Could users be able to upload files larger in size than 2mb (my host has a max 2mb for php)

Sounds good.

This would be a tad tricky and would slow down forums even for people without many subcats. To be honest, just including one level of subcats requires Order(cats+1) more queries, and unlimited subcats would require Order(cats(depth)+1). Currently, if you have 5 cats you make 1 query. If you have 5 cats with 5 subcats, you make 5+1 queries. If you have 5 cats with 5 subcats and the possibility of another level of subcats you make 25+5+1 queries.

I tried my best to optimize queries and only perform stat-gathering queries when needed (file changes etc) and as a result, I think I may be able to incorporate this... but I will have to think about it.

Change file_prep to prep_file in dl_functions.php

I really don't know what to say. I haven't ever recieved those errors with this script or any other webprogram I have written or used. I know you had some data in your tables, but I would suggest a complete reinstall. If you want to save your old data, export it to a .sql file, and do a complete reinstall of EVERYTHING. If it works, I will help you manually add back the mysql data.

Good luck, and keep me posted.

No. That is why I added the link-to-file feature. The only way to upload larger files is change your php config.

Did you remember to add a . before your extension? (.rar, .jpg, .exe, .php) Also, if you are doing one with 2 or four letters (or more) and it doesnt work... I could have a bug. Please tell me what extension you are trying to upload and what you entered into the admincp.

I think I covered all the problems... if not just repost it.

There was someone who said uploading files with a . in the name didnt work...and I havent been able to produce the same error.

thanks Ronin, very nice hack

(click Install)

[Allan]

I have this error in localhost when I click on "order the files"

error:

Parse error: parse error in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\forum\includes\dl_manage.php on line 36

ligne 36 (in red) of file "dl_manage.php":

if ($file['link'] == 0)
			{
				if (!" . TABLE_PREFIX . "file_exists($INFO['url'].$file['url'])) {
					eval('$filebits .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_man_filebits') . '";');
				}
			}

[rjordan]

Try removing the ] at the front of the line you highlighted.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Change:

PHP Code:

                ]if (!" . TABLE_PREFIX . "file_exists($INFO['url'].$file['url'])) { 


to:

PHP Code:

                if (!" . TABLE_PREFIX . "file_exists($INFO['url'].$file['url'])) { 


But double check your edit, because that ] must have come from somewhere (unless hack instructions have an error, which i didn't check).

What is the meaning of the

PHP Code:

" . TABLE_PREFIX . " 


Looks to me that don't belong there
