I am trying to modify the panels across the top with the user info, the latest file info, and the most popular files info.

The template downloads_panel_top seems to create each of the fieldsets that contains all the info.

But, within each of the fieldsets, they reference what sounds like it is in another template.

Does anyone know where the templates are for the following:

$panel_user_bit
$panel_latest_bits
$panel_popular_bits

On a similar topic, where can I access the nav links?

If you get this can you tell me what you did to the templates?

banuchi2 · #**367** 03-26-2005, 01:44 AM

Will this work on vb 3.6

memobug · #**368** 03-26-2005, 10:24 AM

I have probably done something wrong. However, I can't figure it out. I can see the top level of the download categories but when I browse into any of the categories I get a blank page.

1. I ran downloadinstall.php
2. I uploaded the files
3. I have made the required changes to the files and checked them.
4. I put the download directory under /forum like /forum/downloads
5. I have made the permissions changes
6. I created the cron job.
5. I can see and create categories and they show up when I browse the top level. I can see also phrases and templates
BUT:
6. If I click any category nothing shows up, just a blank page.

I think it might have to do with the paths?

I tried leaving them as-is
./downloads/
./downloads/

and I tried putting in the correct absolute server path and http:// address to same. But the results weren't any different.

I think the instructions are a little vague on this point as they seem to use the terms "path" and "URL" interchangeably; asking for a "full path" and then specifying a relative path "./downloads/"; asking for a "web path" or URL and then specifying a relative path "./downloads/"

Regards,

Matt

The only thing I can think of is that your side panel template isnt working/showing up. The main page is run off of a vertical alignment, but the rest are run off of a standard header-sidebar-content alignment. This is all I can think of for the moment. If you know a little about php or even html try some testing and see if the side panel template is called. If you dont, try reinstalling the templates (dont need to wory about the others) but remember to uninstall first. I know i built it in to overwrite, but sometimes it doesnt work. If you still have problems, I will try to help you again so that you dont have to do a complete reinstall. I could just have you insert a couple echo statements in the category view.

I tried sorting by different things and didnt have that problem. If you want I will look at your setup and try it on your board... that might help me figure out whats wrong. On my demo board it works fine though.

But! I can upload files when they have no characters like "-" or "." in the filename... At least it starts to be funcionnal to me!

Thanks

I dont think that a . in the filename would cause any problems, but a - might. I will go see what I do to linked files in a few minutes and try to fix it later today if I find any problems like that. Check back around 5-6pm.

I know your file uploads are supposedly going to the correct directory, but the only thing that could cause this problem that I have thought of is if you are uploading to a different directory. Double check that your settings are correct.

Yes, i can do that. (or at least make it an option in settings)

This is either a stupid question or I did something wrong with the installation. I've triple check the installation instruction, cmod folder, but I can't see any thing such as Manage, Add Files and such. Please help me, I have spent half an hour before posting this question.

You need to go to the permissions for each user group and the ability to add and change etc. You can control which group gets access to view, download, add and manage.

You should find this in the cp ---> usergroups
