It's probably the Path to Downloads setting. That one requires that you to put the path to the folder that will hold the downloads. It needs to be writeable from the vB script, so 755 permissions in some cases, 777 in others, depending on how your server is setup. It you type something in that field and then select another field, it will check to make sure it's set correctly and warn you if it's not.
Hi, Dylan
I tried both 775 and 777. still not working. Once i click on the "downloads" tag on nav_bar a blank window pops up saying "[h=1]The webpage cannot be found" Did i not set it up correctly? ->Path To Download i filled in "vb_download" that's the folder i named it under the root folder. [/h]terc

did you change the text in the File Name field?
If you want to give me temp admin access I can take a look at what's going on.

Hi, Dylan
I was trying to set up ->Manager Modeles but could figure out each one of them. Let say i would like to set it up like these:
1) I would to set to the way everyone can see the "download" tab displays on the nav_bar.
2) Only register user can download, comment and use favorite modules, and once the user click on download, i would like that it will automaticly take out certain credit from the user account.
3) Only Admin can upload zip or rar files.
How do i set the permissions on the following Modules:
Modcp: ?
Download Module: ?
Comment Modules: ?
Favorite Modules: ?
Global Module
Upload Module: ?
4) I uploaded the "vb_downloads" folder with 4 rar files for testing, but didn't work somehow, the file names are
vbdownload_1
vbdownload_2
vbdownload_3
vbdownload_4
Thanks in advance

Check it out again, it seems to be working right, I had to setup an extension for rar since that doesn't come with it.
I assumed you actually wanted admins, mods and super mods to be able to do the same stuff as registered users and not just the registered users, so I set it that way

When you go to upload a file underneath the text editor it says Select File. Click that and it will open a file box.
You set the option to allow password protection in the category. I updated your test category to allow it so you should see the option for the password now.
yeah, i can see the password protection option available, but not the file upload box you mentioned.

hi, Dylan, sorry about file upload box issue, it really doesn't know the file upload box cos i was using a netbook on windows xp, but then when i use a computer with windows 7 then it does show
hahaha, i'm glad that i could figure it out too. i uploaded about 3 testing rar files and they are working perfectly fine.
1)i have been trying to figure it out how to delete those no longer useful uploaded files but no luck yet.
2) also trying to make the password protection work but can't figure it out yet either, maybe because i'm using teamviewer to access to my desktop from work. I will have to make when i get home tonight.
So, i would like some help about how to delete those uploaded rar files that no longer need
Thanks again

In addition, i just stop by the dragonbyte tech downloads testing area and i also find out that the private users upload and download limitation is a very good option too, "Private Users
Please enter the usernames of the users that this download will be limited to. Seperate multiple users with a comma (,)." please teach me how to configure it too

There should be an option when viewing the download to edit/delete it.
To make a category able to have private downloads, just go to the ACP and go to manage categories. Click on the manage button next to the category you want to allow it on and select the option for Private.
Hi, Dylan
Now that everything you mentioned is showing on windows 7, but even i go to -> acp-> Downloads-> Manage Categories-> to set it as the follwoing:
"Allow Private Downloads" Yes
"Allow Password Protection" Yes
although i uploaded 2 rar files as private and password protected, any register user can download, edit even delete it if they want.
did i configure anything wrong? please help!
If you need to access to the website, the admin and pass are still the same.
Thanks

I just figured out that i have to set the Modcp Module to Admin, so now only admin can edit and delete.
but still have'nt figure out why private and password protected files can be downloaded.

I'll check the code, I haven't played with the private/password part of it before.
Looking forward to hear from your good news about how out make the personal and password protection part to work correctly.
I really do appreciate your time and help

I set vbcredits II Deluxe to charge 18 point from any member who download a rar file from vbdownload, everything is fine, but at the "Transactions" tab on nav_bar shows on "Action" as "Dragonbyte-Tech: Downloads - Download" if i don't want it to show as it is, insteat i would like to chenge the "Dragonbyte-Tech: Downloads - Download" to something else like some other name.
How do i change it?
PS here is a link The Eatertainment Authentic Restaurant And Bakery Style Recipes Cooking Siu Mei Lo Mei Dim Sum Bread Bun Pastry Sushi Dessert drinks etc you may use your admin to access
Thanks again

I believe that's something inside of vbcredits. I don't know how to change the name of an activity besides through the back end database. I'm tagging Darkwaltz4, if there's an easier way to rename, he'd know
