What is ecDownloads?

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.

Thx for help ...

This wouldn't have been a problem if you had followed the instructions from the file "fixes 7 52 PM Aug 9 05.txt" ...

Find in admincp/index.php:
	// ###### ELITECODERS DOWNLOAD HACK ######
	construct_nav_option("Settings", 'downloadadmin.php?do=settings', '<br />');
	construct_nav_option("Categories", 'downloadadmin.php?do=category', '<br />');
	construct_nav_group("Downloads", '<hr />');
	// ###### ELITECODERS DOWNLOAD HACK ######

Replace with:

	// ###### ELITECODERS DOWNLOAD HACK ######
	construct_nav_option("Settings", 'options.php?do=options&dogroup=ecdownloads', '<br />');
	construct_nav_option("Categories", 'downloadadmin.php?do=category', '<br />');
	construct_nav_group("Downloads", '<hr />');

Hi,
it's a very nice mod for vbulletin good work! ok I have few questions:

1) Can I use this mod for making a music library? if so then, is there any way of uploading mp3 files through FTP? (bulk uploading)?

2) Can I add anti-leech protection? so on one can see the actual path to the files?

Thanks,

It's running in 3.08, so I'd think it will work in 3.07, too!

I've a little problem again:

Firstival, in the Download-Options I deaktivated "view downloads" for a usergroup, but they still see the offered files .. is this right?
Secondary, there are two options I can activate and deactivate, but I don't really know what they are doing:

Thx for the help again!

I run the query as instructed on the fix file and I am getting this error, any idea why?

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1064
error desc: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '<PREFIX>dl_stats WHERE 1' at line 1I run

Also my navigation only shoes these links: Navigation
Main | Stats | Search

The rest is missing..

[JMH11788]

is there anyway to make more than one page per article?

I updated this hack with the new zip file, and the fix update. After updateing, the downloads.php page loads blank. I then uninstalled everything, including the old version. I tried starting over new with only the new zip and fix file but still the downloads.php page loads blank.

Edited: After rebuilding my styles about 5 to 10 times and rebiulding languages a bunch it loaded correctly. So my advise for those who get a blank downloads.php page, try rebiulding styles, language, and delete temp internet files. After awhile it will load.
