I tried this great mod, but can't seem to get it to work right. When adding a category, the mod creates a folder like "forum_downloads\myfolder". I can then upload a file in this category. But when trying to download the file, the server can't find it. It's looking for "forum_downloads/myfolder/myfile" Is there a mix up with "/" and "\" ?
Please help me, cause I have announced this download section on my forum.
That's alll correct so far. When you can see the download in your category, what is the link to the file itself like? Des it point to the file, and if yes, does the iusr account have the correct permissions?

Hi again. When the folder is created, it's called "/forum_downloads\myfolder". I can't access the folder, and I can't download from it. The link to the file is "/forum_downloads/myfolder/myfile.doc" I don't know anything about IUSR account, cause it's setup by my host. But I assume that it's ok.
I checked that again (I used the admin_downloads.asp from the zip file) and it definitly works. So let's see whats going wrong with your configuration...
Let's assume you have your forum in www.domain.com/forum/ You would then 1. create a subdirectory in the /forum/ directory called /downloads - you would create that folder with your ftp client 2. access this folder with the browser by browsing to www.domain.com/forum/downloads" target="_blank">http://www.domain.com/forum/downloads (if your host set up the webserver correctly you would get a Listing denied error) 3. assure that the folder has write / change permissions for anonymous access - that's the job of your host 4. got to admin section to configure downloads and enter the created directory in the top part of the admin page - just enter downloads and hit on submit. The script will check if the permissions on the folder are set correctly.
If everything was correct so far you may create a category called Democat - the script would create a folder called democat as a subfolder of /downloads. You might use your ftp client again to check if the folder has been created.
Thanks for your quick reply. I have checked my permisions on the server, and I have write/change permisions. But still, when I browse in my FTP client, the folder is "/forum_downloads\myfolder" And the file is download is pointing to "/forum_downloads/myfolder/myfile.doc" The server is running ChiliASP, and the databse is MySQL. Could this be a problem? Could I do anything to check that my script is creating the folder proberly?
There is your issue there. ChiliASP does not allow for the windows scripting host which this mod uses to upload.

You need to run it on a windows hosted system from past experience.
Well I installed it and i was more than happy with it, exactley what I was looking for and easy to install, ie very few problems that couldn't be fixed by an amateur
Great Mod Proeder
I think you should take on a mod for a photo album next
Well there are few photo album mods out there which seem to work quite well...
Thanks anyways. But I love more and more the use of additional third party components which provide upload and photo album features to which most of the snitz users cannot revert as they are on any shared hosting. It is not the worth the effort building mods based on the use of such components because there are so many different components out there.
