Files Database

Post by Derek »

Derek wrote:Update: As of the launch of the new site you must be registered to download files. The same permissions have been set for post attachments ( http://www.bp6.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=472 ). This was done to help protect our bandwidth; you can browse the picture gallery and message board without registering.
Slowly but surely I�m modifying the attachments modification to suite our needs. Once the modifications are complete, the next step will be to get lots of files, and upload them to their proper category. I will sort all the files we currently have on BP6.Com, but we�ll need a team to keep it updated and organized. If anyone is interested, just post here to let me know (only post if you�re serious and really want to help).

If the �files thing� isn�t for you, we�ll need a crew for the FAQ database; just wait for me to post an announcement about the FAQ database and sign up at that time.

I'll go into more detail about how the files database will work when it's ready to be launched.

More Changes

Post by Derek »

Okay you're in.

I've changed my plans for the database, you'll notice the changes; It will be more manageable this way.

I need to know: Should you be required to be logged in to download files, or should anyone (registered or unregistered) be able to download the files? Originally I wanted only registered used to have download privileges but now I'm not certain.

Edit: I've added a poll.

anyway - if i can help in any way, just let me know.
That's what I was thinking. Not to mention you must already be logged into the message board to view attachments.

At least if they're registered there's a slight chance they might give as well as take.

Registered for me.

You can not download this file directly from another site!
Some of you have encountered this error when trying to download files from the database. This problem will be fixed when with the next update of the database software. For the time being, disable your firewall when downloading from this site (if the problem applies to you).

I'm working on the File Database software. If you find any bugs or encounter problems, let me know by posting here.

Once again you have to log in to download files.

Thanks,

Derek
