

// check for the number of rows returned before doing any further actions. 

if (mysql_num_rows ($results) == 0){ 

exit("Nothing to Show Here"); 

} 



else { 

$rss = ""; 

// tell the browser we want xml output by setting the following header.

$rss .= "<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?>\r\n";



// set the RSS version using the version parameter

// each RSS feed has a channel and a title, Using the title parameter we set the title of the feed. 

$rss .= "<channel>\r\n";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)){

} 



$rss .= "</channel>\r\n"; 

$rss .= "</rss>\r\n"; 



echo $rss; 



} 

} 



// call the function with all our settings from the top of the script 

generateFeed( $siteURL , $feedTitle, $rssVersion ); 



?>

config.php

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$dbuser = 'root';

$dbpass = '';

$dbname = 'downloads';

PHP Code:

Oh and if you want you may use the RSS button I made (attached).

Consider releasing that as an add-on for the mod.

Is it possible that bigger files (couple hundred MB) take a very long time as download to start ? I just noticed that today. Or is there anything that can be done to make that faster ? Isn?t normal for Download Scripts generally, even with big files.

I installed MEMCACHE on my Server, was already not so easy when you?re no Linux freak. ;) Anyways, that works and I got a bit less drain on the CPU now but still, the time it takes before a bit bigger files actually start and you got the SAVE AS window, takes far too long. And thats just with me testing, imagine 20 people do that at the same time, don?t want to know whats going on then.

Any ideas why this script takes so long time with bigger files to actually start downloading ?

I've made a slight change to the RSS feed above. I have edited line 18. The RSS feed will now only show files that have been approved.

There are many unsupported mods here. If you think it works well, you could release it and let it up to others to decide whether it's worth installing. ;)

Ok, i think i know why this Mod is taking such a huge CPU load when using very big Files (couple hundred MB or even 1 GB or more). There are 2 ways to add files. One is uploading (adding manually) which is fine for smaller files but of course overkill with File sizes over 1 GB or so.

For that the Import function seems to be there. But, this Import function kinda makes the imported Files downloadable as stream. Which means as far as I know, anytime someone starts a download, the file will be copied from its original location and made ready for the Download. That way making it impossible to get the original Location. Problem is, anytime a download starts to copy for example a file over 1 GB is madness, thats why the CPU is going up in usage beyond normal. If many people would download that file at the same time the Webserver probably would collapse.

So the only way to add files that are that big is with manually adding a file as if one would upload it but then not to upload from the own PC but to enter the link (direct) to the File. Then the download wouldn?t start as stream but get the file from the link entered and works fast. Only problem is, that way the direct link location of that file is easy to find out in the Browser and can be used without actually going through the Website. :(

Just downloaded and installed this on my test site and all it well, extremely easy to setup and use.

Anyway, I have found one small problem....

One of the templates (editor_css) isn't cached so an unnecessary SQL call is perform. The fix for this is extremely easy:

Get your downloads.php file and open it in your favourite text editor
Find the following line@

Code:

'file' => array(

this should be around line 95
Immediately after this line enter the following (exactly as it appears here):

Code:

'editor_css',

You should now have something that looks like this:

Code:

), 'file' => array( 'editor_css', 'downloads_file', 'downloads_file_addit',
Save the file and reupload to your server

EDIT: You also need to follow these same steps for the "'add' => array(" section

Job done

There is also another feature that might prove to be somewhat annoying to end users. Lets say UserX decides to upload a file, the enter the filename, author, a really long and informative description, the file path but forgets to choose a category. They then click submit and they will get the "complete the sections marked in red" message.

The problem is that it seems the contents of the description/filepath are lost so they have to retype it all or hope that clicking back will get their description back.

tlwwolfseye

12-19-2008 09:43 AM

But this doesnt change the high CPU load with the import or starting a download which is quite large, right ? Because i think that is the result of the streaming that this Mod is working with.

Guys, installed on my board; works great. Thank you for sharing this mod with the community.

Also, I can't believe that you have supported this mod for so long without tearing your hair out. You give some stellar support and even give code to hack the mod (and people's boards) for free.

You're nutters and you should be charging money for this (or at least for support). You should also include some Paypal information in the mod text so that we can donate. I'm sure that some of the people that have installed are making money from their sites and they probably use this addon. It seems fair, to me, that you give them the opportunity to at least donate a piece of their pie.

Anyways, you guys rock.. and you're one hell of a lot nicer than I am.

Hi,

Is there a more advanced stats block made for this already? I am trying to incorporate the latest files stats on my home page which is templated in vbulletin. Adding $dpanel_latest_files just shows a single file name. I would like something more advanced like:

$Date: $Author - $Title
$Description

I've been trying to create a new function in class_downloads.php but that has proved harder than I expected.

Help, please :D

I'm posting it here as it needs some basic testing (but I'm 99% sure of its stability). If you have any problems with it, just overwrite it with the old version.

Will make me upgrade to 5.1 loose any of the old so far done settings, categories, permissions or downloads ? I would appreciate some help before I do something wrong.

P.S: Will 6.0 also work with the streaming principle which takes far too much CPU load with big files ?

NEVER uninstall-install it to upgrade: that's a reinstall and it will remove all data.

The download part of v6 is still unfinished. I'm not fully sure about it.

12-21-2008 05:27 PM

RS Jelle - Thanks for answering my above question. I did notice I typed "files" instead of fields as in "custom fields". Sorry if I confused you.

I do have another question - Is it possible to write a short script that could show the last five uploaded THUMBNAILS of files in a vbadvanced module? In other words I'd like to show the thumbnail of the file rather than the name or "text" of the latest upload. I do realize this is NOT in the current design, but I'm wondering if it's possible to code up something like that.

BTW - If your interested. Here's what I've done with your script: http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/downloads.php

Aceman

12-21-2008 05:54 PM

Found an error which could be specific to me:

When you click the download button on the information page specific to a file it goes to this link: http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/d...id=XX&act=down and the message: ERROR: File not found. shows.

XX = the number assigned to the file. (ie. 27, 43, 18, etc).

Any ideas?

RS Jelle - Thanks so much for looking into the issue I was having. I reuploaded all the files again. Rechecked ALL for file permissions and found that the folder "ec_tmp" was infact 755. I changed that to 777 and then installed the 5.1.0 update you provided on page 156.

I'm happy to report everything is now working perfectly.

If I could imposed one more question:

Is it possible to write a short script that could show the last five uploaded THUMBNAILS of files in a vbadvanced module? In other words I'd like to show the thumbnail of the file rather than the name or "text" of the latest upload. I do realize this is NOT in the current design, but I'm wondering if it's possible to code up something like that.

In fact it would be IDEAL if I could show the thumbnail for the top 5 files in each of the two categories (latest files and Most Popular Files) ON the downloads page (vbadvanced would be a bonus). Is that possible?

There are code changes to the downloads.php file (and other php files in the package). As always, you just need to overwrite the old DownloadsII files on your FTP with the new ones.

Nothing except what's in the changelog, nothing visible (except the vB 3.7 integration). HTTPS support isn't visible :)
