Question Run vbdownloads.php outside of forum directory & DBSEO

[DominicK]

1) Can I run vbdownloads.php outside of the forum directory? If so, how?

2) With DBSEO, does it beautify the URLs of the vbdownloads mod too? I'm looking to create the url structure

site.com/vbdownloads-category/vbdownloads-filename/

Thanks.

1) That's not supported at this time, sorry

2) You can customise the URLs with DBSEO, yeah

Ah, that's a shame! Is it something you guys would take on as a custom modification? If so, how big of a job would it be?

You may be able to make this work by copying vbdownloads.php outside your forum root and adding a chdir command above the

// get special data templates from the datastore

F.ex.

chdir('/home/dbtech/public_html/');

That being said, links inside vBDownloads would still use the "old" vbdownloads.php file, but at least it'll let you create a landing page.

Will that suffice?

Thanks for the thought but I'd like to run vbdownloads on site.com/vbdownloads.php with the forum operating in site.com/forum/.

Is this quite difficult to do in terms of custom work? Would be able to provide an approximate quote?

Are you looking to have anything else done other than the ability to run the file outside forum root?

If you fill out the form here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/info/customwork/ we'll be able to give you a quote
