Download File Manager Support Thread

[balihr]

I've just submitted the file to the contributions area and it's awaiting approval.

This module is designed to work with Zen Cart 1.5.x (although it is compatible with earlier versions, just needs admin/boxes). It's purpose is to allow admin to upload downloadable files to the /download directory directly from admin, there's no need to use FTP.

Here's a screenshot:


The plugin can be downloaded from the Plugins section.

A very handy mod, thank you what a great idea!
My only question (so far!), and i know you hint at it in the README...

this plugin expects you to use /download directory to store your files. If you're using a different directory, you'll need to update the plugin

could you give a few pointers as to which files/edits need to be changed/made please?

Sure. Changes are required in:
dfm_filelist.php - line 33, 63, 135, 136, 137, 138
upload.php - line 15

Basically, I just hard coded the path to the download directory. There are nicer solutions, but I built this real fast for a client to help them upload their files and then just packed it for everyone else...

That's great, I'll give it a go later

Like any good Zenner I'm trying this in Localhost (WAMP)...

after installation I constantly have the message box

Download File Manager v1.0 install completed!

at the top of my admin area.
Then upon attempting a PDF upload I receive an error log

 Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for /my.pdf in C:\wamp\www\test\MYADMIN\dfm_filelist.php on line 129

 Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for /my.pdf in C:\wamp\www\test\MYADMIN\dfm_filelist.php on line 14 

The manager displays the green tick/check symbol but the file does not make it into the 'download' folder (tried with default Download folder location too).

I just tested on a clean 1.5.1 and no problems...

The message box on top shouldn't show more than once, but you can delete the admin/includes/auto_loaders/config.dfm.php

Error logs - can't tell for sure, but I'd say it indicates a problem with your path. Since it's a local wamp install, I'm assuming you have all the required permissions...

Good day to all.
I have just installed the download file manager. My first install of a mod on Zen.
I am using the version 1.5.1
When I open the download manager Catalog - it opens with a Browse Button - I browse, select a file to upload - BUT THERE IS NO UPLOAD BUTTON TO UPLOAD FILES FOR DOWNLOAD.

it also shows a list of sample files for download - which downloads.
My concern is that it also shows an Index.html file which, when I click on gives a FORBIDDEN message.

Please assist me to get this mod properly working before I tackle more complex mods

There is no upload button. The module will automatically start uploading after you select the files or release it (Drag&Drop) on the upload area. There's no need for an upload button.
This feature works on ALL modern browsers including IE10. However, IE9 and older versions of IE do NOT support it and this module doesn't work on those browsers. If you're using IE9 or older, the best advice you'll ever get is to install Chrome or Firefox or Opera.

it also shows a list of sample files for download - which downloads.
My concern is that it also shows an Index.html file which, when I click on gives a FORBIDDEN message.

That index.html file is a standard part of Zen Cart and it's supposed to be there. You are not supposed to open it (it's a blank file anyway). Downloadable files are usually zip files and you can access those - it's the modification made in the admin/.htaccess file that allows you to start downloading it directly.

Hi, for some reason I cant upload .pdf-documents.
It works smooth with png, jpg etc. The size of the pdf is 100kb so that's not the problem.

My log sais the following:
[10-Dec-2013 05:01:23 America/New_York] PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/hifista1/public_html/login/download_file_manager.php:8) in /home/hifista1/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 113

And if I remove
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=" . CHARSET);
from init_template.php I only get the following error-log:

[10-Dec-2013 05:01:23 America/New_York] PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/hifista1/public_html/login/download_file_manager.php:8) in /home/hifista1/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 113


What could be wrong?

check the .htaccess file.. see if pdf files are allowed.. if not add them to the list of allowed files..
