great mod

no ٫ please help me

lol. That's going to make him want to help you even more :rolleyes:

ROFLMAO

Nice one, will install on my test forums first..

Thanks

check this post ...

Do the attachment settings(file size limits, total attachment space for a user) apply to files in the downloads section?

You've automaically set the script to use the image 'collapse_tcat_collapsed.gif' as a download link on a files' page. How can I remove, or change that to take the image for that spot from elsewhere?

Could you also explain how the import feature works?

No, they work separate. Maybe I'm integrating it with vB 4 (with the asset manager).

It's in the ecdownloads_download_pic phrase ;)

When trying to import:

All I get when I enter a the URL for the download's directly is an error; Warning: opendir(home/jam/public_html/thepsychologyforum/downloads/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/downloadadmin.php on line 290

How can I delete the image from the two headers (one at the top and one at the bottom) in the file screen? I'd like to do this because it already says' [Download X File] next to the image, so I'd rather have one link in the same place. But I'd like to keep it on the main files' listing page

Also, When a logged in user click through to a file via an automatically created thread (addon) he is automatically logged out for some reason. Is this down to this plugin, or the auto-thread creation plugin?

Jelle, any comment on this issue: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=3746

every time I set the permissions on the user group back again as it was before

solution plsss??

I followed the steps from the installation instructions (those that I could - read on) and have no Downloads menu item in my forum. Is there something I have to do to create that menu item?

Note: I'm on an IIS server. I could not perform a chmod 777 on my downloads folder as that is only available to *nix users. I'm working with my web host to set the permissions on that folder. Could this be the reason I have no Downloads menu on my main forum page?

Second Note: I'm not exactly sure I understand what "Create directories in the 'Categories' menu under the 'Downloads' in your admincp" means. I created a category by selecting the Categories menu under Downloads but I don't see any way to create a directory from there...

Thanks for any help you can offer. I tried searching the thread for solutions but came up empty.

(edit)
When I enter the URL to my downloads directory I get an empty white page.

UPDATE:
OK, I'm feeling real foolish. It seems that I uploaded everything BUT the downloads.php script. I've uplodoaded it and now there downloads page displays properly. I still don't have a link on my navbar for the downloads area so I assume I need to add that manually (no problem, I can do that). Larger uploads seem to time out. I seem to recall reading a fix for that in the thread somewhere. I'll go looking for it. Definitely need a progress bar for uploading. Is there an add-on for this?

My web host changed the permissions on the folder for me so I should be all set.

I have installed it went ok

but when click on downloads i get this message:

japaro, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


i am the admin

help please

Can this product or something else be used as a pay per download / pay per image download system?

Great mod. I'll use it to replace my downloads page.

Question: Are the image filenames limited to 50 character?

This really is a great mod but I have a few things I'm trying to do to customize it for my site. I'd really appreciate it if I could get some help with the following:

1. Is there any way to display a progress bar while a file is being uploaded?
2. I want to change frame on Add File page to read "Upload a file", not "Upload or link to a file". I see that the phrase "Upload or link to a file" is in the product-downloads.xml file. I'm guessing I'd need to edit that file and reinstall to make this change. But I'm not sure how to go about that. For that matter, I'm not sure how to uninstall but if I did uninstall and reinstall I'm assuming I'll lose every customization I've made up to this point, right?
3. I'd like to move the downloads folder to a location that a visitor can't access from their browser (outside the web site directory but on the same server). Can this be done?
4. I'd like to lengthen the File box to on the Add a File page permit a longer path display.
5. When a file is uploaded an "Author" box is displayed (though it isn't in the correct tab order for some reason). I'd like this to default to the vBulletin user's ID. I'd also like to be able to change the string to read something other than "Author".
6. On the "Add a File" page the Category drop-down list is defaulting to "----------". I only have one category. I would think it would default to that rather than defaulting to "----------".

vBExperience has already built-in support for DownloadsII.

I'm having trouble updating some of the templates. I have modified the downloads_panel_bit template but only the latest files section has updated and the popular files hasn't.

I have Updated Counters numerous times. Sometimes it does actually use the new template but 9 times out of 10 it is using the old one (as shown in screenshot).

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_MWCLfhZKhWU/Sn...0806213102.jpg

Any reason why it's not updating and anything I should try to fix it?

My members are getting the following error when trying to upload a file.

Line one needs the "<"

At times, the file still uploads with the error message showing, other times it fails.

