Excellent Hack, I have installed many hacks this is the most USEFUL one for me to date.

Thanks!

Thank You :)
Update ur files to final ..
And then (if possible) provide a link to ur file archive for demo ..
Cause the images i put for ss's are a little old and its pain for me to update ..
greetz

PS : tnx for ur tests ..

Great hack but i installed vbportal thus this system is redundant..although it worked very well.

I would use this but im writing my own download script that will include comments and other fetures, but i do like this. Nice work.

tnx for comments ..
this hack also its own comment addon..

this is how it works :
once you set a forum for category;
and add files to that category;
a thread per file will be created for those files which are under that cat ... with this way you can rate , comment files in the system ... also u can email the file via e-mail'in the thread ..

if you send your specialized ideas on the script i can work on this also for v2.

greetz

Ill have a lighty done verson of mine up soon, ill pm you the url when im done with it.

if you list your special features i can work on them also ..

1 thing I would like to see added is a private message to a specified mod or Admin when a user submits a new file link.

allright if i can find out how to use pm ..
i will ..

i thought this hack would be usefull ...
at least i heard there are some pafiledb users ...

anyway ;)

well installed it.. but when I enter the file archive it keeps on telling me to login.. so I login (again) and it returns me to my formumhome.. then I go back to file archive and I have to login again.......

this login msg covers all of the errors ..
this means ;
if you dont have any cat, file it will show that message again :)

add cats files and retry
greetz

this is looking awesome.

before i try/use this, i have some questions:

this looks like i could assign a category to a specific forum on my board and have new files posted as a new thread automagically on submission. is that correct? just as clarification...
which username will the new thread be posted as?
can i set permissions to view/upload/edit downloads/categories per usergroup?

if thats the case, then i'd be most happy to use this...

allright ,

in category options , you can select forums to post msgs about your files which is in that cat .. with this option you can discuss on your files in that thread and also you can rate your file via that thread ..
-> in admin file submissions; thread will contain a link to file which is in file database and "this thread is about $filename blabla" msg. with the name of admin who added
-> in user submissions; thread will contain "tnx for submission $postername blabla" additional to admins submisson. with the name of admin who verified.

as for permissions :
registered users can post file submissions .. and they wont be active till you verify them ..
file upload not implemented for security and abusal reasons..

system a little complicated ...
if you anymore que. post it pls

greetz

thats a pity. the ability to have mother forums are what would make it better than anything else ive seen so far, but:

i want to run a database of documents developed by my users, secured by access restrictions and the files itself protected by htacces. this i can only achieve if the files get stored on my server...
so i'd need my users, or better mods to be able to upload, as i certainly dont want to have the work of ftping every file myself into position, and definitely i wont give someone else access to my ftp or the admin cp.

thanks for your good work anyway.

greets

kreftt

allright document archive under development ..
also a link archive ..
anyway tnx for comments .. forum thingys is good i know ;)

but you have to know that uploading files not easy to integrate in secure way .. also users can abuse this easly .. as it seems you have only problem with linking of files ..

ermm i will consider the special file system for admins/mods..

greetz

thanks a lot

until now i thought that securing your files is relatively easy with a .htaccess like this:

am i wrong in this?

the code you posted for .htaccess to protect file on your server. i mean javascript injections , upload abuse and so ..

as i own a security related community ;
security is the most important thing for me..
also reliability and server usage ..

this means i cant take the responsibility via coding buggy upload feature ..

and one more thing : this hack is maded to cover all the needs of all type of communities .. think on sites with small space and little bandwith ...

but i can think on a upload feature for this hacks future versions

i hope this covers all of your questions . i tried to make it as good as possible
greetz

yeah i guess so.

thanks again

greets

kreftt

I did add catagories.. didnt add anything else though.. should I add anything else for it to work properly?

if you have empty cats u will get that msg again .. because of the error method i used ..

greetz

Right this hack is wonderful apart from one thing:

- the files cannot be stored in the database

I would prefer if the files could be stored in the database or alternatively you can post it as a text with all the vbcode stuff like [php] or [b] tags

So basically you have one screen when you click "Submit a file" where it asks you whether your tutorial is a file or it is a description where you can use vbcode :) - or both of course :D

If the files can be stored in the database on this and you have the option to post a vbcode based tutorial or a file or both - then i'll make a go at installing this hack :)

Thats what its lacking currently IMO

Nice hack nevertheless

- miSt

i know i know ;)
i will try to store files at db ... firstly i have to get the idea of vb file storing ..

anyway i dont get what u mean via file submission screen ..
you will enter details and admins approve it via admin cp ..

i planned like :
users enter all details to " additional information " space .. which is hack's common custom info .. and admin take infos from there to put other custom fields ..

for ex: you come and put infos like ; filename : mist creator : erdem bla bla and to additional info : filesize : 1 mb date coded : today bla bla
and then i view it ... get infos like filesize , if i added this to db as a new custom field , i will add this info for that file and approve it ..

a little complex but ermmm ...
8)

hey wait for my tutorial hack , it will have all :)
this only a file archive ... do you need smilies/php's in description of files ?
ermm maybe via norton antivirus :classic:

Before anyone asks Erdem to make hacks or install his hacks, please read https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=45514.

