Download System

[Black Tiger]

Next to my previous comment about the sort order, I have another request.

Can it be made, that if you do something, the page will be focussed again to the same section you were before?

For example. I'm in the download section category=4. I got a list of files there and need to delete some files.
From there I can only to that one by one, which is not a big problem.

However, after clicking delete, there is a confirmation screen (which is good), I click delete and then the screen puts me here:

Code Select Expand

action=downloads;sa=myfiles;u=2

It would be a lot better if I was put back were I was working before and where I choose to delete that file, so in:

Code Select Expand

action=downloads;cat=4

That way you can work further from where you were and don't have to click to get back to the section you were before every time.

Hey Love The Download Mod, I'm new to SMF, So I just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents about whats lacking in the MOD...

1. Adding sub-Cats, After you Submit it It takes you back to the Main DL screen, Where you have to go BACK to add more...
2. Can't add file size in linked downloads, ALL my DL's are off-site... I'm on a limited data plan so I know clicking a link (especially to Google Drive) is a PITA just to find out it'd take 1gig of my 2.5 gig LTE Limit.....

Just some Ideas for Improvement...If your open to em, Like I said I love the MOD In general, Just as an ADMIN, can be a pain with the constant clicking/page loads....

Unless I'm missing something, like I said I'm New to SMF, Been using Phpbb for 8 Months... and Decided to make the change..

Thanks for the comments.
1. Might require modifying some sources. What do you want the behavior to be?

2. That should be fixed in Downloads Pro which adds some more http://www.smfhacks.com/download-system-pro.php

1.) I second that request, same goes for adding a download.
This is what the behaviour should be:
After adding, take us back to the screen in which you can add a download would be nice.
After adding a subcategory, take the screen back to the main category from where you can add another sub-category.
Shortly said, if you do an action, the behaviour should be that you would be taken back to the screen you were before (from which you started the action).

Hello to all, I am using this mod for 6 years now.
Really happy with it, the only problem is the size of the database.
Removing downloads has to be done one by one, is there a way to delete multiple downloads at once?

I am still using 1.4.1, would updating to 2.5 be recommended?

Thanks already

[vbgamer45]

I don't believe so but you can try to upgrade I think adds some new things. Look at chnagelog for details

[Enzofielt]

Thanks, just upgrade or uninstall the 1.4.1 and then install 2.5?

[vbgamer45]

Either way.

[Enzofielt]

Will do, thanks for the support.

I just installed this mod, but there's no faq with it to explain some things. I've figured out how to set the permissions & how to allow creation of categories...but when I try to make one, the image I'm using is supposedly too big, yet it does not say what the image size limitations are for the category.

Does anyone know?

Thank you

[vbgamer45]

I think there is a category image setting under the main downloads settings area.

[Dragon41673]

Wiw, I'm flipping blind! LOL sorry about that.

[vbgamer45]

Glad to help.

vbgamer45...

I'm getting an error trying to upload a 50.2MB file to the download system.

The PHP Upload Max Filesize & Post Max Filesize are set to 100M so I'm guessing that's Megabytes but that's usually shown by a MB...not an M. Either way...it just won't upload.

I checked my error log and PM'd you what it is saying...

Any ideas?

Thanks

[vbgamer45]

That error code is not related to file downloads

What was the error you got on the page?

[Dragon41673]

Huh...

The error screen told me to check the error logs in cpanel...so that's what I did! LOL

I'll try it again & see what happens.

[Dragon41673]

Ok...it got to 100% uploaded then gave me this screen attached...

[vbgamer45]

Might be a webserver/apache limit

[Dragon41673]

Can you point me in the direction to figure that out?

Thanks

[vbgamer45]

Look at the httpd.conf file for apache and check for file upload limits.
