i hope the creator still looks here
it could be me again or it could be the mod

i have several download folders and they have subfolders like forums and subforums

when i add a moderator to a motherforum they automaticly become moderators of the subforums

with the DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On i would like it if this was the same
now we have to edit each folder main or sub
is there a way to do this ? or is this not possible with the mod ?

Hello,

I have encountered the below error while i tried to import product-dl2_thread.xml.

Invalid SQL:
SHOW COLUMNS FROM `vb_dl_main` LIKE 'downloadsIIforumid';

MySQL Error : Table 'anglerf1_weldingworld.vb_dl_main' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

Anyone help me to overcome this error.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I can't see if this question is posted in the thread already...is there a way to have the created thread include the poster's signature?

Just keep it installed for the moment and disable it (if you upgrade to vB4/v6).

You can do a search and replace in your posts table (as there will be other old links to, not only from this DownloadsII add-on): http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...o-a-new-domain (backup your database first!)

And the best thing is to setup redirects on your old domain name. Don't put it offline, that's bad for your SEO.

If you run it correctly, it really should work.
What did phpMyAdmin say afterwards? It should say something like "x rows updated/affected". If the number is zero, then there's something wrong

The only thing to note is that there's a parsed posts cache ("Cached Posts Lifespan" in the "Server Settings and Optimization Options"). You could set it temporarily to 0 to check if the post table is really updated.
