Installing NukeStyles Enhanced Downloads Module 1.7a on 7.9

Maybe your host has configured php to disallow file uploads.

nope..... I am the host. What settings are you refering too?

Anything else I might have missed?

Thanks

Make sure you have this line in your php.ini:

file_uploads = On

And also make sure if you are trying to upload a file larger than 2MB that this line reflects that:

upload_max_filesize = 2M

2MB is the default setting, if you want to upload files larger than that you will have to increase this to whatever you want your maximum file size to be.

Make sure also that your tmp directory for PHP is writable.

edit: And if it still doesn't work there is another "fixed" version of the same module available from JoAnne's site that you can try.

Hey Drek,

Uploads are turned on and all folders for upload images are set to 777

Maybe I shoult try fixed files? I thought I grabbed the right ones before.... Can you give me the link directly to the correct files?

Thanks,
Mikeyb

No there isn't another fixed version. I'm assuming you are using 2.1 if you are trying to upload files. I'm looking into some issues with the module right now. I'll see if I can get it working and get back to you on it.

edit: I am in the process of fixing another problem with the module and have spent most of today working on it, however I have been unable to set up a test Nuke site so I can get a handle on what is going on probably due to the way I have my domains set up. However, at this time I am unwilling to spend anymore time on this, so I am afraid someone else is going to have to help you. All I can suggest is that you go back to the default module or see if you can find help somewhere else. As far as I know no one else is reporting the problems you are having so I'm afraid I don't know what to tell you.

Does anyone have any idea why I can set all the options and it saves it to the database, but I cannot add a new catergory?, it says new catergory added, but when you look there is nothing there, as I said everything else works fine.

Sorry, I have no idea what would be causing this problem, and no way of testing to see if I can come up with a fix, or even see if there really is a problem. The only thing I can think is that maybe you didn't install it correctly.

What you should have done is:

1. Start with the default downloads module. It doesn't matter whether or not there are any downloads in your database.

2. Upload all the files in the html folder to your root web directory.

3. Run the install script.

Drek and Joanne

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!!

Just one more question. How did you allow the person to drag and drop the key instead typing it. I saw in Joanne downalod we can do that and mine the box it's kind block and we can not copy and paste the code.

Also the last icon says "Download Now" and mine says "Fetch it" is there anything else to change?

Well, if you are using the graphic for the code, you won't be able to cut and paste the code in. On Joanne's site you can because she couldn't get the graphics for the code working, so she is using text. If you prefer the text, which is less secure, you can disable it in the admin options. As for the "Fetch it", I'm not sure which version you are using, I think the older version has Fetch it, while the newer has Download Now. You could do a search for "Fetch it" in the code and change it to "Download Now" if you like. A good text editor for that is NoteTab which allows you to search entire directories for strings, including subdirectories. Open NoteTab and hit ctrl-d and that will bring up the search option for directories. NoteTab is a text editor I highly recommend.

Hey Drek

Great but i think i will stick with the more secure option. I saw on her site the V2.1 do you think i could use that one for my phpnuke 7.8-3.2b?

Also i just notice now that my add download option in the admin panel is kind of hanging and is not showing the entire option. see picture below

Do you think the installation might have caused this? I am pretty sure was working before because that's how i added my downloads.

It looks to me as though you didn't install the right version of the module for your version of PHP Nuke. There should have been two versions available, one for 7.9 and one for 7.8 and earlier, if my memory serves me correctly. It looks to me as though you tried to install the 7.9 version on PHP Nuke 7.8. And yes, you should be able to use 2.1 on your site. I think the upgrade script works, so that shouldn't be an issue.

bringing back sortof an old topic but every single time i try to upload something using the upload feature it gives me this:

Image does not exist, or is corrupt!
Image is supposedly located at:'.modules/Downloads/uploadedimages/rdu11fsx.jpg.'
Please contact the Site Admin.

The directories are typed in right and they are CHMOD to 777. I am able to upload on other php scripts. Isnt .modules supposed to be like ./modules or something like that???

I'm sorry, I fixed this up back at the beginning of the summer, and it feels like a lifetime ago so I'm not sure how much help I can be. The fact that no one else seems to have had this problem makes me suspicious, but to be honest, I've never even used this version, I just updated the code and someone else did the testing. The only thing I can think of is that you haven't entered the directory for the images correctly. If you have entered it without a leading "/", try adding it, if you have used it, try removing it. Make sure there is no "." in the directory you entered.

HEY DREK!!

How ya been?!?

Maybe I should remove 1.7 from the downloads and just leave 2.1 up?

The problems that have been reported, very few, ended up that it was not installed correctly.

I also need to test it in 3.3 patch, but I haven't had much time lately to do that ... hopefully soon.

please email me!

I don't know, I'd leave 1.7 up maybe. The one he is reporting the problem with here is 2.1 at any rate. As for me, I'm doing well, I had a very nice summer holiday and lately I've been back at it, although I'm an Ultima Online junkie, so that has been sucking up alot of spare time... Smile
