It turned your forum off or the mod? When you first install the mod, you will need to create a category and configure each of the modules for it to work. You also need to edit the settings, specifically the Path To Downloads one. This is the path to your downloads folder. To get this to work, create a folder called downloads outside of your public_html folder then edit the above setting to match this.

For example, I use: /home/david/downloads. Yours will be different that this but will have the same structure.

I hope this makes sense. Let me know if it doesn't and I will try to assist you further.

This has been resolved on legion!'s site. For future reference, after installation you will need to go into the manage modules section in the AdminCP and configure each of the modules listed.

Hello, I was wondering... does buying 'pro' mean that you can have download links "password protected" ?

What it means is that when you visit vbdownloads.php?do=download or vbdownloads.php?do=file, if the download requires a password a page will popup with an area to input the password. Once this is entered correctly you will be able to view the page as normal. I hope this makes sense.

I'm using this one as a test before perhaps upgrading to pro.

Now I got into the settings and it's asking me the path to my downlaods directory and I'm not sure what to do there. Please kn ow that I'm new to vb and not sure about intalling mods yet.

The problem is that my site I'm using for testing vb is an add on so I don't see the full path in core ftp. Do I have to set this or is it automatically set to find files in the folder?

Oh dear, crashed my site. Are there any instal instructions for this? I don't think I did it right

Hey,

You can use the attached file to find your directory. Upload it to your public_html/www folder and run it. The just alter it to wherever you have your downloads folder (I recommend having your downloads folder outside of the public_html/www folder).

For example, my path is:
/home/david/downloads

while the path to my forum is
/home/david/public_html/forum

If you need further assistance please do not hesitate to ask.

On looking at what you have in your example I do have the correct path. I don't know what you mean by having my downloads folder outside the public_html folder, it's a host gator site and I'm not sure it would owrk like that. Sorry for being so stupid with this, I've just never done this before. Do I have to make the folder? Or do I move the one you gave me for it?

I think I'd really need install instructions for dummies if you could give me some.

I took the db tech folder out to move it to outside the publi_html and I can't get up another level with core ftp, it's an add on site. I'll try moving it to the folder of the main site

I'm now getting this error

Warning: require_once([path]/dbtech/downloads/hooks/cache_templates.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(1280) : eval()'d code on line 69

The only thing you need outside of public_html is the /downloads/ folder. Everything else goes to where your forum is (the folder with /admincp /images /includes etc).

Updated the zip:

No version change at this time, just some minor bug fixed.

- Module configuration warning should only should up in vbdownloads.php now.
- Fixed a CSS bug
- Fixed a bug in vBShout Integration that caused it to link to the wrong file.

To upgrade just reupload all the files and reimport the product file setting overwrite to yes.
