[Mod] Downloads System for SMF

[Heero]

Sorry for the double post but I found a bug :

When someone uploaded a file, lets say in a category named fruit and then, would move it to a category named carrots.

The Total Files of the category starts to bug,
because the category 'fruit' keeps the uploaded file in his total files, and the carrots also takes it.

The fruit category should remove the file its count.

So short explained :
when you upload a file in the wrong category, and then moving it to another category,  it keeps the amount in the first submitted category.

I hope this would get fixed in the Pro version or something µ

Try this on for size:

// The [Downloads System] button?
echo '<li', $current_action == 'downloads' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=downloads"><span>'.$txt['downloads_menu'].'</span></a></li>';

Go to your hopefully newly added Gallery tab. At the bottom of the page, you should see "Add Category".

I need some help making the theme edits, I need to add the download link to my menu I am using the silentwave smf only theme by dziner studio. I ran the mod through the mod parser but could not find the code in my file.

Custom themes are different just look for the template_menu function copy a button and make the changes for the download system.

Hey sorry for the revival,

but is there already some news for the PRO version?

[viewridge]

took care of it,


for a future version is there going to be a thumbnail option or preview for each file, that way I can attach a screen shot of what the file is.

Still working on it.

I think I have found another "bug" or more than likely an oversight.

When you create a subcategory for on the third level (ie..category1-->category2-->subcategory) it doesn't have a link to delete it like the regular categories do. I had to go into MySQL to delete the row.

If you can give me the manual edit to fix this I would be more than happy to add it myself.

False alarm. I just didn't realize what screen to delete them. 

Thanks and an awesome mod. Great work.

I have a new issue.

1)  We have it set up to categorize music.
2)  We have a main music category. Under that we have categories of different genres of music.
3)  Under each of those we have category names of different artists.

This is where it becomes a slight problem. The more artists that are add the longer the list becomes. You have to scroll and scroll and scroll downwards.

I would like to know how I can make it split off after say 15 categories and show a 'pages' linktree like the one for the individual downloads in each category.

I have a question about permissions and how to accomplish what I need to accomplish with it.

I am using a mod called Treasury, when people donate to my site they are automatically put into a group called supporters.

I want to give permission to the supporters group to access and download files from a specific category, however by denying regular members access to that category it denys the supporters group from that category too.

How would I work around this?

I would think the best options for the download system internal permissions would be instead of being able to view downloads, it should be changed to being able to download from specific categories.  Basically, have the download link only show up if their group has permission to download from that category.  However it would be preferable if they can only see that category if they are in a specific group.

Anyway, if anybody can tell me perhaps I'm just not setting it up right, here is what I've done.

Created categories like game demos, game saves etc.
Gone into the member permissions of SMF admin panel and granted access to the regular member group, and the supporters member group to view, add etc. to the download system.
Gone into the download permission system and granted access to the supporters to view, add, edit etc to the game demo's category, and denied permissions to the regular members to view add etc.
This denies both regular member group and supporters member group.

If I remove permissions from the regular member group in the smf admin panel to access the download system and give permissions to the supporters member group then the whole download system is no longer accessible by either regular members or supporter group members.

How do I get around this?

Thanks,
