Project: ionFiles - Joomla Simple File Download

[aravot]

Should we uninstall reinstall or just overwrite files and folders, if uninstall will data be saved.

Uninstall will delete old data so for now I suggest overwriting files. I thought of this problem about 20 minutes after I released it. I'm going to look into making a version that is an upgrade package only.

If 0.6.0 is the latest then there were some minor problems like:
components/com_ionfiles/ionfiles.php line 177 did not have "order by ordering" when displaying the downloads.

administrator/components/com_ionfiles/admin.ionfiles.html.php line 82 and 327 had:

'class="$row$k"'

instead of:

'class="row$k"'

Hi and many thanks for the great file downloader, some times its just the little things in life..

anyway, a bug thing if I may, reordering files on the display end: I have edited the files as kindly suggested by karn but unfortunatly this doesnt work for me.

I have upgraded by overwriting all the files and your first post says version 1.5 but the download I get says 1.3 so I'm not sure if I have the uptodate version.


The ordering thing is a major when you have monthly files and they need to be changed, I really hope that there is a solution for this, please and thank you in advance.

Hello ItchyFanny,
This bug has already been fixed but I haven't released it yet. I've attached ionfiles.php as a zip. To fix this bug simply unzip and upload the files in:

/your/joomla/insall/components/com_ionfiles/

Nice one Jordan.

It works well on the File Edit (dropdown) but does not in the File Manager (up/ down arrows)

Still, I'm very happy that it works and you have shared it with us.

Thanks thanks and thrice, thanks.

Almost!, bit of bug.

Adding a new category, the browser throws this error:

Unknown column 'link' in 'field list' SQL=INSERT INTO jos_ionFile_Categories (title, name, published, ordering, access, groupname, link, linkURL)

VALUES ('Minutes 2004','Minutes 2004','0'0',4','0','Public',",")

Tried staring at it in phpMyAdmin but not sure how it insert it directly, sorry.

Also tried rolling back the ionfiles.php file but it didnt work.

Thanks again for your assistance.

This is a great component, gives just the integration i was looking for on a charity site i'm building. I've put about 12 downloads over 2 catagories, but no matter what i do i cannot rearrange the order.
The page is at retailtrustweek.org.uk under downloads, obviously.!
Any ideas?

Looks like you are missing the two new fields for the link. You must have overwritten the files instead of installing it new. Here is the SQL code you need to use to add those two fields:

ALTER  TABLE  `#__ionFile_Categories`  ADD  `link` INT NOT  NULL ,
 ADD  `linkURL` VARCHAR( 250  )  NOT  NULL

Replace the #_ with your table prefix. If you table prefix is 'jom' it would look like this:

ALTER  TABLE  `jom_ionFile_Categories`  ADD  `link` INT NOT  NULL ,
 ADD  `linkURL` VARCHAR( 250  )  NOT  NULL

If you need help let me know.

This was a bug in this release. I've attached (couple posts up) a file which you can view how to install and fix here:

Many thanks Jordan, it worked a treat.

Hi, just downloaded ionfiles, but when I try to install in in Joomla 1.0.12
it gives me the error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function com_install() in C:\wamp\www\joomla\administrator\components\com_in staller\component\component.class.php on line 193

I noticed that the version in the downloads says 1.4 while your post says that latest is 1.5.

Any clues?

Thanks
