After installing this, any updated (and possibly new) files show this warning while the screen is reloading:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/rgf2/runicgamesfansite.com/downloads.php(1675) : eval()'d code on line 18

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/rgf2/runicgamesfansite.com/downloads.php(1675) : eval()'d code on line 22

Also, the alert for updates do not appear to post.

First, the update posts to the threads appear to be working after all.

Next, got an MySQL error report for you. Parts of it contain the entire description for the file in the error, so first I'll give you the links to the original file and the created thread. The threads are being created successfully, and as far as I know my users are not seeing any errors other than the warnings I see before. Here is an example:

The original file: http://www.runicgamesfansite.com/dow...do=file&id=471
The created thread: http://www.runicgamesfansite.com/sho...ed-Valkyrie-II

The error report that showed up in my mailbox:

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.5:

I have only 1 little problem: there are no threads. Userid (correct rights for the forum, where the dl info should be posted), global data and caterogy data are setted up correctly, but nothing happen when i add a new download.

Did you set the usergroup permissions correctly?

Not that nice. That's what you get when you port something in a rush
The database error is a potential security issue too.

I've released an update, update ASAP

Thank you! I'll install it now.

k, Love this Mod !

But where to set

Features

1. Ability to global select the forum that receives the new thread and the userid of the thread creator.
2. Ability to decide what forum receives the new thread and the thread creator based on the category of the file
3. Option to have the thread created by the uploader or always assigned to the same user account
4. Option to never create threads by category

There is none of these options in admincp/DownloadsII Options "or" admincp/settings/options/DownloadsII - Create Threads ?

I may be going blind or overlooking something but don't think so...

Thanks Guys,

[RamisK]
