− | == | + | == DFFD Download Referer Blocking == |
− | + | Is there a reason you don't allow download.php links to work from the wiki? I don't see the need to have the user to view the download page from the page describing it to begin with. | |

− | + | If you could allow that, it would be nice. —[[User:Rick|Rick]] 22:56, 23 March 2008 (EDT) | |
− | + | :Yeah, that's a quirk with the way browsers handle redirection. The referer is checked for future load balancing between multiple download servers, and a direct link to download.php gives the wrong referer info to the download server after redirection. I've spent quite a lot of time trying to find workarounds for that same issue (I played around with every redirection method available) on another game file hosting site I have, with no success. This other site uses a lot of bandwidth (~2.5TB per month at the moment) and has just such a load balancing scheme to handle all of the downloads. | |
− | : | + | :So, I guess you could say it's a necessary evil. If I removed that restriction now and later have to put it back into place due to load balancing, it could lead to a lot of people needing to change their links then. I think it's better to have it remain consistent from the beginning, after having dealt with people having to update their download links to my other file hosting site. --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 23:36, 23 March 2008 (EDT) |

− | + | When uploading a new version of a file, this does not reset the number of downloads and other information. See [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=74 tweak page] for an example, I recently uploaded 1.2.0.0 (old was 1.1.0.0). —[[User:Rick|Rick]] 03:11, 31 March 2008 (EDT) | |

− | + | :Well, the downloads and views counters not resetting (along with vote data and so forth) is intentional. That way it tracks the data through all versions uploaded. If you want to reset those counters for whatever reason, you can create a new listing and optionally delete the old one. | |
+ | :However, I do need to fix the issue of updated listings not showing up as the latest file in the "Newest Files" RSS feed and on the Statistics page. It's just one of those details I haven't gotten to yet. Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to get that issue fixed in the next few days or so. --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 03:29, 31 March 2008 (EDT) | ||

+ | ::Maybe provide an option for resetting counters when editing a file? —[[User:Rick|Rick]] 03:29, 31 March 2008 (EDT) | ||
+ | |||
+ | :::Not a bad idea. I'll probably add that feature in as well. --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 03:32, 31 March 2008 (EDT) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Also, it seems that the different upload mechanism is understandably a little confusing to people used to regular file upload/submission forms in that the file upload is embedded in the submission form and needs to be completed before submitting the listing. | ||
+ | I'll modify it to check and see if no file was yet uploaded and give you a message telling you as much if you click the button to submit the listing without uploading. It will be a simple "OK" option if it's a new listing, and a "Submit without uploading new file? Yes/No" option if it's an edit. Probably should have added that modification in earlier. --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 04:05, 31 March 2008 (EDT) |
