Thanks Xenovanis for your great help . i have installed download system 1.3.4.4 succesfully and i have download settings in my administration panel but i can not see the download bottun and i can not install download file because in reed.txt i have :

Uninstall completly the 1.1 RC2 modification coz this is the 1.1 RC3 installation
This is not an upgrade !!

This version works only in the default theme if ya use another theme ya have
manual edit your index.template.php for your download button !!

to give access to the downloads
go to permissions --> membergroup --> can view downloads turn on/off

This mod is mostly based on Simple download mod from nesian styles
but when i looked into the simplemachines mod section i saw that it
was not yet converted to 1.1 RC2/RC3 Forum Software.
               
Languages supported now english and dutch.


So how can i install it to see the download bottun in the forum..? i use another theme , not the default and i attach the index.template .php of my theme .

best regards

Give this one a whirl. I followed the parsing directions on that mod to do this. I bet you could have tried it too as there were a few other mods already in there.

Can you provide a link to your site? And are guests allowed to view downloads?
