I'm migrating from Joomla/phpBB and the onbly thing I really need which I had on Joomla which I really need to "migrate" is my download management.

Now my question is I already have several gigs of files on my server. Can I move/copy these files into whatever is the relevant location without having to re-upload them all again?

Hmm... Looks like I'm going to have some issues with this mod.

Firstly I have several files which are over 200MB... these I usually FTP up and then make available. It seems this mod honours php limits in effect - which my host will not allow to THAT size.

Secondly on import when I point to the correct directory the file list is empty? Why would this be? EDIT:... forgot the trailing slash

OK, I managed to get around this (see attachment). My php.ini limit is 20M

What I did was:

1. Copy dummy files with the same name but smaller then the allowable php.ini limit into my import source directory.
2. Import the dummy files using the import tool.
3. Copy the correct files into the downloads directory
4. Update dl2_files.size to reflect the correct file size

Fairly straightforward as I only had 15 or so of these files greater than the php limit.

I would suggest the import tool could probably be rewritten so as to facilitate this (and no I have not got the skills to do the rewrite )

search your template set for
#sidebar_container youll find this stylevar "forum_sidebar_width"
then find it in the stylevar
it's to 270px I believe
youll have to play with the settings

you may also have to decrease
#content_container #content same stylevar with some vb:math and some padding..
good luck

Received this message trying to upload files of 17M:
"The file(s) uploaded were too large to process."
File is a PHP file.

Maximum limit for PHP filesize on the server is 64M
Maximum limit for PHP files on my VB is set for unlimited (0)
Maximum limit for my group Admin is set to -1 (unlimited).

What am I missing please to fix this?


Thanks!!

First of all, GREAT mod and I appreciate all your hard work. Thank you.

Is there a way to export all the downloads information and then import it into another site? I am recreating my site and this is some important data I wish to be able to keep.

Hello , i use this mod more than a year , iam very happy , i have two questions.

1) Is there any option to set the path to server different for some categories i need ?
2) Is there any limit on the folder i have in server for the files ? For example i have 1 folder more than 5 GB , and almost 2000 files , is that affect the stable of the download center ?

Thanks A lot

Regards Marios.

Heya!

Thanks for the great Addon, but unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work...

I installed everything and added some extentions, but everytime I try to add a new file I get a "blank" error message.
It just says: "The following errors occurred when this file was submitted:" and then nothing

can you help me out please?

THANKS!

[ub.ch]

Found it! I forgot to add the mime type - now everything works
thanks!

Hi, Hoping you can help me.

We had been using Downloads on our site for quite some time, however I think since upgrading to VB4.2 it appears the menu items for 'manage files' etc have gone missing.

Can you advice what I can look at to fix the issue? I've seen other resorted to create nav items themselves but that can't be the official method to enable this product to work on 4.2 is it ?

Also my moderators have told me that unapproved posts used to appear in red and approved in blue, this feature also seems to have been lost somewhere.

Thanks.

The navbar stuff has to be manually created as per this post.
