ecRelease

ecRelease is a BETA - stuff will go wrong

What is ecRelease?

It is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It is very similar to the vBulletin.org download database (in concept) and can be found in action on www.elitecoders.org. It allows you to turn any thread in any forum into a release that will show up in the download section. Adding a release is similar to adding a poll.

Demo

overview - http://www.elitecoders.org/forum/showthread.php?p=69253
download database - http://www.elitecoders.org/forum/downloads.php
release thread - http://www.elitecoders.org/forum/showthread.php?p=67325

Known Bugs:

- Possible bug: When you submit, it wants to include a poll even though the poll is not checked
- Possible bug: MySQL error on attachment download

FAQ:

Q: Fatal error: Field releaseid is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_thread in /includes/class_dm.php on line 485
A: Perform the file edit via install.php or manually
Q: The drop down box for Release Categories is not a drop down
A: They should be separated by semicolons, not commas.

Here are my plans for future versions:

- Set "per forum" releases (depends on support)

Phrase Changes

(many are added automatically)

Template Changes

SHOWTHREAD
newpost
(many are added automatically)

File Changes

includes/class_dm_threadpost.php (can be done automatically or manually)

Install

Upload the contents of 'upload' to your forum directory
Import ecrelease.xml into your PRODUCTS by going to Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
Perform the edits in edits.txt (templates)
Upload install.php to perform the 1 file edit, make sure you chmod +writeable

Time: 3-4 minutes

Upgrade

You can make all changes automatically by importing the XML or you can do things piece by piece by looking at the info files provided with the hack.

Cheers for that, managed to change to my requirements

As for the poll business, I have moved the edits around in the template and still get the poll issue

[Xtrato]

me too maybe its just a bug in the edits ..

Ronin would it be possible to delete polls alltgether in the release system maybe add a code to stop it..

[Ron1n]

I said I'd get to it...

you don't actually need to post the poll, just click on a link or something to avoid it in the meantime

[bashy]

Ok no worries Ron1n...

What about the recording fo the downloads, i.e. how many have downloaded
this stays at zero still although i know for a fact 1 item has been downloaded 3 times, Blunts Who Downloaded tells me this, but yours does not seem to record the amount of times downloaded...

Any ideas?

Regards

We've already established that the mods do not work togeather.

I was wondering if you had found a way around it, I dont know anything at all about coding, but surely it must be something simple as it just the download count, no?

Hwy Roin, can you please update your forumdisplay_query hook. it currently is:

PHP Code:

$hook_query_fields = ', releaseid'; 


and it should be

PHP Code:

$hook_query_fields .= ', releaseid'; 


So it doesnt conflict with other hacks (like mine )

Thanks man!

There seems to have been a problem with the Bashy's Place database.
