EDIT: jelle posted the solution on page 7, opps i missed it. Thanks!

Have to first declare I love this mod, great work guys =)

Now theres a slight problem i run into. When i use this add on, im displaying the "latest downloads/top contributors etc block" on the left side of my main homepage, which wraps around my whole forum and this is the look i want to keep when pple go from page to page.

When i click to go to my downloads.php area, (which i integrated) i see a duplicate(which makes total sense) - theres the "latest downloads/top contributors etc block" from the wrapper on the left, and again on the main download page.

Since i already had the "latest downloads/top contributors etc block" in my wrapper and dont need it to display again on the downloads main page, is there a way to stop it from displaying and just display the categories?

Thanks in advance Jelle/CyberRanger and much appreciated!

I tried and all I seem to get is a blank module.

It's fully updated. It should work fine with the latest versions of vB, DL II and vBa CMPS.

jelle i used ur code on page 7, turns out i need to remove another batch of code cause when i click on a category, the "top block" gets displayed again. i tried looking in the downloads.php file but i honestly have no clue what to remove.

nvm fixed with this

Open downloads.php

Find
PHP Code:
eval('$dmain_jr = "' . fetch_template('downloads_cat') . '";');
eval('$dpanel = "' . fetch_template('downloads_panel_side') . '";');
eval('$dmain = "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_side') . '";');
Replace with
PHP Code:
eval('$dmain_jr = "' . fetch_template('downloads_cat') . '";');
if ($vbulletin->options['ecdownloads_tops'])
{
eval('$dpanel = "' . fetch_template('downloads_panel_side') . '";');
eval('$dmain = "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_side') . '";');
}
else
{
eval('$dmain .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_top') . '";');
}
v6 will have the left column on a per page (home, cat, file, search, ...) basis.
