If you try and download any addon via the wowace plugin that has a dot in the name, the download errors out. Somewhere it is translating the dot to an underscore, so it gets a 404 when pulling the file from wowace.com.

I got the error on Talismonger-3.0, but it happens on others.

Code: Select all

Warning: file_get_contents(http://files.wowace.com/Talismonger-3_0/Talismonger-3_0.zip) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found in /home/httpd/xoops-sa/uniadmin/modules/wowace.php on line 151


Hmm, it is
I wonder why...
Zanix looks at the WoWAce module code

why is there an underscore ("_") between 3 and 0?
try this url:
http://www.wowace.com/files/Talismonger-3.0/Talismonger-3.0.zip

I honestly do not know...
It seems that posting a value with a dot in it converts it into an underscore

I figured out that php does this conversion

I will edit the wowace module to convert periods to something else
Then back again for the download

Scratch that
I'll be using sessions to hold the correct addon name
