Is there any additional permissions I need to set other than the ones on the CP?

There are usergroup permissions and there are module permissions in the left pane downloads section of the ACP.

If those are both set right, what error are you getting exactly? If you want, send me a PM with the site and an account that has permissions to upload and I'll take a look.

This was a fix for the navigation changes in 4.2, I didn't add any new features. Currently all the files are hosted locally. Having external file links is an option that is on the list of things to look into when we plan out the next version.

So you will be adding something like this soon?

Instead of using the site to host files but just put an external link and have that as the download correct.

Anyways appreciate the reply! Thanks

Probably something like that yes. It probably will be a basic link to another site with the option to display different text. Not sure when we will work on the next version though.

Hi,

Thanks for this mod, it looks like what we were looking for moving forward from DownloadsII...

However, I'm having trouble using the Import function. When I try to run it, after specifying the source and destination paths I get an SQL syntax error:

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.0:

Invalid SQL:

INSERT INTO dbtech_downloads_categories (catname, catdesc, extgroupids, permissions)
VALUES (
'Amigahellas Magazine',
'Amigahellas, the magazine',
'2',
'a:3:{s:4:\"view\";a:1:{i:0;i:6;}s:8:\"download\";a:1:{i:0;i:6;}s:6:\"upload\";a :1:{i:0;i:6;}}',
);

Any ideas why this comes up? The syntax seems correct to me... :-/

[midwan]

On closer inspection, should that last comma be there in this line?

'a:3:{s:4:\"view\";a:1:{i:0;i:6;}s:8:\"download\";a:1:{i:0;i:6;}s:6:\"upload\";a :1:{i:0;i:6;}}',

looks like that might be the problem?

[midwan]

OK, I managed to fix the problem by editing the class_import.php file and remove the extra comma there... ;-)

Hi,

In VBdownload, is it possible to have the number of files available for download by category ?



Thank you

[Crotan]

looks like a good mod, just wish the download comments were more consistent with the rest of vBulletin. Same structure as blog or cms comments would be ideal in this mod. That floating in comment box just doesn't rub me the right way

Sorry no, there isn't a way to show the count of downloads in a category. It's already on the list of requests though for next release, so I'll look at it next time we update the product.

I'll add a request to put in a different format for the comments next time we update.

Tried myself, no luck. Just seems too plain without some images on the page. Anyone been able to do this?

There is a box to add an image to a category, or are you talking about putting an image somewhere else?

Yes, adding the ability to allow an image in the Category Description area. Basically allowing html (or at least bb code) in the Category Description area. This way if the category name is self explanatory you can at least center an image representative of the category in the description area and hyperlink link it. This way there also isn't so much blank space on the page. I think the overall look would be a lot better.

You could also just add another input like you have for "Category Image" and call it "Category Description Image" that would center any image you input in the Category Description area and hyperlink it to the category page.

Any news on when/if you may implement this? If not, is there a way to make a slight edit to allow for html in the description box?

I guess I'm not seeing the urgency in this? Currently, you can use an image to replace the title area and if you don't use the description area, you can remove it from the template. This would accomplish the same thing.
