It is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It allows you to upload files, create folders, link to external files - and more. It is very flexible and has many options. Sorry, no screenshots. Maybe if someone is nice they will provide a link to the latest version of ecDownloads for everyone to view it.

Changes in 3.2

- Too many to list... its a whole new world

Known Bugs:

- Missing phrase in add file (on nav bar)
- No file protection, add it here if you want: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=174

Install

Make the file edits in ecDownloads.txt
Upload the contents of 'upload' to your forum directory
Run the downloadinstaller.php file in the admincp (install/rebuild styles and phrases)
Create a directory called 'downloads' (or whatever you put in your settings) and make it writeable and executable

Yes, they could. But how would they know that file name? Also, you can create a blank index page with an htaccess file that controls linking/direct access to files. I didnt want to , and will not use the database to store files.

Edit: By the way, thanks for working on this, Ron1n. I had made my own thing like this because nobody had one, but with the proposed updates (multiple screenshots is what I'm looking for, maybe along with multiple "versions" of files for a single entry), yours will be better than what I have right now and I'll be sure to switch to this system. Right now I use attachments to display multiple screenshots, but this creates a huge reliance on the database.

All of that stuff should be available next weekend. I have a paid project I am working on, then I can work on downloads again.

is it possible, that the Hack read out directorys?
I mean, i will upload files with any extension (rar,zip,pdf) via ftp to a directory (name of category/Subcategory) and the script shows the files.

No, I am affraid not. It is possible, but not in this hack. I would have to redesign the entire thing.

This nobody can know.

Edit: But dont forget to edit your settings

You dont need to change the dir name, that was what my download timestamp was for... ill fix that in the next release.

have you installed the new templates? if he had a template with a similar name, then you would see his template and not mine.

our category views look nothing alike, so i dont see why you would see his... very odd. try deleting all templates and doing a reinstall of all mysql and templates.

Now i missing only the Link Downloads, then this script is for me perfect!

Comming soon

Yes, that was the problem, thanks.

Also, how can i get it to allow .txt files?

[SHANE-D-PAIN]

Amazing, i love this mod, hits install and breaks mouse button!

just waitng for more extensions now!

[kamu]

Thanks This is much more productive than hacking games don't u think?

[White Knight]

Looks to be a nice hack. Just did the full install. However. It seems I am missing all the phrases. I checked the install file and it didnt insert any phrases.

Could not find phrase 'Settings have been edited successfully'.

Someone got a list of phrases that need to be done so i can add them?

[White Knight]

I also get this when I add a category

Could not find phrase 'category Created'.

You dont need these... they are pointless and just waste time. Only administrators will see them.

Possibly.

Comming soon. (Next weekend)

I just thought I would show everyone what "my files" does: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=23609

The hack is great, the main thing it is missing is linked downloads. I have well over 300 downloads that I offered on my site, some over 300 megs. All of these files would be every difficult to upload, I need to somehow link them.
