Download Mgr Mod

[Eternity]

Hi sorry I am absolutely desparate to get my hands on this module and tried to install the simple download module.  It didn't seem to work or perhaps I did something wrong (more likely)  but it shows up as installed on my forum package manager but not on the actual forums.  I am using TP with SMF 1.05 and installed the Apollo theme.

I cant see anything anywhere though I installed the mod and it is showing as installed and has a green light.  Alternatively when is download manager in the next version of TP being released please. It is a fresh forum and TP so I definitely don't mind beta beta testing as I have not announced the launch of that part of the website yet and there are no members yet except the admin me of course.

have you tried to switch to the normal theme ? then you should see the button of the mod.

Most mods only install to the default theme. If you want to see the mod in the Apollo theme you will have to make the necessary changes to it.

Also, be sure to install NEW themes which are made for TinyPortal.
They are also in the download area, and can be found on this board in the Themes for TinyPortal topic.

Thanks I have just done that and can see it now and all the categories and folders I created and uploaded in ftp are now visible.  Thanks.

Thanks Ichbin yes that is the problem and I am not gifted in template modifications.  I will probably try to look around for a template that embraces and accomodates that particular mod or I might give the changes a bash.

Thank you I will be sure to do that.

Really thanks that would be great if someone could give me some pointers cause I really do like the Apollo theme and would love to amend it so we can use it on the site.  We are using it in a charity website in a downloads section so we would appreciate any assistance.

If look at the bottom of the index.template.php file you will find a section that starts with this:
function template_menu()

Right below that you'll find this line:

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/home.gif" alt="' . $txt[103] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'], '


Hit return to create an empty line and add this right after that line above. You need to change the link to your needs where it says linktodownload.

Code Select Expand

<a href="linktodownload">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/download.gif" alt="download" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : Download), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'], '


You'll probably need a button. You can create one here.
