SimpleDownload

[mennou]

yeah but for somethingelse....

[crazystu]

use this instead for that:

Code Select Expand

Options -Indexes

[Xtasy]

Is it possible to set a permissions on the download page, I wanna make it so users need 30+ posts to view it.

[crazystu]

no, but I plan on adding it.

[Dj2000]

i have installed this

but i don't see the button  on my forum

what going happend???

[Nyx]

I´ve installed it, but when I try to download something this happens

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator...

What´s wrong?

Another thing, Is it possible to put to the files a description?


sorry the english

It is not possible for descriptions as that would require a recording of it. That applies to number of downloads aswell.
Try removing the .htaccess in Downloads and adding a blank index.html (yes it will show up on downloads, but prevent people from accessing the directory.

Have you followed the instructions in install.txt? This doesn't work with package manager yet.

This appears to be fantastic and as a first run, I think that it's great!

If I may make a short list of ideas for the next release
- Descriptions
- Usergroup Definable, just like any other Message Board (Premissions...)
- Total Download Count
- Able to make a Download "Sticky"
- ANTI-LEECH (I run a gaming site...  To many people leech maps...)

Just a couple of thoughts   I really like it though, easy to use

Works now thanks

1.0.1 Release. No biggie, just a IE Table Bug Fix.
Looking back on it, I need to do some work on it like languages, but for now I'm working on SimplePortal (See Site)

[StormFire]

looks ok, just cant wait for it to be put in the package manager..

On mine it shows the exact download location...  is there anyway of hiding that?

Also is it possible to change the folder Downloads to something else, if so where do I need to edit the php?

[crazystu]

No current way of hidding it, but it would be easy to do so. To change the download location, open Downloads.template.php in Themes/default and Themes/classic and find this:

Code Select Expand

$root = 'Downloads/';
$rurl = 'Downloads/'; and Change Downloads in both lines to the directory you want.

[vintagepc]

where exactly do I set the simpledl permissions?

[crazystu]

just as you set any old permissions.
It adds it on there

[vintagepc]

it doesn't show up under permissions. I'm gonna try a reinstall.

[forumite]

Thanks for this mod.

A couple of problems for me:

1. After installing and uploading a couple of test files, I tried downloading as Admin (no permissions need to be set for Admin). Clicking on a file to download results in a continuous "downloading" loop that doesn't end.

2. If I try to uninstall the package (through the package manager) so I can do a clean re-install I get this error:

2: unlink(Downloads/.htaccess): No such file or directory
File: /.../.../.../.../Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 829

Any idea what's happening and how I can fully uninstall?

TIA

[crazystu]

well it looks like i'm gonna have to re-code the hide downloads url part.
As for uninstalling, did you remove the .htaccess from the Downloads directory?
