- Zip Updated 20.02.2004: Bug in dbs File
- Zip Updated 21.02.2004: Bugs in error listings
Hi,
as all the available download libs and filesharing mods did not satisfy me enough, I built something on my own. It works very well for me and if somebody is interested in using it itself - feel free to do so!
With this only admins or moderators can be authorised to make downloads available. You would define a main downloadfolder in which you would create different categories, for each of them a subfolder will be created. You may
- upload files with your browser
- replace existing files with the browser (e.g. you built a new version of a mod
 - delete files
set downloads online / offline
All file operations are made by the script, so be carefull what you are doing - deleting a downlodd will delete the file as well!
I prepared a demosite btw. on which you can checkout all this. Admin login is available.
Eval Forum
The mod comes in german and english version, included are readmes and dbs files.
Have fun.
Dowload dierctly here: Download Mod |

Another easy to install mod there Proeder..
Only issue is a missing & in inc_header.asp modification.
'##################### proeder's download mod: Link to filelibrary.asp ##################################
if strAllowDownloads = "1" then
Response.Write " <a href=""filelibrary.asp""" & dWStatus("Downloads") & " tabindex=""-1""><acronym title=""Downloads"">Downloads</acronym></a>" & vbNewline

I am quite sure, that this won't be the last issue... Everything seems to work fine right now, but as I had a lot of trouble getting all the uploads / replace / delete operations to work without errors I am quit sure, that someone will run into a problem I was not aware of (There are so many cases you would have to think of...)
Let's have a look if that was the last & 
The one you mentioned was actually the same than in the attachment mod
Zip updated. |

| Is this tested with MySQL? I got an error when running the dbs, it said that the FORUM_UPSIZE already existed. Checked in phpmyadmin and it's not there =) |

No this is not tested with MySQL Unfortunately I do not have the knowledge to do so; just glad that it works with SQL Server as well as with Access.
Your post does make me suppose you are running the board on a non windows server? I mentioned that shortly in the readme, maybe I need to make that more clear: I do not think that this mod will run on any other machine than a windows server as the script takes advantage of some windows file operations scripting options.
But anyways, I do not see any reason why it should recognize the table upsize while it's nt there...? Which dbs did you run? |

I always get "invalid string in filename" regardless of what file I use. I assumed that it may refer to a filename with a space in it but not the case, still get same results when I try a file with no space. I'm using Windows Server 2003 so the space shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah I had that problem too once. You might have a username with a space in it? I ask because the script actually renames the file by putting the username before it; test.zip would become admin_test.zip for example.
Look in lib_upload.asp for filename = author & "_" & filename and comment that line out.
If that does not help, look for if not IsValidString(trim(filename)) then
AllowExpression=false
else
AllowExpression=true
end if right after that write AllowExpression=true
If that solves your problem, there is something in the isValidString function which does not allow your file. Let's first see what happens.
You're sure you're talking about the filename? |

There is a bug in the dbs which I did not recognize with Access but with SQL Server. Maybe that will solve your problem too. I updated the Zip right now, please doownload it again.
The upgrade dbs is only helpful if you have installed my attachment mod as it will not create the upsize table. |

installed! =) This is working with MySQL =)
But I get the same error as CareFree when trying to upload a file. No space, no strange characters or anything. "error.gif" for example, I'm logged in as super-admin. |

Is that a server error or an error which is created by the script? Also did you try to turn off the isvalidstring function as I told Carefree?
If there is a problem with the function that would interest me as well... |

It's your error in german/english. Also, I have to select the text in the errormsg, otherwise it don't show. It's the same color as the background.
I'll try that isvalidstring-stuff now =) |

This is the errormsg:
Dateigrösse - You did not provide a filesize
Beschreibung - You did not provide a description
Invalid string in filename Please do not use one of the following characters:
"!#$%^&*()=+{}[]|\;:/?>,<'@
Please do not use spaces in filenames!
tried adding the "AllowExpression=true" with no luck.
Also, what syntax should I use in the "filesize" box? "32kB" or "32000"(bytes) or something else?
EDIT: No luck with commenting out the "filename = author & "_" & filename" either. |

I also get these errors (in english of course). Mind you they are in the same color as the backgound so it makes it harder to read.quote:

I have also tried the work arounds, but sinply find by not using any other characters other than Letters, numerics and a spaces, it works fine.
I was looking for for an answer before making it available to members.  |
