the paths to your download folder via your cpanel and your site root.

cPanel: /home/user/html/downloads/
site root: /downloads/

In your cpanel rename "user" to your username you use to access the cpanel (if you have one)

look here in the instructionsystem 1.0e:
Setting the 'upload url' this is the actual path, i.e. 'home/public_html/downloads/'
Setting the 'download url' this is the path from the domain, i.e. '/downloads/'

this musst be changed in the download_config.php in includes here at this hack.

Very nice! But definately needs more allowable file extensions for upload/download.

please have a look first on this post:

Hi there,

I can't be bothered to trail through 14 pages, but I've gone through the last 3 or 4 and I've noticed 1 thing about the extensions. If you want to upload different extensions other than .rar, .zip and .gz, simply do a search for ".rar" in the following files and you'll see this:

if ($lext != ".rar" && $lext != ".zip" && $lext != ".gz") {

$errors['message'] .= '<center>You may only upload .rar, .zip, and .gz</center><br>';

You can simply add more extensions by adding $lext != ".EXTENSION". Remember, add $lext != ".EXTENSION" && if your adding more than 1 extension.

:: Files To Edit ::
dl_add.php
dl_edit.php

As a future release, would it be possible to edit these in the AdminCP rather than have to manually edit files?

I've had no problems installing this at all. However, when I upload the files.. no files are uploaded. It basically "makes" a 0kb file in the downloads dir.

A request: I have a number of files which are around 700MB each. Instead of uploading this via your "uploader" (this will be impossible anyway, it will simply timeout), I'm requesting the ability to link to the file but still be able to do the same as you can now (e.g. description, author etc), and also keep the URL still hidden.

An Error: You can simply not download. I get this error when I try downloading:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.


I'm sorry to be rude, great plugin, but it seems you've put too little effort into releasing something that we can install straight away. You say the phrases arn't needed? How can you even think about releasing a plugin without releasing the phrases as well? Some people may not mind, but I certainly do. I'd rather see a nice message saying "Thank you, your categorie has been added" rather than "Error: The phrase 'categorie_added' cannot be found because the author was to lazy to release it so please don't complain"..

Again, I hope my last comment didn't sound rude, it was intended to.

Cheers,

Matt

everythink ok?

Got a problem!

The install seemed to go fine, but I'm having a little trouble with the page itself. The category display list is fine, but if I try clicking on one of the category names, I just get a blank white page.

You can see the problem here if you try clicking on one of the 4 categories:

http://www.enworld.org/downloads.php?

I'm sure I've just done something wrong, but I can't figure out what it is. Anyone got any idea?

Thanks!

Thanks Tekram! Been reading so many threads sometimes I just miss them.

Question about adding extensions... If I add ".txt" or ".doc" when one clicks on the download link it opens in the browser. What changes need to be made to make it promt the save file to location window instead?

[danrak]

It looks good. I would love to use it. The only thing though is I have over 2 gigs worth of downloads, many of which are drivers, and maybe around 3,000 different files. Is there any way to mass add these?

.TXT and .DOC open in the browser by default (in I.E anyway). The only way around this is if the person right clicked it and clicked "Save As"

This would be possible if the maker of the plugin added a scan-dir feature, meaning you choose the dir, and it scans the files and adds them automatically. The problem I see with that is actually giving the name, author, description etc of the files, but it'd save time I agree

Hi Ron1n and thanks for an awesome hack of yours

Still, after reading 15 pages of hints and tricks, i still haven`t come up with any good solutions for my problem...

I`ve installed it without any errors, displaying the downloads.php just fine, so well for the uploading bit, but when i try to download, i get the errro page:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/downloads/_Cyber_Newfilenametest2_.zip on this server.

Okey, i have readed several places about url`s and cmod`ing... here goes:

My download_config.php displays this:

<?php
$INFO['d_perpage']		= '20';
$INFO['d_disable']		= '0';
$INFO['u_url']			= '/var/www/html/forum/downloads/';
$INFO['d_url']			= '/forum/downloads/';
$INFO['d_order']			= '`name`';
?>

And yes, i chmod the downloads/ dir to 777

Still i get that error message...

but if i try to login thrue FTP, and look at the chmod ON files, it get strange...

The upload chmod the files to 600 !!!
It`s not strange then why i can`t download it.. hehe

But why?! And where does this hack do anything with chmod`s ??

I`m not sure what the solution for this is, so again after reading all pages i din`t find any answer on this. (If im not blind, that is).

Hope you have a answer for me here ?!

btw.. uses version 1.0e

thanks.
