Easy Gadget Downloads
Hello everyone,
I hope you're all having a wonderful day.
SharkCutUp and I have been working diligently in the background on various projects. One of these projects is a website to host all of the easy gadgets in one location. This allows users to find and download the Easy Gadgets quickly. The reasons we have moved to a website outside of this forum is for three (3) reasons listed here.
First is due to the file upload size constraint. As you may know, there is a 2K limit on the file size and several of the Easy Gadgets have exceed this limit significantly.
Second is the well known file extension requirements. Within the forum, all gadgets must have the ZIP extension. I'm certain each of you have struggled with renaming a Zip files to the proper ".vgadget" extension before trying to load a new gadget.
Third is the website will allow users to download all of the Easy gadgets without having to search through dozens of post, trying to locate the latest and greatest version.
Additionally, you're welcome to use our sign-up page to be notified whenever a gadget is updated or new gadget is posted. Please rest assure, we will not sell or distribute your email information.
As always, we welcome your suggestions and feedback on how we can improve your experience.
Images below are some screen captures of the website.

Re: Easy Gadget Downloads
Everyone has access to download the gadgets so you do not need to login. The login is for the admin to post updates and new gadgets.
Thanks,
Jim

Re: Easy Gadget Downloads
Is the site fully functional or is it a preview currently? None of the downloads work for me.
Some of the download links resolve to "vgadge" rather than "vgadget" but the ones that resolve fully result in a 404 error as well.

Re: Easy Gadget Downloads
Internet Explorer (not Edge) downloads the files as zip rather than vgadget.
Doubt there are many people using it still but thought it worth mentioning in case you get someone else saying they are getting zips.

Re: Easy Gadget Downloads
Thank You, Adrian!!!
We are presently looking into this issue. We probably will just add a warning message on the Download Webpage about the Issue with Internet Explorer.

I have added code to check the browser type. If Internet Explorer is found a message to the user telling them about the file renameing is displayed.
I do not have Internet Explorer on any of my systems, Can someone with Internet Explorer try to download a gadget and let me know if the message is shown?
Thanks,
Jim

Re: Easy Gadget Downloads
I just tried the one at the top (Easy bottle holder) I think.
Got this message:
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I'm using Chrome.

Re: Easy Gadget Downloads
There's no message coming up when using IE.
On any browser the bottle carrier results in an error message as Jim says. The Easy Box Maker just hangs and doesn't download or return an error.
All the others are downloading correcly.
