Topic: Download System 2.0! (With TP Downloads Import Tool) Updated for SMF 2.0!

Does it happen for all downloads? Or just a specific one.

Does adding working? But it disappears just on edit?

[Costa]

Today I add a download with description, when I go to the download page the description disappear. This also happen when I edit old downloads. The download file it's ok, but the description is gone. So, if I edit any download, the description disappear. If I add new downloads and write some description, after send the download, the description disappear.

I installed the mod apparently correctly.  But I can't figure out how to create categories (there doesn't seem to be any way in the mod to do so) and I can't figure out how or where to upload the files I want to show as downloadable.  I know I'm missing something but I 'm not all that familiar with mods, so apologies in advance

[vbgamer45]

To add categories go to the downloads menu item. There should be a link on that page to add a category.

Tried searching but couldn't find an answer.

Is there a way to have the upload and the Direct Link both be the actual file?

i.e. instead of ?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=1 it's www.etc.co.uk/forum/downloads/filename.pdf

[Arantor]

That is strongly not recommended. There is a reason why direct file access is not provided: security.

[JTVaughn]

I see. But is it possible? The uploaded files will all be the same file type, and all are meant to be publicly available.

[vbgamer45]

Yeah you can do but would require editing of the source of the downloads system.

vb, I'm using a script that in order to download a file, the user has to tweet before activating the download button.

I use this line for the specific download inside the <script> tags:

Code: [Select]

' . $scripturl . '?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=', $context['downloads_file']['ID_FILE'], '
It works at it should but it throws a undefined error: 'downloads_file' due to php and js don't mix.

What would be the alternative to this line?

Code: [Select]

', $context['downloads_file']['ID_FILE'], '
I search thru your files but everything seems to use that line.

Do you have $context['downloads_file'] loaded on the page with that script? And $context defined as a global
$context['downloads_file'] comes from a mysql call that loads the row for that file ID

This is my script in index.template

Code: [Select]

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

// Using our tweetAction plugin. For a complete list with supported
// parameters, refer to http://dev.twitter.com/pages/intents#tweet-intent

$("#tweetLink").tweetAction({
text: "Download Professional SMF Themes. Free and Premium.",
url: "http://idesign360.com",
via: "idesign360",
related: "idesign360"
},function(){

// When the user closes the pop-up window:

$("a.downloadButton")
.addClass("active")
.attr("href", "' . $scripturl . '?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=', $context['downloads_file']['ID_FILE'], '");

});

});
</script>

downloads_file is throwing a undifined.  cant use globals on js 

[vbgamer45]

Is it a specific download you want or any? Any reason the code is on every page and not the just the downloads page?

No reason at all. I didnt thought of that.  Ill try it.

Its for all downloads.

[Mick.]

OMG. Why i didnt thought of that. That worked. No errors.

[vbgamer45]

Glad that was able to work!

[TLOVeritas]

Are there any plans to add multiple mirrors to this mod? That'd be really useful/helpful.

[Arantor]

How exactly would it upload to mirrors?

[TLOVeritas]

Not upload, just link to.

Though if you wanted it to, uploading via FTP to mirrors would be nice.

[vbgamer45]

Multiple links could be possible. Either in the description.
I do support multiple uploads in one download in the pro edition.
