You can set all that in your Usergroup Permissions. Limit your regular users permissions. Then use vB's subscription service to where they have to subscribe to be put into a usergroup that has unlimited permissions.

Great that's what I figured..Going to play around with this

One of my members just uploaded a zipped folder in the downloads section, and .zip is not one of the allowed file extensions. Any idea how this happened?

SGl.

Which image and file types are you allowing?

doc docx pdf rtf odt jpg gif png bmp ods xls - are the extensions I have allowed. I have gone through all the uploaded files now, and it has only happened this once that a zip-file have been uploaded.

SGL.

Strange. Download the zip file and try uploading it yourself.

Hey RS_Jelle, is there any time frame of when we can look out for version 6 of this mod?

I'm getting this error when trying to upload anything:

and all fields are filled. how to solve this?

I use vB3.8.2

First I was waiting for vB 4 beta, but IB seems to be doing very strange things. I will release an update (some kind of v6 lite) after June, as I currently have exams at university.

Have a look at the first post :)

Sorry to be a pain in the ..., but we still have no clue what the problem is/might be.

Don?t you have any suggestions?

Thanks

You mean another folder on your server? As categories are a database thing only :)

Set the new folder correctly in the DownloadsII settings (warning: you can't move it outside your forums folder!). Check if it has the 777 chmod (writable). Then try removing the ec_temp subfolder of the downloads folder, if it still doesn't work. Finally you could check the chown permissions.

Hi there,

thank for taking the time to help me/us.

Thats not our problem, proberbly i did?t explain it right...sorry therefore.

I?m talking about the downloaded files themself......we can?t move, rename them.

I?ve made 2 screen?s for you, hopefully you can see what i?m talking about (unfortunally our forum is in german, but i don?t think that should be a problem). And sorry for the size of the screens....the thumbnails woun?t work

thank you

I don't see anything wrong on these screens? They are normal file and edit screens?

(btw: please replace those huge images with links)

I?ve changed the pic?s ;)

The problem is, that there is no button in the upper section to make changes to the file......if I need to put the file in a different category, I can choose a category, but i can?t supmit. The same when i need to rename the file.

The button in the lower section is only for uploading a new file.....but if I press this button, when making a change in the upper section, the whole file is gone because i didn?t choose a new file to upload.

There's only one button for submitting both the text information and the file. If you linked a file, you will see the url when you edit the file. If you uploaded a file, both field will be empty, but you should be able to submit the form without filling them. Then the old, uploaded file will be preserved. Normally it can't be gone if you don't fill in the upload/link field when renaming/moving/...

If it does, please pm me your site url and a login/password with download edit permissions, so I can check it out.

I?ll give it another try

If I?m not succesfull I?ll contact you via PM ;)

Thanks

Me again ;)

I have to create a new account for you, but I woun?t manage befor tonight.

Just a quick update what happened.....moving the file went good, but when trying to download the moved file it says:
Warnung: copy(./downloads/http://) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/downloads.php (Zeile 704)
ERROR: File not found.

See you later, byee

Awesome man, I seen the new version at your site. It looks real good.

I noticed you said lite, is v6 going to be a paid version for full?

No, I'm not IB :D

I mean I'm trying to release some kind of v6 lite for vB 3.8, so before vB 4 is released.

Don't give me any of such ideas, as I don't have a student job for this summer yet :p

I checked my downloads logs and it had years of entries. So i tested using 1 day for prune logs.

It still doesn't work?

At this moment, only the downloads log is pruned. Statistics (which are not very great, I know) are meant to stay, although you can prune (or even empty) the dl_stats table yourself using phpMyAdmin.

But indeed, good idea to add a similar option for the stats log :)

working great thanks, but how do i add upload more than one files?

That's not possible at the moment, but this is on our todo list. So only one file (and unlimited images) per item at this moment.

If it's a reasonable price, I wouldn't mind paying for it. ;)

i would like to add this with vbcredits any of those, such as vbexperience etc....

can you help me out jelle?

I got a few questions for v6, hope you don't mind me asking.

1. Will there be options to allow comment approval on downloads?
2. Will there be a dead link report button?
3. Will there be comment reporting?

Ment the downloads log

I had it set to 5 days and I still had a year of downloads in the log.

I pruned it manually, it was taking up some space. Any reason why it wouldn't clear when the hourly cron job runs?

ive searched this thread and cant find any help...
i want the top contributor and all that to show on forumhome like in the options..
but it doesnt..
can you give me the manual edits plz? :D

its been 48 hours...

Hello.
I have installed DownloadsII 5.1.0.
I view now that, my forum, in downloads, not appears the credits, any credit, and I don't know if this, is because I installed a translation. How can made for appears the credits?

