That's indeed not phrased yet.
You can change it in the adv_portal_ecdownloads template

   font-size: 12px;
   font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif;
   background-color: #272729;
   padding-top: 4px; 
   padding-bottom: 4px;
   padding-left: 4px;
   BORDER-TOP: 1px solid #111111;
   BORDER-LEFT: 1px solid #111111;
   border-bottom: 1px solid #323232;
   BORDER-RIGHT: 1px solid #323232;" 


Just trying to figure out where to put it?

As it IS in a table, you can do this pretty easier
In each case: you have to change the adv_portal_ecdownloads template.

Change (two times)

PHP Code:

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="{$stylevar['cellspacing']}" border="0" width="100%"> 


to

PHP Code:

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="{$stylevar['cellspacing']}" border="1" width="100%"> 


For the Top Contributors, the table is slightly different:

PHP Code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%"> 


But again, just set the border attribute to 1

Anyone know what I need to add to the code to fix it?

That's normal as there are more columns now (normally there's just one), so the table header needs to have a colspan attribute as it's only one column. This is very easy with vBa CMPS, just change the module "Title Row Colspan" setting. Set its value to 3

Works a treat

Thanks Jelle

Just do what it says: give the new module a unique identifier name
Choose for example downloads2 as the identifier.

You can't upload it using the AdminCP
You need to upload it using FTP to your /forums/modules/ folder, where all the PHP files of the vBa CMPS modules are located. The AdminCP upload feature is meaned for .module files, but we don't use that.

That's because of the too long file names in the module. You can change some things in the adv_portal_ecdownloads template, but that won't solve it complete.

To solve it complete you need to edit some PHP:
Open /includes/class_downloads.php
Find $name = addslashes($latest['name']); (two times)
Change to $name = substr(addslashes($latest['name']), 0, 15); (two times)
Save and upload the file to your forums.
This will remove all characters after the 15th one. You can change the 15 to what you want ofcourse to fit to your site.

i have change the code 2 times below but still not working...

function update_latest_files()
	{
		global $db, $vbulletin;

		if ($this->statslatestfiles > 0)
		{
			$statslatestfiles_q = $db->query_read("SELECT name, id FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files WHERE `purgatory`='0' ORDER BY `date` DESC LIMIT ".$this->statslatestfiles.""); // added by Brent to dynamically get the latest files loaded

			while ($latest = $db->fetch_array($statslatestfiles_q)) // for section added by Brent to show a dynamic number of files
			{
				$name = substr(addslashes($latest['name']), 0, 10); 				$id = $latest['id'];
				$url = $vbulletin->options['bburl']."/downloads.php?do=file&id=$id";

				if ($id > 0)
				{
					eval('$dpanel_latest_bits .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_panel_bit') . '";');
				}
			}

I figured to post in here since it is CMPS related.

I think this is also what I want to do. I'd like to have the actual downloads section (ie the right column of the downloads.php page showing as a vBadvanced page more than the top stats.
