Installing NukeStyles Enhanced Downloads Module 1.7a on 7.9

Private Joined: Dec 16, 2005 Posts: 45

I'm trying desperately to install NukeStyles Enhanced Downloads Module 1.7a into PHP-Nuke 7.9. I've renamed my admin.php, so I went through the entire module and changed admin.php to $admin_file (with the appropriate globals and coding). I also renamed the download.php file to index.php and moved it to the Downloads/admin folder. After deleting the one link to the NukeStyles admin that wasn't working (from the Downloads admin cp, can still access it from the upper Nuke admin cp), the admin seems to be working properly, and I am able to add downloads.

However the downloads themselves aren't working. I'm thinking the problem is right at the start of the getit function for the downloads, and probably is something simple. I'm getting a blank page, but I don't have access to error reporting for PHP (actually I may, but it will be a bit of an ordeal getting it I think). I'm wondering if there are good lists of changelogs for PHP-Nuke for versions 7.6 - 7.9 as this module apparrently worked on 7.5. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. The links that aren't working look like this:

Structure for modules changed in latest versions of PHPNuke
hence why that mod will not work Wink

You're right of course, but I figured it out! Woohoo! I had already fixed the problem with structure (see above). The final problem was one of the changes with 7.8. Enhanced Downloads uses its own makepass function, which was conflicting with the makepass function that was moved to the mainfile.php in 7.8. Anyway, all I did was rename the Enhanced Downloads makepass function, and woohoo, everything works swimmingly! (Of course I had to rename the function and all the function calls, but all that was required was a simple search and replace.) It took me two or three days of fumbling around in the dark to fix up the module, but I think it will be worth it because the Enhanced Downloads module is much nicer than the default Nuke module, and I like the added security against bots and leeching as well. Very Happy

Great, well done, am sure the PHPNuke community would
like an opportunity to download your adaptation if you
could make it available Very Happy

Sure, I'll gladly do that, once I am sure I have fixed all the problems (I found another after my last post - nothing critical). I also don't have any hosting so maybe I could email it to someone who can double check it and host it somewhere.

Hi Drek

I have been looking for the Enhanced Download Module. I have 7.8, don't know if it would work, but I would like to try it.

Thanks

Well send me a pm with your email and I'll zip it up and email it to you. I think it will probably work with 7.8, in fact I'm pretty sure it will.

Hi Drek. I use php-nuke platinum 7.6 with pnc 2.1. I am new to this so forgive if I missed the answer to this question. Will your fix work with the version I have. I've tried to get my site to do uploads, and finally got the nukstyles download one to work. But when up[loading a file, it syas it has been, then it cannot be found. One of the others (could be nsn module) will upload the file, then says that it could not complete because the description was not entered, even though it was. I am going to pm you with my e-mail address. If you would be kind enough to share with me also, I would greatly apperciate it.

I'll get to your two pms shortly. I just need to package it up. Hosting would be greatly appreciated, if you could host it and post the link in this thread that would be faboo. Just be aware that you could get alot of hits on this. This should work with versions 7.6 - 7.9 as 7.6 was when the admin structure was changed and the ability to change the name of the admin file was added. Those are the two biggest changes.

Please be aware that I am pretty much a coding newbie. I don't think anything I have done could introduce any new security vulnerabilities that weren't already there, but I can't guarantee anything, so use this at your own risk. Also because I am fairly ignorant, I probably won't be able to provide much support if there are problems. I will try to make sure the install instructions are clear. You should also be aware that this will only work for English, I don't know any other languages... Smile

(The module should work for other languages, there will just be some missing text in the menus.)

I too have been trying for days to get the Enhanced Downloads Module to work with Nuke 7.8. A link to the fix(s) would be very appreciated Smile

Thanks for your hard work on this issue

I have PM'd you with the request, and I would be happy to host your fix for you if I can get it!

If it is ready to go, you would save me restoring my DB to get old download module working again....sigh.

As you stated above, with the new module, everything seems to work until you actually attempt a download, then I get blank page. I am also running 7.9 with 3.1 patches....hope it will owrk for me as well!

And does anyone know what happened to NukeStyles, anyways???

I'm not going to email this out to anyone else at this point. I've got three people testing the package I put together, and if it works as intended, two of them have offered to host the file, so a link to the files will be posted here one way or another.