In other "problem", I view in other forums that, when acces to Downloads and acces to category for view downloads, all downloads appears with an icon/image, with this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/06/21.gif
And the url that call to this icon/image is:
But in my forum, not appears this icon/image, and the url that call a "some image" is:
I don't know because my url for this icon/image is different and I don't know how solved this.

Thanks and a regards.

Wanted to thank the coder for this excellent mod. We use this on our site for a while and it is very heavily used. I really LOVE the ability to set a time between downloads for different usergroups. My members have asked for a couple of things regarding this mod... So, I have a couple small questions and also a couple of small suggestions for the next version if at all possible.
Question 1:
How would I get ALL downloads to sort by Alpha?

Request 1:
I am not sure if it has been requested or not, but for the next version my members would like to be able to have alphabetical navigation. Perhaps instead of page numbers be able to jump to jump to files that begin with the letter A for instance. A, B, C, D, E, F, etc...

Request 2:
I would also like to see a field that would be on the submission screen that can be added by the uploader tha can point to a "Support" type thread. On my site, we require users to create an announcement/discussion thread before submitting an upload. I would like to be able for people when downloading a file to see (and be able to click) the link to the "support" thread on the forums.

Request 3:
An option to create a new thread in a specific forum when a new download is added would be nice as well. I know that there is an add on for this, but official support would be nice. :D

Again, Thank you very much for this mod!

I have a req. too :)
downloadsII will be able to browse/listing files for external host-
i have two diff. webhost - i put files on my 2nd host..
it will be nice if this mod can import/list files from 2nd host with permission..

pls give a thought about it

I might be working on this after my exams, as someone else also requested this.

1. No, not at this moment though. But comments will be improved (quick reply editor, better permissions, ability to edit them).
2 + 3. There will be definitely a general report button for each file. So you can use it for the comments too. I'm not sure if I'm going to add another button per comment.

As you may want to keep your statistics. That's the point about statistics, otherwise they would be useless :p
vBulletin itself is also logging registration, new thread, post, ... stats.

That's not possible at this moment. But there's a vBadvanced CMPS add-on and you can integrate the CMPS on your forumhome.

Some forumhome integration might be added in the future. As 5.1.0 already integrates in the navbar (button, search), postbit and user profile (stats, list).

As I said, the avatar.jpg image is nowhere in the DownloadsII code, unless you edited it yourself. Check the ecdownloads_download_pic phrase which contains the image name.

Q1. Try setting "Sort by Weight" to no.
v6 has serious improved sorting (category based, each category can have different sorting, ascending/descending on all possible fields).
R1. This is not going to make it - I think -. That's more something for a glossary mod (or the vB memberslist).
R2. The add-on can add automatically such a discuss link to the description field of a file.
R3. The add-on is "official" as its coded by CyberRanger, coauthor of DownloadsII.

The storage and download part is the last unfinished thing of v6. I was basing it on the attachment system, but with vB 4 coming soon, I stopped working on it. vB 4 will have the new asset manager, so I'm going to look how integration with that goes.

I also hope they are going to fix the lightbox integration :D

Ahh, ok... I was looking for a way to sort each category differently. My main cats are done by weight, but I'd like my subs to be sorted by alpha. Sounds like I am really looking forward to v6 sorting options.

Which add-on are you talking about above that adds this functionality? I swear I've looked at everything with DownloadsII. :D

in the first post of this threads, towards the bottom, look where it says add-ons...:D

RS Jelle - I think we're talking about different things.

Prune Download log entries
Set to 0 (zero) if you want to maintain all the download log entries (found in the dl_downloads table). Otherwise, enter a positive integer (1,2,5, etc). Log entries OLDER (in DAYS) than the value entered will be deleted. This item is run hourly be the "Hourly Cleanup" scheduled task.

I set this setting to a few days, but it doesn't clear.

Great to hear!

I believe that would be a huge asset to the mod. Reporting per comment and have it auto create threads just like the report thread option.

I am glad you are putting a report dead links option in there as it's very good to have. Maybe if you can, have an option to auto create threads just like the above suggestion.

Thank you , useful hack
i have one Request
Can You Add Resume Support Please ?

Ah, now I see :)

It seems that the vB devs changed the name of one of the plugin locations. Go to the plugin manager, find the downloads_cron_script_cleanup plugin and click edit. Set the hook location to cron_script_cleanup_hourly (previously it was called cron_script_cleanup).

Will be fixed in the next release ;)

There will be plugin locations, so there could be an add-on made for this.

Probably in v6, but I'm not sure.
