Download System

[Drover]

Not sure what the question is?

Sorry.  Wasn't really a question about the mod.  Was really a question for users of the mod.  Where do they post download/upload rules?

I have an issue with the Downloads2.template.php file.  (See attached image)

I can't find the code to correct the issue, though....and what code to use to correct it.

Can you help, please?

[vbgamer45]

That's in the downloads.template.php in the template_ approvelist function or something similar to that.

That issue would be a column a style class

Yeah...I hear ya...just can't find the location to fix it, though...

Here's the code for that area:

Code Select Expand

function template_approvelist()
{
global $scripturl, $context, $modSettings, $txt;


echo '
<table border="0" width="80%" cellspacing="0" align="center" cellpadding="4" class="tborder">
<tr class="titlebg">
<td>', $txt['downloads_form_approvedownloads'], '</td>
</tr>
<tr class="windowbg">
<td>
<form method="post" action="', $scripturl, '?action=downloads;sa=bulkactions">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" border="0" align="center" width="90%" class="tborder">
<thead>
<tr class="catbg">
<td>&nbsp;</th>
<th scope="col" class="smalltext first_th">', $txt['downloads_app_download'], '</th>
<th scope="col" class="smalltext">', $txt['downloads_text_category'], '</th>
<th scope="col" class="smalltext">', $txt['downloads_app_title'], '</th>
<th scope="col" class="smalltext">', $txt['downloads_app_description'], '</th>
<th scope="col" class="smalltext">', $txt['downloads_app_date'], '</th>
<th scope="col" class="smalltext">', $txt['downloads_app_membername'], '</th>
<th scope="col" class="smalltext last_th">', $txt['downloads_text_options'], '</th>
</tr>
</thead>
';


foreach ($context['downloads_file'] as $i => $file)
{
echo '<tr class="windowbg2">';
echo '<td><input type="checkbox" name="files[]" value="',$file['ID_FILE'],'" /></td>';

echo '<td><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=downloads;sa=view;down=' . $file['ID_FILE'] . '">',$txt['downloads_rep_viewdownload'],'</a></td>';
echo '<td>' . (empty($file['catname']) ? $file['catname2'] : $file['catname']) . '</td>';
echo '<td>', $file['title'], '</td>';
echo '<td>', $file['description'], '</td>';
echo '<td>', timeformat($file['date']), '</td>';
if ($file['real_name'] != '')
echo '<td><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $file['id_member'] . '">'  . $file['real_name'] . '</a></td>';
else
echo '<td>',$txt['downloads_guest'],'</td>';

echo '<td><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=downloads;sa=approve&id=' . $file['ID_FILE'] . '">' . $txt['downloads_text_approve']  . '</a><br /><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=downloads;sa=edit&id=' . $file['ID_FILE'] . '">' . $txt['downloads_text_edit'] . '</a><br /><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=downloads;sa=delete&id=' . $file['ID_FILE'] . '">' . $txt['downloads_text_delete'] . '</a></td>';
echo '</tr>';

}



echo '<tr class="titlebg">
<td align="left" colspan="8">
' . $txt['downloads_text_pages'];

echo $context['page_index'];

echo '<br /><br /><b>',$txt['downloads_text_withselected'],'</b>

<select name="doaction">
<option value="approve">',$txt['downloads_form_approvedownloads'],'</option>
<option value="delete">',$txt['downloads_form_deldownload'],'</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="',$txt['downloads_text_performaction'],'" />
</form>
';
echo '
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>

</table>';

}


Edit...

This is happening in both my custom template and SMF's default curve theme.  I'm pretty sure the answer to my question is located within the above code, somewhere...but, I'm not a coder...so, I wouldn't know how, or where to make the edit.  That's why I asked the question and presented you with the code.  I was hoping you could tell me exactly what it is I have to change and how to change it.

Also...if you use in-line images within the description...they are not getting re-sized.

One last thing...I can edit categories...but, I can't edit sub-categories.  I added a couple of sub-categories...and now, I can't remove them.  Am I missing something?

@Glitch - you are right - the only way to change the name of a subcategory is to do this direct in the database.
I had this too - I mispelled my first subcategory... *ompf*

But it is easy to change  - I use mysqld for this

click on SQL-Browser - select table "{dbprefix}down_cat", then click on edit and do this manually...

Actually, I feel like somewhat of a "moron"...I found if you click the main category...you can see the sub-categories and edit them from the list.

So, no...you don't have to edit the names of the sub-categories through the database via MySQL.

However...I am experiencing somewhat of an issue with other issues I have described in my previous post.  I'm just waiting for the mod developer to address them.

As far as I can tell...the issue with the header for a particular table column is a coding issue of the mod.  I'm not a coder and need to know just what I need to edit...and whether or not the developer intends to correct the code of the mod.

I'm, also, experiencing the issue with in-line images not being re-sized.  Whether or not this is a "Pro" feature...I don't know.

One last thing...

If I add a download and use the setting to have it add a post to a certain forum...in my case, a child board...the post is created.  However, the "new" button that's created for that new topic does not work correctly from the Board Index.  If I click it...I get redirected to recent unread topics...but, it's not listed there.  I find this to be strange behavior...since it is a new thread I'm creating...correct?

Anyhow...I'll wait to see what vbgamer45 has to say.

arrghhh - thx for that hint - haven't seen that before....

Bump...

That's in the downloads.template.php in the template_ approvelist function or something similar to that.

Could you be a little more specific, please?  Thank you...

I scanned through some of the posts and cant find this yet-

I realized that there are links to my downloads through google in as much as you just click the link in through google search and the download starts. You never have to visit my download page to get it.

Anything I can do to avoid "direct downloads" and force them to at least go to the download page to do so?
I mean.. I put an ad on the page for  reason...

Any ideas?

[vbgamer45]

What path do you have?

Make sure your downloads folder in your forum's root folder is writable.

[promonkey]

is it possible for guests to be able to view downloads but only be able to download once registered?

thanks

[vbgamer45]

Not at the moment is a feature of downloads pro since it has a seperate view and download permissions.

How to change download links to image button. Because peoples in my Country are very stupid

[vbgamer45]

You have edit the downloads.template.php and find the edit the view download template function in that file to add a link.

This I know. Which line of code? And what I am supposed to write. I'm not a programmer

[vbgamer45]

Glad you were able to get it working.
