What is ecDownloads?

It is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It allows you to upload files, create folders, link to external files - and more. It is very flexible and has many options. Sorry, no screenshots. Maybe if someone is nice they will provide a link to the latest version of ecDownloads for everyone to view it.

Changes in 3.2

- Too many to list... its a whole new world

Known Bugs:

- Missing phrase in add file (on nav bar)
- No file protection, add it here if you want: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=174
- Missing phrases (ecdownloads_can_edit_all and ecdownloads_can_view_disabled) in admincp

Install

Make the file edits in ecDownloads.txt
Upload the contents of 'upload' to your forum directory
Run the downloadinstaller.php file in the admincp (install/rebuild styles and phrases)
Create a directory called 'downloads' (or whatever you put in your settings) and make it writeable and executable

Heya,

Cool hack. When I tried to upgrade, I get the following error when trying to upgrade the mysql:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE `vb3_file_downloads` ADD `time` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0' AFTER `file`
mysql error: Table 'gothtopic.vb3_file_downloads' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

Referer: http://gothtopic.com/forum/admincp/downloadinstall.php?do=upgrade

Any ideas?

Ok fair enough, but how about an auto approve system? or a reminder that gets sent via PM or Email to the admins /mods?

would be cool


Thanks Captain Obvious! Read the post you see at the top of every page under "future." Thankyoucomeagain.

sry didnt read that, looking forward to a fix for that

Works for me, make sure you set it up properly (select `order` from the settings) and it will work swimmingly.

thank you

I think this was mentioned before howevr I didnt see an answer.

i have 4 main Categories and under each of these I have subcategories - now each subcategory shows the amount of files correctly - however on the Main Page where it shows the top level categories is shows "0 Files" which is technically correct as there are no files under the main categories only sub cats - however it would be great to either

1) Remove the File count from the main cat page

or even better

2) Add up the files under each sub cat and display this on the Main Cat page

Any ideas please Ronin

My download section is at http://www.physicianassistant.net/forums/downloads.php? After I download, everything seems to be ok. However, If I click on the catgory to view the files within it, I get a blank page. Any ideas on this? Thanks.

Figured it out....read another post. There is an extra space in dl_category after the final ?> that is causing this problem.

Yes same experience here, I actually changed the structure becuase of that. Be great if it totalled everything in that cat.

Problem Fixed.

Issue was with the templates.

thanks Ronin
