Downloads images & fetch mod

Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2005 5:58 pm

I´ve noticed that i have the same problem with the gifs in the downloads module I had before with 6.5. If there are new downloads the gifs are not displayed in both languages means in English and German.
The solution I used before was in the language file. But I couldn´t visit the forum where I posted the fix because nukescripts forum is closed.
Anyway, if I remember it was only this line in the language file:

define("_LINKSDATESTRING","%d-%b-%Y");

In the 7.6 it´s in both language files defined. So I quess it´s not the solution anymore.

Any other ideas how to get this working ?

I´have installed the fetch mod and it worked proper until yesterday when I started to google tap the distro. I´m not really sure if this is the problem because I ´m not finished with GT but it was working and today I got a blank field for the password but the password is in the popup. The link looks like this:downloads.html?d_op=gfx&random_num=mitgizik

Any ideas why the password field is blank ?

Susann, my appologies, but I don't have alot of time to think this through or test anything, but wanted to see if the following would help point you in the right direction. I had a problem with NSN GR Downloads when I GT'd and had to come up with the following GT statements (I am sure you will recognize where they go):

Code:




"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Downloads&amp;op=gfx&amp;random_num=([0-9]*)'",





"download-gfx-\\1.html",





RewriteRule ^download-gfx-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Downloads&op=gfx&random_num=$1

Something to know about me: I am not much for "elegance", so the above, I am sure is not the ONLY way to fix what was ailing me, but maybe it will help?? It fixed my issue.

Regards,

Thanks montego

That´s interesting.I´ll check it out.

Really a FAQ or How to Google Tap this Distro would be great.

The downloads gif e.g. new_1.gif doesn´t work. If someone is using a German language file for the downloads I would like to know what´s in your LINKSDATESTRING ?

I am not speaking for Raven, but I could have sworn that I saw somewhere a now prioritized "wish list" for this distribution and I believe GoogleTap was on that list. However, since it requires core file changes, I am not sure if Raven is re-considering it.

We will have to wait and see.

Google Tap is on the list but the most users are interested in other stuff like Photo Gallery etc. However thousand wishes for this Distro but in my opinion GT is standard and without these you get a problem with spidering the site and finally ranking in search engines.

Btw: Fixed my Fetch Mod problem it´s working with GT. Smile

If someone get get the same problem with this Distro GT and Fetch Mod i ´ll post the code.

Susann, please post the code. It's always good to have it. However, be forwarned, my GT code may bastardize your code. So if that happens, please just work around it, misspell modules or whatever Laughing

I found the image fix for my Nuke 6.5 Version long time ago at the authors homepage at http://www.2thextreme.org.
In his forum are different fixes for images problems with the Fetch Mod. If I remember correctly the only problem was this line:

Code:

if (extension_loaded("gd2")) { 


        $codepass = "<s cript type=\"text/javascript\">

changed:

Code:







if (0/*extension_loaded("gd")*/) {


        $codepass = "<s cript type=\"text/javascript\">

However, I´ m using now the same code because it works also for the 7.6 GT Distro. Couldn´t find an error, but it works without the helpbox. For the helpbox are some changes necessary e.g. the path, otherwise the helpbox doesn´t work.

Make sure you have in 7.6 this added in modules/Downloads/index.php:

Quote:

switch($d_op) {
case "gfx":
gfx($random_num);
break;

This line goes to #Downloads in .htaccess:
(with [L] for GT 0.4.a)

Code:




RewriteRule ^download-get-([a-zA-Z0-9+]*).html modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=gfx&random_num=$1  [L]

Works also perfect with your Downloads Hack. Smile
