Download problems 30 Sep 2008 08:53 #277

I can't get the files to download properly. It only downloads 0.5KB even though the files are 50 MB or so. See the following image:



The site is located at:

www.lcusandiego.com/index.php/students


The media files are hosted on a separate server.

This is for a non-profit school and I need to get the downloads working as quick as possible.

Thanks for your help.

What version of Joomla are you using? We are aware of a problem using 1.5.7 and are working on a solution but it is in process. We are not sure why the download stopped working.

A workaround is to not show the download icon and instruct students to right click and Save Target As for the file.

Also - be sure to put in a filesize in bytes for each media file, as well as a duration. The download class uses this information when constructing the download header for the browser.

Hi there,

Any news on next release? I'm still only able to either have a download OR be able to play the file on the site. I want to be able to both play and download the file.

Thanks for your reply.

Still working on it - sorry. A possible step right now - make sure these commands are in your php.ini file:

allow_url_fopen = On;
allow_url_include = On;

I'm working on a way to use curl as an option but have been super busy so haven't had time to get this all taken care of. Pray for me!

Welkom. I am a Christian site: maranataarad.ro/index.php?option=com_bib...eslist&Itemid=28 and use Joomla 1.5.8. When you give the green arrow that is not my song or video download. Which version should I use Joomla? Thank

The problem stems from different server configurations. See some above posts for hints. This has been a particularly difficult problem for us to solve. We are still working on the issue but may not have it totally solved by Bible Study version 6.0.11. You might subscribe to our newsletter from the link to the left to keep up to date on Bible Study versions and information.
