ecRelease

ecRelease is a BETA - stuff will go wrong

What is ecRelease?

It is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It is very similar to the vBulletin.org download database (in concept) and can be found in action on www.elitecoders.org. It allows you to turn any thread in any forum into a release that will show up in the download section. Adding a release is similar to adding a poll.

download database - http://www.elitecoders.org/forum/downloads.php
release thread - http://www.elitecoders.org/forum/showthread.php?p=67325

Known Bugs:

- Possible bug: When you submit, it wants to include a poll even though the poll is not checked
- Possible bug: MySQL error on attachment download

FAQ:

Q: Fatal error: Field releaseid is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_thread in /includes/class_dm.php on line 485
A: Perform the file edit via install.php or manually
Q: The drop down box for Release Categories is not a drop down
A: They should be separated by semicolons, not commas.

Here are my plans for future versions:

- Set "per forum" releases (depends on support)

Phrase Changes

(many are added automatically)

Template Changes

SHOWTHREAD
newpost
(many are added automatically)

File Changes

includes/class_dm_threadpost.php (can be done automatically or manually)

Install

Upload the contents of 'upload' to your forum directory
Import ecrelease.xml into your PRODUCTS by going to Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
Perform the edits in edits.txt (templates)
Upload install.php to perform the 1 file edit, make sure you chmod +writeable

Time: 3-4 minutes

Upgrade

You can make all changes automatically by importing the XML or you can do things piece by piece by looking at the info files provided with the hack.

Sorry, Pretty much noob to this? what you mean, I dont know what to add/remove/edit in the code and/or where to do it

[Ron1n]

i cant find the manually edits for the file

Sorry, Pretty much noob to this? what you mean, I dont know what to add/remove/edit in the code and/or where to do it

Open edits.txt and read the instructions. It will tell you what file to look in and what code to search for. Then it will tell you what to do (add below, add above) and you should be all set. If you can't perform this simple task please uninstal your modification until ecRelease is out of Beta. Betas are meant for experienced users, not newcommers.

does your usergroup have the right permissions?

[Xtrato]

hmm you know what i fixed it i had a bad template file

now

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home2/strato/public_html/home/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php on line 918

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /home2/strato/public_html/home/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php on line 918

EDIT : "for note anyways"

The install didnt inject the code correctly it put a (/n) before the 'releaseid' => array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_NO), causing the error

[Xtrato]

And im getting the poll error that one other person was getting..

also where do you add upload?

I'm aware. I should be \n or possibly just a return... i forget which one works.

u shud be able to change it in the phrases. Just search it the "game" and "author" in the phrase manager

[Xtrato]
