Hello,
I am having an issue with my downloads page in my pilot center. It wont pop up with the download. I can download it from the admin side. My developer has been able to download it twice and i cant figure out what would be causing this on my end. Attached is a pic of my downloads page. Could it be a browser setting or computer? I cant do it with firefox or internet exploder. Any help would be great.
I had this issue on another site I was working on a couple years back. No matter what I did, I could not get it to pop up the download. I had to delete the java from it and just have the people click the link to manually start the download. Down and dirty fix but it worked. I never revisited the issue as I parted ways with the web owners and called it at that. Not sure if they ever fixed it or not.
Can you answer these for me:
If you’re having the problem, and someone else is not…It probably is a compatibility issue. With Chrome, I never had this problem.
Firefox 49 on Windows 7
Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7
Everything is now up to date, still same ending.
no ad blocker or add ons like that
i am checking on the last questions with the developer.
I would copy the file link address directly into my browser to see if it starts downloading. If it does then the problem is within phpVMS.
I have done that and it worked, plus i can go into my admin side and download it from there.

Please paste your entire codes here so we can figure out what’s wrong .
I think, i am still trying to locate where everything is. This is the files that has anything to do with my downloads in my profiles
This is from download_item.tpl
<div align=“center”>
<p>Your download will start in a few seconds, or <a href=“<?php echo $download->link;?>”>click here to manually start.</a></p>
</div>
<script type=“text/javascript”>
window.location = “<?php echo $download->link;?>”;
</script>
This is from downloads.tpl
<h1>Downloads</h1>
<?php
if(!$allcategories)
{
echo ‘There are no downloads available!’;
return;
}
foreach($allcategories as $category)
{
?>
<p><h2><strong><?php echo $category->name?></strong></h2></p>
<ul>
<table class=“table”>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Description</th>

<?php
$alldownloads = DownloadData::GetDownloads($category->id);
if(!$alldownloads)
{
echo ‘There are no downloads under this category’;
$alldownloads = array();
}
foreach($alldownloads as $download)
{
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $download->name?></td>
<td><?php echo $download->description?></td>
<td>Downloaded <?php echo $download->hits?> times</td>

</button> </td>

<?php
}

Check your host’s php version if it’s 5.5x then your phpVMS needs to be upgraded to 5.5x by Simpilot which is the most reliable version and doing that will resolve all the issues you might have. If you have already done that then check your codes with the originals here to see if there is a difference.
