What is ecDownloads?

It is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It allows you to upload files, create folders, link to external files - and more. It is very flexible and has many options. Sorry, no screenshots. Maybe if someone is nice they will provide a link to the latest version of ecDownloads for everyone to view it.

Known Bugs:

- Missing phrase in add file (on nav bar)
- No file protection, add it here if you want: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=174
- Missing phrases (ecdownloads_can_edit_all and ecdownloads_can_view_disabled) in admincp

Install

Make the file edits in ecDownloads.txt
Upload the contents of 'upload' to your forum directory
Run the downloadinstaller.php file in the admincp (install/rebuild styles and phrases)
Create a directory called 'downloads' (or whatever you put in your settings) and make it writeable and executable

I tried the 2 ways you said and I still receive the same error message.

wait. where is your downloads.php located? i just assumed it was located in yourdomain.com/forum/downloads.php.

if it is located as where I thought it was ^ then that means something in your apache config must be strange... there are two ways around this.

1) put your downloads file in your /forums/ directory
2) contact your host and tell them that your having a problem and tell them what the problem is

try again.

if that does not work, use the following settings:

./downloads/ = upload url
./downloads/ = download url

Sorry Ron1n, still the same.
Have my downloads map chmod to 777, I have change the url to ./downloads/ but still the same.
Uploading is good, but downloading a get the error.

Here my downloads map chmod and my file dir.

[frankenberrie]

Put the downloads directory under /forums/downloads and chages to this:

./downloads/ = upload url
./downloads/ = download url

All is working now!! Thanks for the help!!

NEW PROBLEM:

When I create categories, they apear on the main page but when I attempt to upload a file, the categories do not show up in the pulldown window on the upload file page.

For the record, i am using vbulletin 3.06

Edit:
I uninstalled then reinstalled the script and everything seems to be working 100%. This is a great hack with a lot of potential.

I'm using 3.0.5, no probs. here too

Im missing User Group Permissions for uploads. Everyone can upload files, but i dont want that user can upload files too (only Mods and Admins).

[StevenIsProek]

If you tell me the full path to your download script and the full path to the download dir I can help you a little better.


For the 5th time: i didnt want to make them because I was lazy. add them yourself.

ah fu** ok anyone has a list of what phrases to use?

you dont need them.. they are just for the admin cp

Im missing User Group Permissions for uploads. Everyone can upload files, but i dont want that user can upload files too (only Mods and Admins).

Thats included in the hack. Search for usergroups.php in the installation txt and it will show you how to add them.

There are two permissions:

- manage (can do everything, approve/remove/etc)
- download (can upload and download)

You should let all users upload files, because even if a user uploads a file that you dont like it still has to be approved by someone with management permisisons before it is available to the public.

to drl2005: sorry, this cant be a problem with the hack. it works for everyone else... try using it on a non-subdomain and see if that works.
