help with download module

[wiredgeorge]

I run a small forum. We have TP Downloads module installed. We recently changed hosting companies and for whatever reason, the tp-downloads directory lost a number of files which had been available to our forum members for downloading. I ftp'd the files to the directory tp-downloads but they don't re-associate with the database entries that show up in the DOWNLOADS directory on the forum.  Where is the link to the tp-downloads directory set within the forum software? I can't find it under the DOWNLOADS MANAGER suite. Thanks. The path had been .../forum/tp-downloads

Hi wiredgeorge,

Welcome to TinyPortal.

We need to have a little more information about your Forum in order to help you.    Could you Please Read and Follow the Posting Guidelines.  There is a posting template in that topic that you will need to fill out and include in your original post.

Thanks. The path had been .../forum/tp-downloads

This statement caught my eye.  Is your forum no longer at YourSite.com/forum/index.php?  Once I see the information requested in the Posting Guidelines, that should give us the answer to this question.

OOPS... Let's try again... path to images:

http://www.wgcarbs.com/forum/tp-downloads

There are quite a few files that have not made it back into the TinyPortals Downsloads area of the forum but appear in the directory listing in the tp-downloads directory. Take this file:

Kawasaki kz750twin 78 full with 80and 81 sup.zip

I ftp'd it into the tp-downloads directory yesterday and it doesn't show up as a submission.

Check all

OK, it's possible that the paths for your Forum are not correct after the move from one host to another.  It might be a good idea to run repair_settings.php

Read this ---> What is repair_settings.php?

See if that fixes the problem.  If not, LMK.  If that doesn't solve the problem, I might need to take a look at site from inside.

TP version: TP ver 9.8

I was afraid of that.  I no longer have a TP 0.98 test site online so I may not be the best one to help on this.  LMK what happens when you run repair_settings.php and, if that doesn't fix it, I will register on your site.  After I do that, I will post back here and you can make me an Admin so that I can look inside.  Normally I'd just let you setup a temp Admin account and PM me the login details but since you don't yet have 5 posts here and can't yet send a PM, the best way would be for me to register and have you Admin me.  Then I can take a look at it.

The fella who hosts my forum & business website tells me he just ran the repair script and nothing changed; all appeared OK as far as paths go. Please register for the forum and I will make you an admin. I will not get to it until tomorrow AM early as I have a Bible study this evening. Thanks! wg

[ZarPrime]

OK, I am registered.  Make me an Admin at your leisure and I'll check it later tonight or tomorrow.

ZarPrime

[wiredgeorge]

Wow. That was fast. You are now registered and admin. Thanks - will check in tomorrow. wg

[ZarPrime]

wiredgeorge,

OK, I've looked at your downloads and it does indeed appear that some are missing.  Have you verified that all of the files that are supposed to be in the tp-downloads folder on your site are indeed there?  For instance, it says that you should have 8 files in the "Reference Data" category but only one seems to show up.  Have you verified that all 8 of the files that are supposed to be in that category are in the tp-downloads folder?

If all of the files are in the folder, this actually seems like it might be an issue with the database.  I am going to talk to a couple of other TP Team Members about this to see what they have to say about it.  We may need to have access to your cpanel (phpMyAdmin) in order to sort this out so you should be aware of that. 

I will be back as soon as I find out something.

ZarPrime

[wiredgeorge]

Not all files have been replaced that are referenced in the data base. I know I still have things to move but that isn't really the issue.

If you look at the TOC page:

http:www.wgcarbs.com/forum/tp-downloads

You will find this file is present:

Kawasaki kz750twin 78 full with 80and 81 sup.zip

PROBLEM

First, this was the first file I ftp'd into the directory as a member was requesting it. When I went into the Downloads Manager and click on the SUBMISSIONS tab, I don't see this file.

When I click on the ADMIN tab, I see the following (among other things):

Kawasaki Service Manuals 46

When I click on the Kawasaki Service Manual link, there are only 11 items and the Kawasaki kz750twin 78 full with 80and 81 sup.zip is not one of them.  I also see one entry that is an empty file.  How do I get the Kawasaki kz750twin 78 full with 80and 81 sup.zip to show up in the submissions and how do I get rid of the empty file reference?

Last issue and not really related directly to this immediate issue... the UPLOAD function doesn't work. It provides a function to upload and appears to be ftp-ing data but after a long time, the connection always drops and no file is uploaded. Any insight on this issue would be helpful.

[ZarPrime]

I am aware of these things that you have mentioned.  I believe that some of the database fields for some of the files have somehow gotten messed up.  I have posted a topic on the Team Board to ask some of the others who are more familiar with TP 0.98 about this issue.  Please bear with me.
