I also wanted to change this (I'm using Ravennuke 7.6 v.2.1 with NSN GR Downloads). I looked around a bit and I found something in includes/nsngd_func.php.
In the function showlisting($lid) I changed

Code:

if (($lidinfo['sid'] == 0) || ($lidinfo['sid'] == 1 AND is_user($user)) || ($lidinfo['sid'] == 2 AND is_admin($admin)) || ($lidinfo['sid'] > 2 AND of_group($priv)) || $dl_config['show_download'] == '1') {

to

Code:

// if (($lidinfo['sid'] == 0) || ($lidinfo['sid'] == 1 AND is_user($user)) || ($lidinfo['sid'] == 2 AND is_admin($admin)) || ($lidinfo['sid'] > 2 AND of_group($priv)) || $dl_config['show_download'] == '1') {

and

Code:

} else {
restricted2($lidinfo['sid']);
}

to

Code:

/* } else {
restricted2($lidinfo['sid']);
}*/

It works, I just hope this is the right way to do it (I'm a newbie Wink

)

Raven,

I have RN 2.10. This code at the start of the thread doesn't work for me. Is there a change to get it to work in latest RN?

thanks

You could try the changes I posted above your post. I also have RN 2.10 Wink

Tried the above code by st247, but it did not work.

I'm using RN2.3, with nsn gr downloads and noticed all the settings are located in the includes/nsngd_func.php, but when i added the above code, all that loaded was a blank page.

(1) How could i allow all downloads to be shown to everyone, but only Group members can actually download?

Also, i wondered if you could advise me, regarding when i input a new download, it states what users can download that file, etc, but my issue is that all the groups that are input by nsn groups, are only individually shown in nsn gr downloads.

For instance, (2) how can i make a download available to all groups, rather than just one group only?

It would really be appreciated if someone could please advise me.

xx Bless xx

The enhanced downloads module is not NSN downloads. It is something different.

Great mod I used it several years for Nuke 6.5

Also, this thread is 3 years old

I understand this is an old topic, but its still a question with nsn gr downloads, which i am using at present.

Quote:

For instance, (1) how can i make a download available to all groups, rather than just one group only?

Also the passcode to actually download the file does not work, even after refreshing the page countless times, therefore no passcode, no download.
Could anyone please advice me.

pureliving, regarding the passcode, you need to make it compatible with RN. I have a thread on my site for making this work:

Montego, i followed your instructions with the passcode, and also installed NSN GR Downloads Tap 1.2.2 from your website

Only registered users can see links on this board!
Get registered or login to the forums!

but still:

1, when i log in as a user, and go to a download, all it shows is a icon stating Get It, thereby no passcode at all, not even a word now.

and

2, guests can not view downloads, still stating this can only be viewed by registered users, whereas it should now show to guests, and state only registered users can download.

Don't suppose there is anything else i could try to get this working please?
It would really be appreciated to have your advice.

Rename the ShortLinks/GT-Downloads.php file to something else and retest. Let us know if that works.

pureliving · Worker Joined: Dec 01, 2008 Posts: 175

Changed the file to GT-NSNDownloads.php, refreshed my admin, and everything seems the same.

Nothing different has occurred or no changes seem to have been made.

I am really starting to think more on a permissions basis or at least an issue in anything be able to download, as not even check works when adding download url.
Could this have anything to do with permissions within my file manager directory at all, as i was thinking this as a possibility, but changed all settings for the downloads folder to 777; still nothing.
I activated anti leech protection, still nothing.

I really can't understand this; no passcode, no download!!!!!

pureliving, if you are willing to be patient, as I have only minutes here and there to do things like this, maybe I can take a look at your setup and files. I would need the following in order to accomplish this:

* An admin user id with access to Downloads
* A FTP user id (so I can look at your files and/or upload revised ones)
* A regular user id with one group assigned to it and one download set up with that group also tied to it.

Maybe I can help get this thing going.

Everyone if you have a problem with downloading file you have under a correct directory and you know for certain your links are correct trying looking in your downloads .htaccess file.

I couldn't find the answers i require, so i therefore asked a little advise from my host, only to have a solution; this is what they said:

Quote:

Under the directory public, you had this in your .htaccess:
#deny from all

Which will deny from everyone. Once I removed that I was able to download.

Can't believe a simple thing like like, caused so many days of problems.

Suppose we learn from errors!!!

Guardian2003 · Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2009 7:24 pm

I think that file is there to stop people listing the contents of the directory and accessing the downloads directly but if you have a blank inde.html in there, you should be ok.

pureliving · Worker Joined: Dec 01, 2008 Posts: 175

Well i have a blank index.html file under the public folder, but not my downloads folder.

For this i have used anti-leech protection, which is better security.
Therefore then inputting the following into the .htaccess file in my downloads folder:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond ${LeechProtect:/home/*******/public_html/modules/Downloads/public/downloads:%{REMOTE_USER}:%{REMOTE_ADDR}:5} leech
RewriteRule .*

So i hope there won't be a problem there.

If you understand what the re write condition does then I'm sure you are right to be confident in it's ability.

pureliving · Worker Joined: Dec 01, 2008 Posts: 175

I sense a bit of if and but there Guardian, whether i'm right or not share with me your thoughts please.

Well initially i heard a rumour that leech protect can have dramatic effects on the search engines, such as google, but then i heard it was just proper ganda, and that the efforts of google indexing are opening up more to nuke based websites, which do have downloads modules, with at times a lot of users using leech protection.

Well as they say ''the world wasn't built in a day'', so i'm still learning and willing to advance my skills where neccessary, so all your advise is appreciated if you could further enlighten me on that one please Guardian.
