CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello, I am writing to ask for help with the Uploads module.
My provider has upgraded to MySql 5.7
Now when I insert the tag {Uploads category = all} it doesn't return any results. White page.
He told me that if the queries are not compliance (usually the aggregate ones) they won't work.

Could this be the problem? is an update planned?

It is a beautiful module, but so it is unusable.
Can someone help me?

Thanks for your attention

Unfortunately the developer of the Uploads module abandoned it some time ago. I don't think anyone has a fork planned, but depending upon your requirements there may be another option. DownMan is being developed as an alternative but not released yet.

See https://www.cmsmadesimple.org/module-forking-project for more details regarding module forking etc.

Possibly related (but as DIGI3 mentioned, it will not be fixed by the developer):

Actually that page needs updating:

• JMDownMan will be replaced by DownMan;
• Uploads has been forked and the replacement is UpMan;

Weird as it may seem, those are different modules with different objectives so it will make sense: DownMan is just a Downloads Manager which allows administrators to publish downloadable files with different criteria including specific visibility to different MAMS groups; Uploads Manager is a fork of Uploads which got it's name from a set of features that allowed frontend uploading of files which DownMan doesn't allow.
Both modules are almost ready for release and will be released in the next few weeks.
As a side note JMDownMan worked with FrontendUsers although didn't required it, while DownMan will work with MAMS although it will not require it to work. Uploads and UpMan also have the same gotcha: Uploads worked with FrontendUsers while UpMan will work with MAMS.

Hi, is there any news for the UpMan module?

Tanks

The final release has been a bit delayed by other priorities. But it's close to a final release. Just need to weed out some bugs.

And what about DownMan? JMDownMan is buggy (can’t change files, it just reloads the form with no input values and the server says “PHP Warning: Undefined variable $radio_sel in ~/modules/JMDownMan/function.uploadfile.php on line 88”) and I’d like to have something that is working properly.
