Question when you have sub catagorie which is kewl becuase I can organize better but i was noticing in when you dont put have anything in the main catagore but files in the sub cat is says 0 files on the main page of the downloads area. is their a way to make it so it displays the actualyl number of files and even folders/ sub catagories. that would be kinda nice.

Note I forget who said it but I would deffenitly like the Minimum Posts for download addon when someones figures it out.

Open up includes/dl_catagories.php and go right to the end of the file look for ?> and make and right after it and before it get ride of the spaces then save upload it back then make sure that permissions in your Control Panel have allowed access then it should work... my aim is twistedshiek i can help ya more their if that doesnt work.

You're right. I edited all the .php files eliminating every space and sued the dos2unix too. Working now! So far, so good.

This is one of the many things that has been brought up already... It was just a minor bug that I have already fixed in my own version.

Never. I said this before: If you want a min post requirement add it yourself or make a usergroup that gets promoted after x min posts that has permissions in the dl section.

I installed this hack on my board today, everthing with the vbdownloads hack works fine. But the cmps module is giving me problems. I have successfully uploaded files into vbdownloads, they show up and can be downloaded via the downloads page, but on my CMPS page, I can see the headers for "» Latest Uploaded Files:" and "» Most Downloaded Files:" but no files are showing up underneather the headers. I know files exist and have been downloaded.

Any suggestions???

How do I change it so I don't have to apporve each upload from a member?

give them managment permissions

I run a website that has served over 110,000 downloads with this system and has hundreds of files. Believe me, you need to monitor what your users upload and the way I designed the system,it is very easy to approve files in bulk. Just do it once every few days or give everyone managment permissions.