Yes, I have current version installed.

Any suggestions?

please, can you integrate this feature? It is really very useful.

I've searched this thread and not found a way to update the counter in the postbit. My test user has uploaded 5 files. All counts show that there are 5 files, except in the user postbit, it shows three.

I tried running the query "UPDATE dl_main SET downloads = 0" as posted here, but that did not fix the postbit counter. Any thoughts?

i have the problem yet ...

I seem to be having an issue where I have 4 download categories and several user groups. Some user groups have access to a few categories and other user groups have access to other categories. If I have a user that has access to multiple user groups then that user can only see his download category not everything.

So if I have download categories A, B, C, and D and I have user groups 1, 2, and 3:

Usergroup 1 has access to downloads A, and B
Usergroup 2 has access to download C
Usergroup 3 has access to download D

If I have a user that has access to usergroup 1 he can see downloads A and B - Perfect
but if I add usergroup 2 to his profile then all he sees is download C - Not so good

Now usergroup 1 download permissions are set to show categories A, B
usergroup 2 download permissions are set to show only category C

It seems that downloadsII uses the most restrictive permissions on usergroups to decide which to display instead of being inclusive.

This is the SAME issue as #3746


Any ideas, or help would be appreciated.

I spent about a week implementing and evaluating both DownloadsII and Links and Downloads Manager. I really like the layout of the DownloadsII file area better than LDM. The presentation is better and it's more intuitive. But the absense of a progress bar made it a choice I couldn't go with. LDM has a very well implemented progress bar for uploads so the user's browser doesn't just sit there churning with no feedback during large uploads. In addition, LDM's developer is more responsive in his forum. Of course, DownloadsII's developer does this for us all for free so it isn't fair to complain. But (at least at present) it seems LDM is better supported.

If DownloadsII ever adds a progress bar like LDM's I'll probably switch over.

I am trying to add my IntelliTEXT (Vibrant Media) ad's into the downloads mod. But I am having trouble making them show up. I use conditions so that the ad's aren't everywhere on my site, just on the showthread template. But I want to add them to my downloads as well.

What should the condition look like or more to the point, which template should I be using for the if condition?

This is what I am using now.

As a matter of fact. I can't get Google ads to show up either.

This is a great modification .. as many can attest to! :up:

I had one question. My 'collapse_tcat_collapsed.gif' image is a very light image that doesn't work against the background of the 'download area' (see attached image).

How can I change the path? I want to change the image to something else and need to point it to another image.

Thanks again for this great mod!

Hi. My users are getting this error when trying to download:

//EDIT//
Nevermind. I changed the permissions on the ./downloads//ec_tmp/ folder to 777 and now there is no error.

Is there any way to not show the sub-sub-categories on the main page? I would like to show only one level of sub-categories on each of my pages.

Thanks!

i have the problem yet ...
check this post ...

Alright, my server has post max size set at 8MB, but I can still only upload 2MB. What gives?

I love this mod. Im not using it exactly as it was intended but it works great. I only have one question. Is their a way to only count one download per member and/or stop the author from downloading his own product over and over.

Take a look at the permission settings for each Usergroup.

You can set the following in the Usergroups:

1. You can set maximum MB upload
2. You can set maximum MB download
3. You can set maximum number of files a user can download
4. You can use strict daily download limits which are triggered by the maximum MB or the maximum number of files.

Sadly I cut out the downloading aspect of files from the computer. What hapens is members can only put up links. These links can't have a limit because they have no size and I want guests to be able to view them as well. I was hopeing I could test the author of the download and not count a followed link.

Are your members linking to executable files?

If so...why not give the links a file size and use bitcalc to determine the correct size of the linked file in bytes.

Then give guests and whatever other usergroup permission to download files using the permissions I described in my last post.

Because they are not files they are web pages with downloads to consoles for custom created content. I don't want to put a limit on how many files a member or guest can go and download. I thank you for trying though. But there are other sites like mine who don't count the downloads and have posters just add their own links. I'm trying to stay ahead with this unique idea and a way to count the downloads from my site. I think I have found a way to simply hide the button from the thread starter but if they log out I can't do much about that. But ill keep messing around and see if I can test the usergroup to add downloads.

I couldn't manage to import the product. It is just waiting and waiting like this and nothing changes. What's wrong :confused:

Having similar issue, it indicates there is no product to import.

I could not find it searching this thread, but is there a way to add the Upload and Download counts to the Members List?
