Wow... great job. I even might go to the pro version as soon as i upgrade to 2.0. Thanks a lot!

One question: I have a board where i put all my attachments (text documents). Does this mod import the data from the database regarding these attachments (number of downloads, for example)?
Title: Re: SMF Downloads Directory Lite (Downloads System)
Post by: Nibogo on June 29, 2011, 06:19:13 PM
No sorry, only converters from TP Downloads and SMF Downloads System are available; however, your idea could be done.
Title: Re: SMF Downloads Directory Lite (Downloads System)
Post by: FragaCampos on June 30, 2011, 07:20:57 PM
Well, i have more than 4 thousand attachments and it would be a great help if that could be implemented to facilitate the migration to your mod.

Don't know if that would be part of Lite or Pro version, but since i'm willing to pay for the Pro version, i guess that won't be a problem, but it would be good to have that in the free version so that people could migrate their files easily.

Anyway, thanks a lot for even considering it.

the General category (which I renamed 'Downloads') give me this error when I go to it

Method Not Implemented

GET to /forum/index.php not supported.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


I'm guessing I need to change file permissions? if so which ones and to what?

Got the same error message in my browser window, there is no error in the error log, and i seem not to can add downloads to the category only if i use this i get a screen to add just a link not a file ??

Nvm didn't read the description well of this lite mod :P

Yh i know now but for the error i think not sure anyway

the sub-actions and actions are not defined into the index.php file while SMF thinks he needs the index.php file for that... that cause the error  ;)

I'm using that mod without any errors in SMF 2.0 Final, if people are using RC3 or below, that'd be the issue
Title: Re: SMF Downloads Directory Lite (Downloads System)

Hello, with this lite system are members allowed to download? there are no quotas etc I set permissions for members to allow download but all they can see is the info there is no download link ( although there is for Admins!) now i don`t want to allow admin status to everyone on the site, so how are the permissions set  please?

Im using both 2.0 RC5 and 2.0 gold and both do not show the download links

If you set the permission for download it'd work

Thank you for this great mod, I have one small problem that I just noticed... I get duplicate files when I upload a file.  There must be a double code entry some where, what file  should i check or find this double entry in?  I had installed this mod a long time ago but never actually tested it or uploaded any files until now.
I dont have the lite version, that's how long it's been lol.
(Downloads System 1.3.8     -      SMF 2.0 RC5)

I definitely gotta give this mod a try. With the lite version will it be possible to display the latest uploaded files in a portal block?

Also, I read something about multi-download or something. Does this mean that on the download page I can have multiple links for the same file? If not, then is there a way for me to place more than one link on the same download page, like from more than one file host?
Title: Re: SMF Downloads Directory Lite (Downloads System)
Post by: Nibogo on September 03, 2011, 10:00:59 AM
Yes but you'd have to create the code and yes you can have multi-links per download

Hello.
Got a problem but only with firefox 8 tested on ie and chrome as well but they work fine
downloading files only in ff8 the files download as index.php

this was happening with all the downloads on my forum until I installed this following mod. click on link
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=454734.msg3214329#msg3214329 (http://www.smfpacks.com/index.php?action=page;sa=dldir)

now only SMF downloads is doing it. is there somewhere in the files of this mod
I can apply the same edits to correct this problem?
Title: Re: SMF Downloads Directory Lite (Downloads System)
Post by: Nibogo on December 13, 2011, 07:12:16 PM
Yes, DownloadsDirView.php at Sources directory
Title: Re: SMF Downloads Directory Lite (Downloads System)
Post by: T3CHN0 on December 14, 2011, 01:47:19 AM
Sweet,

just replacing the bit of the code with this bit

Find

        // Different browsers like different standards...
        if ($context['browser']['is_firefox'])
            header('Content-Disposition: ' . $disposition . '; filename*="UTF-8\'\'' . preg_replace('~&#(\d{3,8});~e', '$fixchar(\'$1\')', $utf8name) . '"');


Replace with

// Different browsers like different standards...
    if ($context['browser']['is_firefox'])
        header('Content-Disposition: ' . $disposition . '; filename*=UTF-8\'\'' . rawurlencode(preg_replace('~&#(\d{3,8});~e', '$fixchar(\'$1\')', $utf8name)));



Now all my downloads are downloading with there correct name again in FF8
Thankyou

This is exactly what I am looking for and looks like I will get the Pro. Just curious though does it integrate with the Core theme or does it just come with a stock theme?

Thanks

I have it set to post a topic in certain boards when downloads are added.
However, if the download gets deleted, it also deletes the topic from the forum.
Is there any way to set this so it does not delete the forum topic and all replies?
Thank you.

Never mind I have it sorted now.

I found this...

echo '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=', $context['downloads_file']['ID_FILE'], '"><img src="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/images/buttons/download.png" border="0"></a>';

and changed it to this...

