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
- 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

- Look at the fix list to the right -> see if it has been updated since you downloaded

IDEA FOR THIS HACK:
Instead of just uploading files, is it possible to download from a link instead?

If you want to post files with links to downloads, you want this hack/mod. It does a good job of what you want.

Edit: By the way, thanks for working on this, Ron1n. I had made my own thing like this because nobody had one, but with the proposed updates (multiple screenshots is what I'm looking for, maybe along with multiple "versions" of files for a single entry), yours will be better than what I have right now and I'll be sure to switch to this system. Right now I use attachments to display multiple screenshots, but this creates a huge reliance on the database.

There will be two instances, because there are two different times that the navigation bar is constructed. You want to remove it from the one that deals with users, and keep it in the one that deals with managers.

Yes, now works!
But not with CANUPLOADFILES but with CANMANAGEFILES.

Now i missing only the Link Downloads, then this script is for me perfect!

[Koopa]

It says the add_category phrase doesn't exist or something :S

Also when I try and download a file it sends me here /forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1&act=down and says it does not exist.

Hi,
is it possible, that the Hack read out directorys?
I mean, i will upload files with any extension (rar,zip,pdf) via ftp to a directory (name of category/Subcategory) and the script shows the files.

Sorry for my bad english

I think, thats save Time by uploading an Editing files/Descriptions.

[Spyke]

hey, i'm having another problem...the downloads.php page doesn't seem to be working..all i see is this ->

vBDownload Area ©05 JackPolgar.com

[pelican]

it seems that if a user know the direct url of the file eg. www.domain.com/download/files.zip, they can download. So not much point implement usergroup restriction since anyone can download if they know the url.

But you can chance the dir name in something like "download_48464_awes".
This nobody can know.

Edit: But dont forget to edit your settings
