Is there any way to require x amout of posts to be able to download files?

Thanks alot

vBc

You've got the button in the wrong directory. It should be in

http://www.connecting-gamers.com/for...s/download.gif :D

Ahhh, is that why half of my images are not showing lol, thank you so much!!!!!

David.

The download image needs to be placed in the buttons folder of the style you are using. By default it is placed in the main buttons folder for the default style.

Easy fix. Just find the buttons folder for the style you are using IE /images/style_name/buttons and place the download image there.

cheers

Make a group with auto-promotion at x posts. Set that group with download permissions.

is it possible to only allow admins and mods to upload and add to it, i want to use this for allowing users to download certain things i want to add there. i don't want users to be able to add things. is this possible?

Yes, you can change that in the usergroup manager.

Yes, I have it like this on my forums. Just edit the usergroup permissions. :)

is there a branding free option?

Has download rating stopped working for anyone else since upgrading to 5.1?

lovely, installed on 3.8 RC2 board, works like a charm..

Tx.. Installed.

can anyone tell me how to increase the file size for uploading, i followed the instructions in the post provided using a .htaccess but all that did was give me an Error on every page i went to?

can someone provide any hints or clues as to what i did wrong or what i need to do?

Basically i opened notepad and added the code it said, changed it to 1000 on both lines and then saved it as just .htaccess i then uploaded it to the forums folder where my Download.php is located and it showed as HTaccees.HTACCESS file, but all it did was screw up my board. what did i do wrong?

EDIT: would it be possible to allow users to add a small logo or banner to their downloads so when a user has clicked on a file to view the author/description and the download link, they get to see a picture (so people can screenshot it to show what it looks like etc or to have a logo/icon?

You need to contact your webhost. Anybody suggesting how to do php overrides here is taking a pot shot in the dark about what host you use and how your host has the server setup. Check your webhosts forums, the info is almost always there, if not a email asking how to change php values on a per directory basis will do the trick.

Ok, thanks for the info. Ar you talking abou tweaking the downloads mod or my skin?

Trying to customize the layout and look of the downloads page and running into some issues. I am working on the xhtml output. If you check the panel bit its meant to be a list item where as its outputting as a tr> etc. The panel sidebar is working fine but its just the actual panels "bits" that isnt being applied.

So, In summary i am changing the downloads_panel_bit, but its having no effect. i changed the downloads_panel_side no problem but for some reason the panel bit is possessed by a demon spawn and refuses to apply. I'm not using any caching currently.

Any ideas? Beuller.....Beuller?

Click the "Update Counters" link to empty the cache ;)

errummm

Under AdminCP->Maintenence and the category "update counters" or one of the plethora of options under that category?

It's not in the AdminCP, but in the frontend (at the top right, below the navbar of this screenshot).

I am such a dork. I knew that but totally forgot about it.

Thanks so much for the help.

I noticed upgrading erased the list of top contributors. Not a bid deal really, but thought I'd mention it.

Is it possible, to get a full list of all comments made so far in ACP? Would be a lot easier to keep an eye on them.

Also try the "Update Counters" link to empty the cache :p

please dear,

look tis post

I'm sorry, but I don't have the time for this.

You can do this as well:
Go to your "AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Download / Upload Languages" and select your language and DownloadsII as the product. When you downloaded the language backup, you can update DownloadsII safely and you can reimport the language backup afterwards.

But as far as I know, product updates aren't deleting your phrase translations normally ...

sorry to be a bother, i wish to change the Collapsed_category_collapsed.gif that is used for the download icon in the category selection bit. i can't seem to find it in any of the Downloads templates, unless i missed it somewhere. it seems to add my category icons. please see attached screeny for what i'm on about.

It's in the ecdownloads_download_pic phrase ;)

where is the subcategories output stored?

i can see the variables been outputted in the td, but where those are coming from?
Its adding a <br> and wrapping the second line in an <i>

I also want to remove the sub categories text
ie Sub Categories:\

You can find it in /includes/class_downloads.php ;)

Thats did it, thank you sir.

Now, since we are on the endless questions train, are the sub categories unlimited or is nesting limited to 2? I did a 3rd level sub cat and it is showing up under the 2nd level for some reason.

All sub-cats will be shown, the level doesn't matter.

For example:

- Cat 1 (will show sub-cats 2, 3, 4)
-- Cat 2 (will show sub-cats 3, 4)
--- Cat 3 (will show sub-cat 4)
---- Cat 4

hi jelle :)
is it possible to alter the system so that it only shows the immediate child sub categories, rather than all levels? having all levels displayed is confusing for the user and ends up being really cramped if there are lot of sub categories on the 3rd level. any help / suggestions would be most appreciated!
thanks,
chris

That's planned for v6 ;)

aha :) i noticed on your demo that its running v6. do you have a rough estimate of when v6 will be available, as well as a changelog of what is coming? I dont mean to be a pain in the butt, i am just trying to guage whether i should wait for the new version, or whether its possible to mod the system to only show the immediate child..
thanks again for taking the time to reply!
cheers,
chris

Thanks for answering so many of these tough questions so quickly.

Sorry to bring up a old topic, but did you have any suggestions on this question I posted earlier in the thread?

i uploaded a file which is named in Chinese，and it(the browser)just went blank，how to solve it?it‘s ok to upload english named files.

It's mainly a full recode as v5 is a fork of the old ecDownloads v4.
New stuff: updated lay-out (front-end and AdminCP), report button, more advanced search, use of the quick reply for comments, ...
There's no ETA. Some parts aren't finished yet.

Run this query:
[SQL]UPDATE dl_main SET `downloads` = 0[/SQL]
(Don't forget to add your table prefix if necessary.)

Hmm, I don't know. I will look into this after my exams. Pretty difficult to test it though :D

thanks alot, if you need a Chinese named file, i can give you one :)

Hi Jelle,
Thanks for the update :) We've managed to find a way to rearrange things that will work for now and then later when its time for upgrade will just be a matter off rearranging things :)
Thanks again for taking the time to respond and have a super evening (or day ;0)
Cheers,
Chris

thanks ^_^

this product is Arabic
5.1.0

Ok, I must be a total moron...

I installed DownloadsII within days of setting up my forum last fall...it's been a dream... easy to use, easy to setup...and users were even using it ( a little).

However... yesterday, a user PMd me and said that uploads were reporting "Maximum Upload Limit Reached". It's the first file the user tried to upload that day, and the second he's ever attempted.

I also tried... and I get the same error... Downloading tells me I've exceeeded my daily limit.

Now I SWEAR there have been no setting changes. the DLII settings for my Administrator group is -1 down the line. The file I'm trying to upload (and download) is under 10k. The only change made to the forum settings since setup was going from 3.7.1 to 3.7.2 when that came out.

I have checked every setting I can find: DLII settings, Usergroup Settings, read the posts in here about how these problems are most commonly caused by settings at the host (which I had them check...goof with...and no change).

There are a grand total of 4 files in the file area totalling less than 35K.

I've got vbulletin v3.7.2 and DLII v5.0.8 and DLII Create threads v.1.0.2.
(Since my original post, I have upgraded to 5.1.0 and still the same problem...)

:confused: Alex, can I buy a clue for 100?
