ecRelease

ecRelease is a BETA - stuff will go wrong

What is ecRelease?

It is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It is very similar to the vBulletin.org download database (in concept) and can be found in action on www.elitecoders.org. It allows you to turn any thread in any forum into a release that will show up in the download section. Adding a release is similar to adding a poll.

download database - http://www.elitecoders.org/forum/downloads.php
release thread - http://www.elitecoders.org/forum/showthread.php?p=67325

Known Bugs:

- Possible bug: When you submit, it wants to include a poll even though the poll is not checked
- Possible bug: MySQL error on attachment download

FAQ:

Q: Fatal error: Field releaseid is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_thread in /includes/class_dm.php on line 485
A: Perform the file edit via install.php or manually
Q: The drop down box for Release Categories is not a drop down
A: They should be separated by semicolons, not commas.

Here are my plans for future versions:

- Set "per forum" releases (depends on support)

Phrase Changes

(many are added automatically)

Template Changes

SHOWTHREAD
newpost
(many are added automatically)

File Changes

includes/class_dm_threadpost.php (can be done automatically or manually)

Install

Upload the contents of 'upload' to your forum directory
Import ecrelease.xml into your PRODUCTS by going to Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
Perform the edits in edits.txt (templates)
Upload install.php to perform the 1 file edit, make sure you chmod +writeable

Time: 3-4 minutes

Upgrade

You can make all changes automatically by importing the XML or you can do things piece by piece by looking at the info files provided with the hack.

I don't if there's an option show first post in all pages of a thread.
If yes, this may work for you, too.

Does this work without the download section?

Thank you my friend.

So, does this mean you're all set? If you need something scripted there are tons of coders on these boards who could modify ecDownloads for you to meet your needs (for a fee).

it does... doesnt it?

yes, just dont upload downloads.php if you dont want it. i coded the entire thing and then went back and added the download directory.

I'll add those two bugs to my "to-do" list, they shouldnt be hard to sove.

When I click "edit release" it works fine... can you tell me what page you are linked to (please make sure it is the link for the thread you provided).
