I am having the same issues as others with Vb:3.6.8 pl2.

When I add a download, it does not create the forum.
I have previously used this on older versions and it worked fine.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Hello

I have uploaded all the files and have imported the product and everything seems fine till this stage but the problem is that i am unable to complete 4th task of installation phase "# Be sure to set the usergroup permissions!"; i created a new forum for download section but don't know how to make all new threads to be posted in this forum; i mean i can't see any such settings to do so.

Thanks in advance

This is under your usergroup settings. Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager. Select the group you want to give permissions for then look for the "DownloadsII Create Thread Permissions" (see attached pic)

You have to configure the settings in admincp under "Downloads - Create Threads" (see second image)

Look for the code below in plugins "DownloadsII Create Thread on Edit" and "DownloadsII Create Thread on Add" (admincp -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager)

PHP Code:


			
    if ($cat['dl_forumid_cat'] > 0)

    {

        $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo(&$cat['dl_forumid_cat'], 1);

    } else {

        $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo(&$globalforum['downloadsIIforumid'], 1);

    }

remove the & in after "fetch_foruminfo(" so you have:

PHP Code:


			
    if ($cat['dl_forumid_cat'] > 0)

    {

        $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($cat['dl_forumid_cat'], 1);

    } else {

        $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($globalforum['downloadsIIforumid'], 1);

    }

It works fine in vb3.6.8 pl2. Check your usergroup settings and the settings for where to create the thread. See - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=134

Ok.. I have the following problem:

No Thread is being created in the forum I've specified by a specified user.

1. I checked the usergroup for "modelbot" which is set to NewCaster.
2. I checked to ensure that "NewCaster" has permission to create threads in the specified forum AND that the usergroup has "Can Create threads on upload" set to YES on the usergroup edit page.
3. The forum is turned on.
4. I uploaded a test file to the system, no thread is created in the forum, and no link is visible in the description of the file I uploaded.

Any Suggestions? I've even edited each category and set the exact forum they need to go into (all into 1 forum btw).
