Hello,
personally, I deleted all the extensions created by David63 because they are THE ONLY ones that give me a 504 error...

When I have an answer on what can cause this error I may try to reinstall them but not before!

When I have an answer on what can cause this error

That error was caused by having to move servers and I believe has now been fixed with the downloads from here.

Hello David63,

Unfortunately, I can no longer download without paying while it is specified that we can do 2 downloads per 24 hours:



Which is totally FALSE because I can't download anymore if I don't pay!!!!



THIS SITE IS A SCAM TO ME!!!!

You are entitled to your opinion but restrictions have had to be put in place due to certain members of this board abusing it. When a member downloads every extension then in my book that is abuse - don't know what others may call it!

[stone23]

I only downloaded 3 files and none of them work so donating is out of the question as long as I do!!!

phpBB is intended to be free and on phpBB.com, extensions can be downloaded without any problem!

So I find it abusive to ask for money for extensions as long as we are not sure that they work!
In addition, I had NO support!

I'm surprised, you say it's your extensions when it's those of david63 that you took over for yourself.
Totally agree with stone23, charging is an abuse.

[devspace]

charging is an abuse.

Perhaps you missed the point that all "donations" do actually go to david63

[Fred Rimbert]

The idea is laudable, although I don't understand why since David said he was retiring from developing extensions.
I think that a donation, whatever it is, must remain at the discretion of the donor, otherwise we must speak of a subscription.

So, if I understand correctly, David63 has stopped free support for his extensions on phpBB.com and offered them here as paid downloads...
We should stop hanging people for idiots!!!

[david63]

Let me just answer some of these posts.

The idea is laudable, although I don't understand why since David said he was retiring from developing extensions.

I actually said that I was leaving phpBB for, amongst others, the reasons that I put in my "Goodbye" post.

I think that a donation, whatever it is, must remain at the discretion of the donor, otherwise we must speak of a subscription.

It is - there is no minimum donation and it is totally up to the individual as to how much is donated and once a donation has been made then you will have unlimited access to the downloads for all time.

if I understand correctly, David63 has stopped free support for his extensions on phpBB.com and offered them here as paid downloads...

I have ceased being an active member of phpbb.com and handed my extensions to devspace who will support them - I may also add comments where appropriate.

I'm surprised, you say it's your extensions when it's those of david63 that you took over for yourself.

devspace did not "take them over for himself" he agreed to do so and I still retain the rights to them.

phpBB is intended to be free and on phpBB.com, extensions can be downloaded without any problem!

You will probably find that there are less and less extensions being made available at phpbb.com and there are significantly more available from other sources, where you have to pay for each download and/or pay to become a member of that board. This was not the route that I wanted to go down and I was prepared to allow all extensions to be free downloads but that generosity was being abused by certain members.

It's not a scam. If you don't think his extensions are worth his donation requirements, then don't donate.

[stone23]

Hello [Dimetrodon],
This is exactly my intention

I don't care how many extensions there are on phpBB.com!
What interests me is that when you pay for a service, it must work and provide FREE support!
However, this is not the case here!!!

Donation is a way to say thanks (support) to someone, for their work/effort. In other words.. it is two sided contribution.
As much as i see.. Free support is available.

No, this is not the case...
I still have no answer on the malfunctions of the files I downloaded !!!

I don't throw money out the window!

Hello.

And that's fine.

I can understand you disagreeing with his decision to require donations, but you're overly angry. You're acting like he stole money from you or something.

[stone23]

STOP the nonsense, I keep saying that I will only pay if I have working downloads and we have support on each extension, but if you want to pay without having support, it's your choice but not the mine!

I'm not a donor, as I'm broke.

That being said, I still don't see why you're so worked up about this.

[devspace]

I still have no answer on the malfunctions of the files I downloaded !!!

Having read through your posts I cannot see any specific error being reported - only generalisations relating to david63 extensions. It clearly states in each extension that there is no support here for those extensions - only those under the devspace vendor.

[stone23]

Ok...

Stop taking people for idiots, I'm trying to point out that David63's extensions, and they alone no longer work under phpBB 3.3.9 but if you don't want to hear anything, I'll stop bugging you then you don't want to hear anything!!!

So David 63 keeps his extensions to himself and I get out of this forum of charlatans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GanstaZ]

Is extension vendor name devspace or david63?

I just tried to access your site and not only is it automatically blocking my IP but I'm also getting [php debug] errors.

What else do you have on your site? Didn't you already disable all of David63's extensions?

[stone23]

Hello,
Indeed, my site blocks IPs from quite a few countries with the "Filter by country" extension and the debug is activated so it is normal to obtain certain errors in this direction
