ecDownloads vBAdvanced addon

This is to install an addon to vBAdvanced AND ecDownloads (both are required). It creates a stat panel similar to the sidepanel of the normal download system.


Add template adv_portal_ecdownloads with this content:

    <tr align="center">
     <td class="$bgclass"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] ecDownloads Statistics</strong></span></td>
    </tr>
    <tr align="center">
     <td class="alt1">
      <fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
      <legend>Latest Files</legend>
      <div style="padding:0px">
       <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%"> 
	<tr>
	 <td width="100%">
	  <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="{$stylevar['cellspacing']}" border="0" width="100%"> 
          $dpanel_latest_bits
	  </table>
         </td>
        </tr>
       </table>
       </div>
       </fieldset>
      </td>
     </tr>
     <tr align="center">
      <td class="alt1">
      <fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
      <legend>Most Popular Files</legend>
      <div style="padding:0px">
       <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%"> 
	<tr>
	 <td width="100%">
	  <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="{$stylevar['cellspacing']}" border="0" width="100%"> 
          $dpanel_popular_bits
          </table>
         </td>
        </tr>
       </table>
       </div>
       </fieldset>
      </td>
     </tr> 
     <tr align="center">
      <td class="alt1">
      <fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
      <legend>Top Contributors</legend>
      <div style="padding:0px">
       <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%">

Upload ecdownloads.php to the module directory of vbadvanced


Create the new module using the drop down menu to select ecdownloads.php, and in the "templates used" field enter adv_portal_ecdownloads, downloads_panel_bit


Update your index pages to show the new module

I'm using vbadvanced and it says these templates are not cached?

Uncached templates: adv_portal_ecdownloads (1)
Uncached templates: downloads_panel_bit (12)

How would you get them to cache...Thanks.

Also for the latest files it's not showing the number of downloads...it's just showing 7 for all of them.

in the "templates used" field enter adv_portal_ecdownloads, downloads_panel_bit

[Robbed]

ahh that was simple I had ' ' around the template names.

What about the latest files problem: it's not showing the number of downloads...it's just showing 7 for all of them.

[divided_by_fear]

i had the same problem i dont think there is a fix for that i have tried all the fixes cleaned out everything started over and no matter what it still does it i just removed the number for now

[Robbed]

I wonder if it's because we changed the coding so we can have more popular files listed.

[divided_by_fear]

nah i didnt change no coding even stock it does that after so long

[Robbed]

What code did you remove, to get rid of the numbers and what about that weird background color.

[divided_by_fear]

nah my background was fine but all i did for now was remove the number look in the php file that comes with this open it up only like 9-10 lines down look at //$value = remove the //

[divided_by_fear]

i was just looking i dont even think itssuppose to show numbers on the latest files... cause look on your main downloads page it done show it there so i have no clue why it would try on the module im going to look at the code a bit more but it has to be how he has it set up on the the main downloads that it gives numbers there cause all its using is the same calls as used in the top block on the downloads main page
