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]

link to files = can provide links for downloads
upload files = can upload files for downloads
avoid purgatory = their files arent placed in a moderation queue
can manage purgatory = they can moderate the file moderation queue

For those of you still having trouble with usergroups being shown properly in AdminCP here is the way the modification should look in usergroups.php:

PHP Code:

    // ###### ELITECODERS DOWNLOAD HACK ######
    print_table_header("Download Permissions");
print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_edit_all_files'], 'usergroup[caneditallfiles]', $ug_bitfield['caneditallfiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_download_files'], 'usergroup[candownloadfiles]', $ug_bitfield['candownloadfiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_rate_files'], 'usergroup[canratefiles]', $ug_bitfield['canratefiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_upload_images'], 'usergroup[canuploadimages]', $ug_bitfield['canuploadimages']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_link_to_files'], 'usergroup[canlinktofiles]', $ug_bitfield['canlinktofiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_upload_files'], 'usergroup[canuploadfiles]', $ug_bitfield['canuploadfiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_avoid_purgatory'], 'usergroup[canavoidpurgatory]', $ug_bitfield['canavoidpurgatory']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_manage_purgatory'], 'usergroup[canmanagepurgatory]', $ug_bitfield['canmanagepurgatory']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_edit_own_files'], 'usergroup[caneditownfiles]', $ug_bitfield['caneditownfiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_view_disabled'], 'usergroup[canviewdisabled]', $ug_bitfield['canviewdisabled']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_view_files'], 'usergroup[canviewfiles]', $ug_bitfield['canviewfiles']);
    print_table_break();

My download folder is in the site root (public_html) and to get it working I had to change the setting to ../downloads/ (note the extra dot).

Also, for some strange reason all my files lost their approval status so I had to go through them all again.

Can't say it was a smooth upgrade from 2.0f as there was a lot of tweaking had to be done but its working now and I'm a happy bunny - Thanks Ron1n for this incredibly useful hack

yeh I meant for the stuff to be in 3.5

No sense on doing 3.0.8!

Glad to hear my ideas helped, good luck with the new design! people that are complaining about your mod now are just asses. they should be kissing your feet. its a FREE hack for god's sake! you even said there will be very minor errors. if they dont like it, they should not install it and STFU!!!

Yes, you would need to change that since you are making the download folder at the same level as your forums folder instead of below it.

I don't know. If you want to send me more detailed info in a PM (site name and login info) I'll look at your setup for you.

i found another prob with this great hack guys, it seems to have trouble uploading large files.. about 10mb and over... it just dosn't upload them, it creates the entry in the downloads section of the forums, but when you click "download now" it just brings up a 404 and if i look in the directory by FTP the file is missing.

any idea's?

big files are limited because of php file limitations. what I'd suggest, upload them via ftp then link to the http file name...best way to do bigger files.
