On the vBadvanced site, you can find integration instructions for v2 of it: http://www.vbadvanced.com/membersare...tid=4&pageid=6
I didn't tests v3 yet, as I didn't have the time for it and it's not yet a final release (it's an RC, Release Candidate).

Then you only need to turn off the column in the DownloadsII options. But for removing them from the home page of DownloadsII, you need to edit downloads.php (at the end of the file).

There you will find:

PHP Code:

    if ($dl->statslatestfiles > 0 OR $dl->statstopcontributers > 0 OR $dl->statsmostpopularfiles > 0)
    {
        eval('$dpanel = "' . fetch_template('downloads_panel_side') . '";');
        eval('$dmain .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_side') . '";');
    }
    else
    {
        eval('$dmain .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_none') . '";');
    } 


Replace this with:

PHP Code:

eval('$dmain .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_none') . '";');

They are hardcoded in the adv_portal_ecdownloads template at the moment

Try running "Update Counters".

1. I am trying to modify the VBadanced module to show only one category. IE I want one module to show the most popular files, and another module to show the latest files. Not sure what I am doing wrong here, but this is the image i get



This is the code. I would like it to just say in the module the names of the files. And not include most popular files 2 times, and remove the lines around it.

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

Hi, if vbportal was free to you, would you test with it ?

That's because the same templated is used two times. For the second module, create a new template next to adv_portal_ecdownloads, for example adv_portal_ecdownloads2.
Then open /modules/downloads2.php and change adv_portal_ecdownloads in it to your other template and give the module another name (for example downloads3.php), so you have two modules

That's an interesting offer
Then I would certainly experiment with it and try to port the module.