// Download button for registered members
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=', $context['downloads_file']['ID_FILE'], '"><img src="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/images/buttons/download.png" border="0"></a>';


               // Ask guest to login or register to download
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])

               echo ' <div class="information_fatal_error">', $txt['download_button_error'], '</div>';


Then added the text to the downloads language file.

So now I have if user is logged in....

(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mesquiteweather.net%2Fwxconnection%2Fscreenshots%2Fuser_logged.png&hash=b19a76c4a881e94bbb3200a50fb1422dd25185b7)

And if user is NOT logged in it shows this.

(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mesquiteweather.net%2Fwxconnection%2Fscreenshots%2Fuser_not_logged.png&hash=3278efbc7d4209633f3c86526e569b443b38c766)


So now that little project is done. One other thing I was liking to do was set default title to links when the thread is created. When a new download is submitted it creates a topic in a certain section of the forum I choose so there is support for that download. When it creates the link to the download in the topic it is the full URL. How would it be possible to set a default title so instead of it showing like this...

(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mesquiteweather.net%2Fwxconnection%2Fscreenshots%2Fmod_link.png&hash=821cafef079f672007712630814a10636b532c23)

It would show like this with a default link title?

(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mesquiteweather.net%2Fwxconnection%2Fscreenshots%2Fmod_link2.png&hash=ae399f2b75259a084d4a14cf0bb94890fda014ad)

How would I go about making that happen? Where do I need to look? Should be as simple as setting the default text correct?

-Thanks

not sure if this is a problem or if there is maybe a 5meg limit with the lite version, I managed to download a pdf no probs that was about 3.5meg then  tried another at 6.5 meg and it uploaded, but only got to 46% then this error, not a script error ???

this happens both in google chrome and ie

just find it strange that it worked for one file but not any others

any pointers would be appreciated

Check your Internet connection. Restart any router, modem, or other network devices you may be using.
Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.

Fantastic mod ... but a little bit pricey for me.

All we need is upload, download, how many downloads & progress bar options and with the copyright removal.....$45 is a bit too much.

Like I said great mod m8 just wish it was half the price with just the options we need then I might have purchased it.

I am not really bothered about the other features in your mod or any other mods I told you all I wanted out of a mod. I didn't ask you to reduce the price of it and I also wouldn't want any mods copyright showing on my forum. I was also complementing on how good of a mod this is.

I seem to have encountered a bug. I can't remove or reorder any categories I make. I'm using the lite version (1.0 coz I don't see any newer version). Whenever I try to delete a category it throws me the error: "Your session timed out while posting. Please go back and try again." It does this everytime.

I must be missing something:  Where do I put the files I want the users to be able to download? <edit for clarification>

In other words, how and where do I upload the files that I want my users to download?  I can't figure out how to do it.

Currently you can upload files adding the url but you cannot upload files, that's a feature exclusive of the pro version: http://www.smfpacks.com/page/sa=dldir

Does anyone else have the problem that they can't remove categories?

Hi everyone

This mod has an admin panel right?

I've notice that one of the files of the mod is called "DownloadsAdmin.template" so I must have something wrong because I don't have a link to the panel in the admin section.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

I'm waiting for the obligatory comment from the mod's author about how the free one isn't going to get much support and that the paid one should be used instead (as seen on other threads of the same mod author)

Ummm, excuse me?  Watch the personal insults, and the lies, please, afaik, Arantor has not been kicked out of any project....

And Arantor seems to be correct, from your own posting history, your answer, 90% of the time is "get the pro version"

Seriously? Users can't upload files directly? What is the point of a file download mod that has to be loaded by file URL?


I will note, to everyone else, vbgamers download mod seems to handle most of that stuff in the free version... And Aeva can act as a file/download manager as well.

He can't perform well in a team, that's for sure and that's why he has failed to accomplish everything he tries (get SMF 2.1 released, finish his work at Wedge, SD was left with a lot of bugs...) that's quite impressive.

If users wanna have something that the PRO version already has I can't see why that's not a possible solution, and as I already said elsewhere I don't have time to support all my modd around here.

As long as there are support requests being made, and downloads increasing, there's interest.

Yes, SD 2.0 had a few bugs due to insufficient testing, but they have all been fixed since as far as I remember...

Thing is, if your best argument is bashing me, it doesn't say much for your position on the matter.

My position is quite simple: not enough time.

So mark the mods unsupported and concentrate on the ones that you are concentrating on. That way there's no false expectations.

Personally speaking, I'm proud to work with Arantor, reason he left all personal and unlike some of others, he's welcome back to the team anytime he wants and I can clearly see what you are trying... Its an personal attack and in law this is punishable with all kind of fines (money or etc...).

But Its a shame to hear from you, who still represents team in some ways... I don't do public comments such as this but I want you to know how shameful to see that type of comment from you against another friend.
