Beta 2 now available

[David]

Hey,

Just a quick update on vbDownloads! Beta 2 is now available to download in your member areas. This contains a number of bug fixes, the ability to specify your own downloads.php name, a number of style improvements and a few smaller improvements.

This update also contains an importing utility. This will allow you to import files from DownloadsII. Do not use this on a live forum, it is an alpha version that is available for testing purposes only. We urge you to only use this on a test board as using it on a live board may result in unrecoverable loss of data.

We would like to gather some feedback on the importer. If any of you have a test board with several DownloadsII files on it then we would appreciate if you would test the importer on it

The 3.8 version of the mod is now also available with this release.

Note: The file downloads.php from the previous version is now named vbdownloads.php. You can rename this back to downloads.php manually but you will need to alter the value of the file name setting in downloads settings.

That is all for now. Please report any issues you have with the mod in this forum!

Thanks,
David

** BUGS **

When uploading a file I get the following errors displayed:

Warning: imagecreatefromgif() [function.imagecreatefromgif]: '/tmp/phpSg0xir' is not a valid GIF file in [path]/dbtech/downloads/core/class_resizer.php on line 31

Warning: imagecopyresampled() expects parameter 2 to be resource, boolean given in [path]/dbtech/downloads/core/class_resizer.php on line 65

Looks like a hardcoded path or two?

After the upload fails, I get sent to this URL: http://www.darkhandofvalor.com/.php?do=download&fileid=2 So it's missing a filename.

The redirect message is throwing an error as well: Could not find phrase 'dbtech_downloads_file_added'.

** SUGGESTIONS **

A few suggestions on the upload menu.

The page title just says "Upload", doesn't include my site name.

The Extension Information section needs to either fill out the area (no scrollbars) or should be some kind of mouse hover that cleanly displays the info.

"Mirrors" needs a description.

"Mirrors" also should have it's text box extended to the edge of the page.

Private Users section should be a multi-line box, but would only need to be 2-3 lines deep at the most. At the very least, extend the input box out to the end of the page.

Hmm, are you sure you have uploaded all files? I cannot find anything that would be causing these issues in my version. Mirrors is also called links in the latest version.

Just as a side note, the downloads.php from the last version is now vbdownloads.php. Could you check that you are not using the old version. If all of this checks out then I'll look into this further.

David i believe you forget to include to Beta 2 the product xml with changes.
No Option exist for dbtech_downloads_link

Ok, re-downloaded and things seem to working now.

One thing is I see in the description a <br> tag that I didn't put there. It's actually displayed as well, not processed as HTML.

When I attempt to upload a new file, it says "You forgot to fill in required fields. Please go back.", so I just click the back button and hit submit again and it works.

Also, it should probably tell you what the missing fields need to be.

I'll get these sorted. Thanks for reporting!

I wasn't able to replicate either of these. Could you make sure you are using the right downloads.php file? I noticed on your site that you have both downloads.php and vbdownloads.php. The latest beta build has vbdownloads.php which replaces downloads.php.

Ok, killed the download.php and moved my link to the new one.

However, still some issues.

I edited the download, removed the "<br>" tag that was there, scrolled down to the "Upload" button to save my changes. Two issues from there.

#1, there's about 50 text boxes for "Links" and instead of the "<br>" tag, now it says "

<br>

"

Could you send me the file you are trying to upload?

Will give this a shot in the morning David. Can you confirm that the vbdownloads.php file is redudnant? Or is it replacing the downloads.php? Atm it's not clear whether we need to keep it or not, and whether the site should point to that file or the other one.

You can delete the old downloads.php and upload vbdownloads.php (You can rename this anything you want, you will just need to alter the filename in vbulletin options. This is to remove any conflict that there may be with other Downloads mods).

It's just this image as a test, same avatar I use here:

Ok, I think I have narrowed the problem down. That avatar is actually a .png file. I'll need to add a way to find out what the filetype is without looking at the extension. I'll hope to have that in soon.

 

[Trekkan]

Nice catch! I had no idea.. I wonder what screwed it up on save before... anyway, thanks for looking into things! I wouldn't worry TOO much, but yeah, any error checking is good.
