Project: ionFiles - Joomla Simple File Download

[aravot]

When trying to install ionFiles v1.5 I get the following error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function com_install() in www/joomla/administrator/components/com_installer/component/component.class.php on line 193

Joomla 1.012
Database Version: 5.0.27-community-nt
PHP Version: 5.2.1
Web Server: Apache/2.2.4

But I can install on anther domain of mine with the following config
Joomla 1.0.12
Database Version: 4.1.14-Debian_5-log
PHP Version: 5.2.1
Web Server: Apache/1.3.37

Could it be a database or Apache version issue?

I've seen this issue before and it is almost always a Windows Issue. From the database version it looks like the problem is an NT machine and the working is a Debian?

Thanks for the reply, how does category link work?

[devnet]

No, this shouldn't cause the problems you see. It is working correctly but something has gone wrong and caused the ordering to mess up. I believe it will work if you do as I suggested above.

No dice on the fix...still gives the same error and will not let me reorder. I'm willing to beta test anything you can give me

I will consider changing this, will you be willing to beta test?

I wouldn't mind to beta test this. if you need, i will send you my e-mailadress on wich you can mail the new package to.

Greetings eagle00789

[edit]Just for your information: i already changed all uppercase table names in all files to lowercase an renamed the tables itself to lowercase without any problems. i have it already working on my site Eagle's Software Shack - Startpagina[/edit]

You can set the category to a link and add a URL. When users see ionFiles they can then click on categories. This was a feature request. Let me know if you need help using it.

Hmm....It is hard for me to diagnose this problem. I'll send you another PM.

Great! If you zip it up and send it to me I'll use that in the next release and mention your name/website on the vBulletin page and here as a contributor.

I hope that you don't mind me doing this, but i am making your nice component multi lingual safe (completely translatable by a simple .php file) i'm testing right now if this works

[eagle00789]

translation and editing of this fine component is complete. The attached version is now supported by JoomFish (see the joomfish forum here for the files to be able to translate with joomfish)
Also this changed version includes the possibility to translate all other frontpage text (not the administrator text) in any language by translating a simple php file in the new language directory wich is located at: components/com_ionfiles/language/

i hope that this version will definitly going to be the new official version as it currently is not offical

Be sure to check my site for the JoomFish Content Element Files for ionFiles and other components

[update]Now has complete compatability with joomfish.[/update]

Actually I had requested this but I don't understand how it works.

I thought if I create a category called 'Basic Math' and set to a link I would be able to create a menu link to 'Basic Math' category.

Example:
Downloads <--- main ionfile component (root)
|-> Basic Math <---- category (linkable so can make menu item
| |->Chapter One <------ file
| |->Chapter Two <------ file
|-> Pre Algebra <---- category (linkable so can make menu item
| |-> Chapter One <------ file

Excellent, thank you! I'll include this along with your name and website on the next release. There are a few other things I have to incorporate before the next version is released.

Yes, that it correct except you will need to get the URL yourself instead of ionFiles taking you to a selection menu.