Also Mist, me and Satan have decided to continue on the InfoBase(tutorial) modification that we stopped production on, if you want we will teach you more php while we make it. Both Satan, and I will be happy to teach you while we make it.

Thanks

can anyone please delete this hack ?
great drkfusion ... great delete my all posts also ..
this is the way how they want .

Can I get confirmation from the hack author that you want this hack removed?

as if you consider me as this hack's author pls delete ..
i cant stand all those ..

as if you dont consider me as this hack's author pls ask DrkFusion , hellsatan or others who you all think that im copied all those ..

thank you all for help

Sorry, I don't quite understand. :) Do you want your hack to be removed? A simple yes or no would suffice.

Well i dont want this hack to be removed myself because it has lots of potential.

Why not just give credit to DrkFusion in your first post so this excellent hack can still be worked on :)

Regards

- miSt

Mist is right... Don?t remove it. :)
Give Credit to Fusion but dont remove it...

mist u dont get the point ..
drk and others accusing me of stealing their codes and creating this hack ..

just think .. is that can be possible ? are there any file archive hack ? by them or other ?

they accusing me of ripping codes/copying codes and so .. after hours of coding and testing ..

and think one more time : how can i steal thier codes ? drk released v 2.0 newly and my beta tests started on " 11-02-02 07:09 PM " which is still at beta hacks forum .. and my own tests b4 that date ? and those betas includes subcats , rating , letter view, advanced search and many more which still arent on they hack .. how man how ? and my 1.0 release only includes bug fixes ..

they said that i used same comment sytle .. same variable names .. oh my god ! i am using i,j,k as a loop variable in my codings on both java,c++,c,delphi,php, .. or others .. thats the matter ?

and the same codes they mentioned .. yes i used vb codes .. i have to , cause im coding a hack for vb .. is it false ? i use letter view and page/page view .. and other things .. as you know there is a coding standart in all hacks and files .. so i look into hacks to see how the other coders coded their hacks .. cause this hack will be published .. i look indentations , comment styles .. is that false ?

man 1500+ code and i get all those ?

lotsa things also .. i offer help and they accused me of lotsa bad thing ..

as you know i coded this to cover all my needs .. and u offered file addition .. i said : " after learning how vb manages attachments i will" .. got it ? also i dont want any copyleft thing .. the only thing i said " please dont remove my name " .. nothing more ..

anyway

I released v1.0 before any of your hacks, which has the same form, I have the v1 script if anyone wishes to see, then I worked on v2.0 upgraded the original thread, edited the subject of the original thread.

That is the better thing to do, if you want proof of the above, just read the whole thread, you will see that I announce dates to release v2 and, in the install I have an upgrade file.

Also you are not understanding the real point are you? Did you even read the post(s) in the general discussion fully, your archive hack itselfis not the prob, check the coding, review over it all, you even used the same variables from mine into yours, and the whole first 6 lines are a ripp, and there are other stuff too.

The wrapped up point is, you should of asked permission before releasing it, without thinking I would not find it.

Also Erdem, Erwin asked for a simple yes or no, so he could confirm the deletion. I am really more upet, because even with proof, he keeps denying it, and credit given to me in this thread will/still not make this situation better due to his attitude.

Mist read my post on the 2nd page.

PLEASE DISCONTINUE THIS ARGUMENT IN THE FULL RELEASES HACK, AND OTHER PLACES AND CONTINUE IT VIA PM, OR THE THREAD IN GENERAL DISCUSSION.

-Arunan

yes please delete this hack ..
this man wanna own this hack ..
go go go drkfusion ..

i dont care this ..
mist report your ideas to drk .. he is the man with this 1500+ lines hack ..

ridiculous

omg -_-

check credits ..

Relax guys, the hack is awsome.
A few suggestions:
- Ability to add different custom fileds for each category instead of all of them.
- When adding a file, the ability to specify the file´s category.
- Some kind of "rating system", where users can tell how they like (or dislike) a file.
- Report bad link (automatic send PM to (someone by UserID) or mail (seteable in php or some menu -admin CP-), with the link to repair)

allright tnx for comments ..
this is the simulation of pafiledb ,so i used the same style ..

email file to friend also not implemented .. um do i have to ?

different custom fields per cat .. erm as i said b4 if you add custom cats to db in pafiledb it will show all of them while adding files ..

"When adding a file, the ability to specify the file?s category." this is for submission right ? i think this can be done by admins .. think of a db with 10+ similiar cats .. admins can decide that so users dont have categorize thier submissions .

if i can solve the pm , " Report bad link (automatic send PM to (someone by UserID) or mail (seteable in php or some menu -admin CP-), with the link to repair) " and " Report file submission " will be added to script.

if you set a forum for category the files in that category has a thread about it .. to discuss on it also to rate them via using thread rating .. i think it covers all the rating needs with the solution of vb cause if u gonna rate a file u may have to discuss with others .. but if you dont want threads about files this would be problem .. and as im using thread rating , additional rating system could be useless ..
