PHPVMS Downloads Problem

[greertr]

The downloads page, when you click on a download goes into an infinite loop situation and the page just sits there clicking at you as it continuously reloads.

I know this has to do with a loop function in the code, but Iive not been able to resolve it.

Anyone else expreience this or have an idea?

thanks in adv

Hi,

I had the same issue, I uploaded all my fleet to a file at my host, then worked all the links out then added one to the download section.

I thought I would test it, clicked on the link and same as you, the screen just kept cycling round, in the end I had to click elsewhere on the site to stop it.

If anyone can give us any ideas, gratefully rec'd.

Cheers

How did you solve it?

Thanks!

Yeah how did you solve it? I think since we are a self supporting community, when ever we solve an issue we need to post it so that others may benefit as well. Also, another important thing is what skin were you using? Was it default? Addon? or custom by you? And what version of phpVMS.

HI guys,

sorry for the slow reply, if I remember right I just checked the link, there was a space that was not there which it should have been, then it worked.

check and re-check the download link with where the file is and what you put on your site

example

correct link

/phpvms/Fleet/5 STAR Stearman.rar

incorrect

/phpvms/Fleet/5 STARStearman.rar

it was that small

if I click on a download goes into an infinite loop situation and the page just sits there clicking at you as it continuously reloads

i have checked the link and it is correct

my code is

<h1>Downloads</h1>

<?php
if(!$allcategories)
{
echo 'Der er ingen downloads!';
return;
}

foreach($allcategories as $category)
{
?>
<p><h2><strong><?php echo $category->name?></strong></h2></p>
<ul>

<?php
# This loops through every download available in the category
$alldownloads = DownloadData::GetDownloads($category->id);

if(!$alldownloads)
{
echo 'Der er ingen downloads';
$alldownloads = array();
}

foreach($alldownloads as $download)
{
?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo url('/downloads/dl/'.$download->id);?>">
<?php echo $download->name?></a><br />
<?php echo $download->description?><br />
<a href="<?php echo url('/downloads/dl/'.$download->id);?>"> <img src="<?php echo $download->image?>"></a><br />
<em>Downloaded <?php echo $download->hits?> times</em></li>
<br/>
<?php
}
?><br />
</ul>
<?php
}
?> 

how can I fix it?

thank's

Hi,

it is the link that causes the loop, check it on your host then check on your site it will be a small thing, I got it wrong due to a capital letter out of place.

hope that helps.
