Download Mod 6.4.7 notes

[Maverick]

Hi,

before all, a big thank you for this mod.

I noticed a few problems during my tests so I report them as I find them.
1)
In the ACP>MODS>DOWNLOAD>General Configuration
the text
Display note about broken download only it is disabled, too
should be
Display note about broken download only IF it is disabled
,am I wrong?
Or is it
Display note about broken download only WHEN it is disabled, too
?
EDIT: after reading the Help text, what about:
When download is disabled, replace Download button with a note about broken download
I think it's more clear like that.

2)
In the ACP>MODS>DOWNLOAD>General Configuration again
if you set Switch traffic management off to Yes, all the part going from
Physical quota over all files to Delay traffic for posts for new User becomes irrelevant, am I right?
So, it could be good to add a text in this part of the page reflecting this in order to avoid confusion. An AJAX event would be even better (either gray this part out, or minimize it), but it's just a suggestion.

I have noticed other things but I need to test further to confirm or not.


EDIT:
My Language setting is English on this forum and the PDF links are not displayed correctly:
it prints
{ TOPIC_PDF }
and
{ POST_PDF }

EDIT2:
and I got error messages when I clicked the links

3)
New suggestion:
In ACP>MODS>DOWNLOAD>Permissions
When there is only one category, it is difficult to guess that you have to click on the category to be able to view or set permissions. So I suggest to change the text:
Select one or more categories
into
Click to select one or more categories
(At the beginning, I didn't realized that the category needed to be highlighted, so I was supposing that it was selected by default, so I clicked several times on the radio buttons then Select Button, but nothing happened and I was wondering if this part of the mod was broken or something else.)

As an alternative, if there is only one category, make it selected by default, if there are multiple categories, make the first selected by default. When it is highlighted, it's instantly more clear to guess what you have to do.

4)
In the Download page, the link Download configuration should not appear for guests, since it is only a feature available for members.

Hello,

thanks four your hints.
Point 1 and 3 I've now changed for the next release.

2) In the ACP I'll like not use AJAX or similar, so the part about the traffic settings will still be visible, even the traffic management was disabled.
But I'll check the possibilities to hide the part...

4) The Configuration link is not more aviable any longer. I've changed this now in the new release to switch the link via ACP on/off only for registered users.

At least about the pdf links in this forum: The texts are now fixed, but only posts without any grafics and smilies can be rendered.
I must first fix the script to work on the given server side settings...

Thanks for the reply. And when do you plan to release next version?

5)
Another thing, I want to use the Mod to allow only a custom usergroup to download certain files (but not all files).
Is that possible currently by setting permissions? If not, do you plan to allow it?

EDIT: from what I understand thanks to my tests, it is possible, but only if I use multiple categories with differents permissions. Am I right?
Or is it possible to have two different permissions for two different files in a single category?

6)
Could you add an option to make this part
Clicks this month / Overall clicks
of the download only visible by admin?
(just replace the numbers by "-" or another character if you don't want to bother...)

7)
Is there a limit for the size of uploaded files?

8)
Another feature request:
make the thumbnail clickable and link to a bigger screenshot.

9)
Another one: support for BBCode in the Description and Rules fields.
(Just suggestions)

5: The permissions are only given for categories, not for files, so you're right: You must create different cagetories to seperate the permissions for the usergroups.

6: Sorry, no. The statistic page will not be changed anymore.

7: The limit is defined in your php settings (php.ini parameter upload_max_filezize) and can't changed by the mod.

8: The thumbnail size is as it is from the orignal file. If you wants to insert bigger images, why you don't use BBCodes and upload the images into your webspace e g. with a ftp client?

9: Which fields exactly?

[Maverick]

7)
Ah OK. It's perfect like that actually.

8)
I guess you're not getting it right. I don't want a bigger thumbnail. What I mean is adding another (facultative) field to upload/select the bigger screenshot in the Edit download page. And when you click the thumbnail on the Download page, it opens the bigger screenshot.

9)
Category>Rules
or
Download>Description


10)
Copyright Year is not up to date (2002-2010)

Also note that when I try to enter a Location in my profile on this site, it is not registered. I click Submit but nothing happens, if I come back to Edit profile, there's no entry. And I just tested to enter a website, it's the same. So I guess it's the same for other entries. Is it normal?

[oxpus]

8. But yes, I know what you mean, but the thumbnail feature is a thumbnail feature and not a photo gallery
Regard e. g. the extra place you need on your webspace/webserver for the second, "bigger" image file!!

9. Both: You can feel free to use BBCodes in these fields. The function was still implemented since the first 6.x release of the mod.

10. It is still changed with the new release (but: no release date for the moment!).

Also note that when I try to enter a Location in my profile on this site, it is not registered. I click Submit but nothing happens, if I come back to Edit profile, there's no entry. And I just tested to enter a website, it's the same. So I guess it's the same for other entries. Is it normal?

No this isn't normal. And I still know this error, but I was till now not able to check it out...
