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

To the community

Thanks for all your support, I hope you enjoy this. It will have 1-2 minor bugs, but nothing major. Have fun, and make suggestions.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

- Upgraders should remove the CRON that they originally set up
- Look at the fix list to the right -> see if it has been updated since you downloaded

[Ron1n]

It seems like everyone is suffering from the same errors that are fixable if you follow westpointer's advice.... so just look at the posts he has been making and you shouldn't have any problems at all.

I have a better idea, dont ever use anything I make again. You could try making one yourself, but I doubt you have the brains.

Ron1n:

This is an excellent addition to VB. With this much code there is bound to be a couple bugs. I apologize on behalf of all the complainers. There is no way we could attempt to code something like this ourselves.
I am still having an SQL error but I am sure it will be figured out shortly. This looks like an awesome MOD! I'll clikc install as soon as i get it running.

I am getting this error When I click on a category in downloads.php..

---------------------
Warning: Division by zero in /includes/functions.php on line 1861

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.8:

Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM dl_files WHERE `purgatory` = '0' AND `category` = '3' ORDER BY `pin` DESC, `date` DESC LIMIT 0,
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064
------------------------------

Anyone got an answer?
Thanks :surprised:

[bspiller82]

Uninstalled as well. I'll try going back to an older version. This new one just will NOT work. The permissions in the admin cp are blank and with all the fixes supplied they don't fix it.

[thephonemall]

Nevermind.. I fixed this problem as per Ron1n's instructions at:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ion#post752016

Simply Change the number of files from "20" to "5" and then hit Save.
Categories are now viewable.

Not to worry........the crap aint worth my time........and no I cant create my own but if I could I'd make sure it worked without bugs before putting it out there. You probably didnt create the code anyway.........lol

[ZombieAndy]

hey show some respect man ive had a few problems with this hack but ive followed the advice given and now its working properly so if yours isnt working its becuase you havn't installed it right and are too ignorant to follow the advice given. if you cant even install it then you have no chance at making one yourself so show some respect to the people who do.

[JMH11788]

okay, I got everything working now. Great hack Ron1n!

For the new version, think you could have a "Random Files" box? I think that would be cool! It would also be KICK@SS if you could include a WYSIWYG Editor like cinq has on his stuff. NOW THAT WOULD BE COOL! maybe have him help you if you dont know how? his site is http://vbarticles.com/

let me know what you think!

From the website :
"This HTML text editor brings to the web many of the powerful functionalities of known desktop editors like Word. It's really lightweight and doesn't require any kind of installation in the client computer.
As it is Open Source, you are allowed to use it for free wherever you want."
It is compatible with IE 5+, Mozilla and Netscape. I have editted some of the files in the FCKeditor package for the purposes of this hack.
Note that I will not support this functionality at all, use the WYSIWYG feature in the Admincp at your own risk.

If you decide against it, you will lack the ability to upload images to your site via a http interface. But you can still do so through FTP or other means and
include the neccessary img tags in your article contents.

[Ron1n]

I'm sorry to say I wont be adding new functionality to the mod for 3.0.8, just for 3.5. I will add your ideas in the future, I hope you upgrade to 3.5.

Shockingly, that is the smartest thing you have said in any of your vbulletin.org posts. Now go back to your no-traffic forum and stfu kthxbye!

[Hoffi]

I have a Question. i don't understand the following:

Can Avoid Purgatory

What did this mean?

And the Usergroup Right "Can Link to Files"? Is that, that the Usergroup can use external Files when adding a new Download?

by the way: Good Hack.
