I ran it, but not all were created

http://www.lockonfiles.com/files/file/3564-bartheks-gtm-12-for-dcs-25/

this one had its topic hidden first then deleted the topic, by mistake 

and I bought the mod to create its support topic

the category has a forum topic, so it should have been created

and that's the problem. The tool searchs for files that never had a topic; this one had (the topic ID is there) but you deleted the topic:

$where[] = 'file_topicid = 0';

If I remove this, it will create topics for all files, including those which already has topics.

You can either:

1. Run a query to remove that topic ID for this file
2. Install a plugin like this and create the topic directly in file view: https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/7941-create-support-topics-for-files/

using sql - no problem in doing that

You have to ask support to the other dev; not to me. 

What you can do is run a SQL Query to remove the ID of the old topic and then run again this plugin of mine. 

update downloads_files set file_topicid = 0 where file_id = XXX;

Replace XXX for the file ID. 

Not tested as I’m on a mobile device.

I added the SQL line and then ran the support topic plugin and it worked - topic created

Thanks !!! 🙂

Addes support topic? Yes, since Downloads 1. This plugin creates support topics for existing files. Example: you have XXX files and then decides to use support topic. There's no way to do that with Downloads only... this plugin will create the XXX topics.

EDIT: you mean this (in yellow)?

It will rebuild topic content; not create missing topics.
