Downloads Pro Beta 2 Upgrade Issues :: Archived

Jonathan

Well I installed this module (after backing up my site) and I found the module in Admin >> Modules and clicked on install and then activated the module, but when I try to access the module I get the following error message:

CMS Error /home/jondall/public_html/includes/classes/template.php line 155: template->_tpl_load(): File themes/PH2_Blue/template/downloads/index.html does not exist or is empty

Anyone know what to do about this?

Thanks

I would normally say read the install instructions, but they omit to mention uploading the theme templates to the relevant themes.

@Jonathan: you need to upload the files in the theme/YOUR_THEME folder to the theme(s) on your site

Many thanks. I am not that technical so some simple things like that would easiily catch me out.

Cheers

I just installed this module but got this message.

On /index.php?name=Downloads
While executing query "SELECT d.lid, d.cid, d.title, d.desc_short, d.screen, s.url as img_url FROM cms_downloads_downloads d
LEFT JOIN cms_downloads_screenshots s ON (s.id = d.screen)
WHERE d.pick=1 AND d.active=1 ORDER BY RAND()"

the following error occured: Unknown column 'd.desc_short' in 'field list'

In: C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\modules\Downloads\index.php on line: 317

Can anyone help me with this problem..

I have just upgraded my 8.2c site to latest DF 9.0.6.1, and it is still using the "normal" downloads module.

When I try to load Downloads Pro Beta2, I receive the following error:

Code::

includes/db/db.php
CMS Warning line 51: On /admin.php While executing query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cms_downloads_downloads WHERE active=2" the following error occured: Unknown column 'active' in 'where clause' In: /var/www/vhosts/torn8oalley.com/httpdocs/modules/Downloads/admin/adwait.inc on line: 20

Installing this module breaks my site immediately with the above error. I have no opportunity to go in and do an upgrade like is suggested in a couple other spots.

I even saw somewhere about deleting this "adwait.inc" file as it is redundant. If it is redundant, why then is it included in the release from Trevor today? I suspect that is from an earlier version or some such.

In any event, this is what I get after the upgrade from 8.2c and the resulting attempt to install Downloads Pro Beta2. I have several other sites using the module, so am familiar with it. This happens to be the first site trying to use it after an upgrade from 8.2c.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

tks,

hmm, that's the second module with the problem.

admin.php?op=blocks&hideallblocks=1

deactivate your administration block, deactivate the downloads module, then upgrade the module.

Progress.

Was able to at least get Downloads Pro installed and upgraded properly.

I activate download again, and all is good.

As soon as I activate the Administration menu I get the following error:

Code::

includes/db/db.php
CMS Warning line 51: On /admin.php?op=blocks While executing query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cms_downloads_newdownload" the following error occured: Table 'nuke.cms_downloads_newdownload' doesn't exist In: /var/www/vhosts/torn8oalley.com/httpdocs/admin/wait/wait_downloads.php on line: 3

The table referenced does not exist currently in the database, but did in the backed up 8.2c database. THe following is from the backed up db prior to upgrade

Code::

-- Table structure for table `cms_downloads_newdownload`
-- 

CREATE TABLE `cms_downloads_newdownload` (
  `lid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `cid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `sid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `title` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `url` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `description` text NOT NULL,
  `name` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `email` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `submitter` varchar(60) NOT NULL default '',
  `filesize` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `version` varchar(10) NOT NULL default '',
  `homepage` varchar(200) NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`lid`),
  KEY `lid` (`lid`),
  KEY `cid` (`cid`),
  KEY `sid` (`sid`),
  KEY `title` (`title`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

Doesn't appear to be used, at least by me previously.

Again, any help is appreciated.

tks,

Phoenix

remove your redundant orphan files in admin/wait - there's a list in Wiki which should help.

swdiecast

If you mean, ....nuke.com/Wiki/id=17.html, I don't see any orphaned/unneeded files in admin/wait.

Perhaps I am overlooking something more obvious.

tks,

swdiecast

I deleted wait_downloads.php from admin/wait, and now I can at least enable the Administration block without any errors.

I still couldn't find reference to that file in the above wiki info.

The only remaining minor issue, which I don't think is a result of anything to do with Downloads Pro, but still relates to the Administration Menu Block is when clicking on Forum admin from that block, I get a blank white page with "Access Denied"

I guess I am off another search! LOL

tks,

Phoenix

ensure you don't have remnants in admin/modules and admin/links - logout of admin and login again.

swdiecast

Not sure what is going on here, or if this is normal.

Attached image shows multiple instances of homepage, compatibility, and version.

I never experienced this in the previous versions. Also, try changing to have 1 visible and 2 hidden for each doesn't do anything except make everything hidden. (Hey, it was worth a try!)

Anyone have any ideas?
