thnx

The only way to do this is to edit includes/class_downloads.php. Once you do that, the name displayed in the "tops" will be truncated on both the DownloadsII pages and on the VBA pages.

If you still want to do that, make these changes:

Around line 144 FIND:

PHP Code:

$name = addslashes($latest['name']); 


REPLACE with:

PHP Code:

$name = addslashes(substr($latest['name'],0,xxx))." ... "; 


Replace the xxx with how long you want the name to be. Follow the same procedure on line 174 (identical to above).

Do an "Update Counters" That will probably fix it.

If you set "Top Contributors" to 0 (that's a zero) in vbadmin -> Downloads -> Settings -> Number of "Top Contributors" to Display then the Top Contributors will not display.

That's very easy to do, just edit the adv_portal_ecdownloads template.

Remove this part of the code:

     <if condition="$dl->statstopcontributers > 0">
     <tr align="center">
      <td class="thead" width="25%"><span class="smallfont">Top Contributors</span></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%">
       $dpanel_contrib_bits
       </table>
      </div>
      </fieldset>
     </td>
    </tr>
    </if>

Edit: CyberRanger was a bit faster
His method is easier to do, but then you also remove the Top Contributors stats from the downloads.php pages. With editing this template, you only remove it from the vBadvanced CMPS module.

Right, depending on your overall goal, use on of these two methods.

[DementedMindz]

any way to have this on a vbadvanced page as a center block and not have them on top of each other but side by side?

[RS_Jelle]

That's possible, just change the adv_portal_ecdownloads template to what you want

This should work:

    <tr align="center">
     <td class="thead" width="25%"><span class="smallfont">Latest Files</span></td>
     <td class="thead" width="25%"><span class="smallfont">Most Popular Files</span></td>
     <td class="thead" width="25%"><span class="smallfont">Top Contributors</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%"> 
          $dpanel_latest_bits
	  </table>
         </td>
        </tr>
       </table>
       </div>
       </fieldset>
      </td>
      <td class="alt1">
      <fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
      <legend>Most Popular Files</legend>
      <div style="padding:0px">
       <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%"> 
	<tr>
	 <td width="100%">
	  <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="{$stylevar['cellspacing']}" border="0" width="100%"> 
          $dpanel_popular_bits
          </table>
         </td>
        </tr>
       </table>
       </div>
       </fieldset>
      </td>
      <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%">
       $dpanel_contrib_bits
       </table>
      </div>
      </fieldset>
     </td>
     </tr>
