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.

Changes in 3.2

- Too many to list... its a whole new world

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

Install

Make the file edits in ecDownloads.txt
Upload the contents of 'upload' to your forum directory

Your welcome Slave. Got a link so we can see?
I've added a few more items:
Added Email notification and write to file in dl_file.php, with an Admin switch in the Download Settings. Check out the Screen Shots again.

Oh .. by the way ..

Any chance you can add the category abbreviation to the module? Or tell us how to do it?

First of all, thanks to ronin and vb community for this great hack..
I haven't install the hack yet because I want my users to upload and download files from my other server where my vb forum is not installed..I have some reasonable excuses to think like this..

So, is it possible to let my users to u/d files to another outside server with this great hack?

Fantastic. How did you do it? I'd love to do something similar.

quite easily actually....

in dl_category.php I added

if ($x == 0) {
		//start a new TR
		$startLine = true;
	} else {
		$startLine = false;
	}
	
	if ($x >= 7) {
		$endLine = true;
		$x = 0;
	} else {
		$endLine = false;
		$x++;
	}

which will put 8 columns across the page, these are then used to display the file icon..... then in the template "downloads_main_catbit" I Put

<if condition="$startLine">
<!-- draw a new TR -->
  <tr>
</if>


<td>
<<< icon and info here >>>
</td>


<if condition="$endLine">
<!-- draw end TR -->
  </tr>
</if>

and changing the downloads main to

<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center" style="background:#ffffff"> 

$catbits
		
</table>

I just used the same code in the dl_files and templates....
The extension can be easily worked out then you just use an image based on the extension, eg: "swf.gif" or "doc.gif"
