You knew what I meant. I'm sorry to hear you say that about the link. I wont be buying another domain for you because I feel if you were serious about wanting to make an addon everyone could use then something could be agreed upon. I'm honest or I would remove the link myself. It's still a fine addon though so good luck with it.

I seem to have botched up the upgrade from 1.0e to 2.0c somehow.
I edited the config file, copied the rest of the files over, ran the installer and updated the phrases, templates and mysql, all of which went with no error reports. I also setup the cron job as shown. However, what I have now seems to be half v1 and half v2 with stats, search, and my files all still just showing "coming soon", it still says "vBDownloads 1.0" on the bottom of the main page yet it shows vBDownloads 2.0 below the side panel on all other pages but there is just the "coming soon" message in the content area of all those that do. The add file page still appears to work and I can still download files, however the "files" page seems to have gone missing so I can't validate any uploads. Any ideas what I've done and if so, what can I do to put it right?

I'm getting the following error when I try and upload a file:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: prep_file() in /home/rapfxco/public_html/includes/dl_add.php on line 66

Correct. I think that your problem here is just the templates. Try uploading the installer again, uninstalling 2.0, and reinstalling 2.0. This should fix all your problems. Tell me if it doesnt.

Search in dl_functions.php for prep_file, and it should be there. If it is, upload it to your server again. If it isnt, then you probably overwrote dl_functions.php with your old file and you need to download 2.0c and get the file again.

Try uploading the installer again, uninstalling 2.0, and reinstalling 2.0. This should fix all your problems. Tell me if it doesnt

Will that affect the data or the database as I have quite a few files in the system and would hate to lose them?

This was a clean install, no previous versions. I searched in dl_functions and could not find a "prep_file" but was able to find "file_prep":

// --------------------------------------------------------------------
//	Prepare for renaming
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
function file_prep($text) {
	$patterns = array("~","`","!","@","#","$","%","^","&","*","(",")","{","}","|","\\",":",";","\"","'","<",",",">","?","/");
	return str_replace($patterns, "", $text);
}

Well I obviously see the problem now, so I guess its just an error in your new files, because I changed "file_prep" to "prep_file" and it works fine now.

You may only upload or link to the following extensions...

The system can't detect the extension of the file I'm trying to upload/link. Whatever settings or file I try I always get the mesasge above.

What should I look for to fix this?

Thanks for this gert addon, hope I'll get it to work for me.

[tpr]

I encountered a rather wired bug with the installation
The install created tables with the table prefix appearing twice so if my prefix was frm i recived frm_frm_files_etc....
had to change it manually.

Anyone encountered this bug ?
