Ok ive been running with this addon for the last few weeks and .... Fantastic! Great idea, but... I'm going to have to remove it

Why would i do such a thing?

Well it does exactly what it says it does and creates a new thread in a specified forum for a post mad on downloadsii but that basically is all it does. Its missing the little extras that i would like to have seen like for example..

When a download gets deleted so, should the forum post.
When a download gets edited so, should the forum post.
When a download gets moved to a different category, so should the forum post.

As my forum is centered around downloads it making twice as much work so im thinking that i would be better off without it and living without the forum posts.

Unless.... There is an update coming soon including the above.

But like i say, fantastic addon just a bit basic.

Thanks CyberRanger

Oh and YES it does work with 3.7.

I also have few suggestions for downloadsii but i'll write them in the appropriate thread.

Hi, i have just added this mod to my website but for some reason its not working.. i have added all the forums and assigned them to downloadsII but when i add a new file to DownloadsII it doesnt add a new thread in my forum.

I am running DownloadsII 5.0.8 & VB 3.7.4

I followed the installation info and set the permissions etc but it still doesnt seem to work.

Can anyone help?

Anyone know why when I try to upload a file it shows me this on the page:

http://www.radardetectorlaser.com/fo...php?do=add&id=

"internet explorer cant display this page"


I chmod 777 so I know it can write to it....it isnt even giving me an error message...dont know what the problem could possibly be.

the downloads page shows up when you click that link, but when you try to upload the file it says it cant display it?

I also noticed that on this page:

http://www.radardetectorlaser.com/forum/downloads.php


at the top of the page it gives the error message:

"the download directory doesn't exist"

I uploaded all the files from the download on here, anyone know which file it is showing that I am missing?
