That would be a nice add-on -I think-, but personally I don't think it's something for the main release as it would require additional PHP classes. I think it's not that clean to include those for everyone, but it would be suitable for an add-on (you can get them opensource, but we haven't written them, so don't know them entirely).

I just did my last exam today, so now I've got three months of free time
So I'm restarting today with coding and answering support questions.

I mean i saw this DownloadsII logs the user name and date which some has downloaded it.
So it should match the number in that table right? or if its different still not make any problems?

2. Yes its on 0, and it shows some (-) time like -46 like stuff

1. It's not in the logs (dl_downloads) table (as you can prune the logs). You should edit the downloads field in the dl_files table.

2. Pretty strange, as it was solved in an older release and I didn't heard of any more problems with it
Try reuploading all PHP files of DownloadsII and reimporting the product file (with overwrite option on). And be sure you've got the 5.0.4 zip file and not an older one ...

Clicks Install.

1. How do you mean? I don't understand your question. The message editor is the default vBulletin one, so you just have to change its styles in the "Styles & Templates" AdminCP part. Or do you mean the large editor for the reply field for comments? This will be replaced by a small Quick Reply field in v6.

2. Edit the "ecdownloads_top_contributors" phrase to change the text.

It's creating downloads dir under my forum dir. What should I put in the Download URL field to move it to /public_html/downloads? Also it will work if I rename the downloads dir to something else and put the value in Download URL field? Also I did set the permissions but am not able to see any download section anywhere. Where do it appear may I know?

At the moment, you can only specify a path starting from you forums directory. v6 will use an absolute path just like the vBulletin attachments filesystem storage system does. You can rename it if you want (rename it in the options AND the folder itself on your FTP), just keep sure it's chmodded to 777.
Read the Readme-Install.txt for instructions creating a link to the downloads section in your navigation bar. You can find DownloadsII on http://www.yoursite.com/forums/downloads.php

i want them to appear there!


second question:
if somebody uploads a file, i have to Approve the file.
can i disable Approve function?

and can i disable the 30 seconds download protection?

1. If your relative downloads path is pointing to there and you are uploading files (not linking them), they really should appear there. There can't be a secret folder
Try looking for an option to display hidden files maybe (.htaccess is sometimes hidden, but the files in the downloads folder aren't normally).

2. You can set this using the DownloadsII usergroup permissions: "Can Avoid Moderation Queue" (set it to yes).

3. Have a look at the DownloadsII settings in the AdminCP. Set the "Downloads Delay" option to 0.

When I'm linking to a file, I'm entering the file size in bytes. I enter in 6,826,230. However, once I submit and go look at the file, it doesn't show a size. Is there a character limit to this field?

Any ideas?

You have to enter the size in bytes without any points, commas or other punctuation. So you should enter 6826230 in this case. The field is supporting 10 characters, so it should be enough for this.
