Major Additions - DownloadsII

There's a vB4 version of this mod available: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231427

DownloadsII

DownloadsII is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It allows you to upload files, add images to them, create categories, link to external files - and more. It is very flexible and has many options.

Because a lot of people keep on asking this:
This mod works with any version of vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x!

It's also coded 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid, just like vBulletin itself.



Instructions & Support

You can find an installation manual in the zip package (Readme-Install.txt).

We try to answer most questions asked in this thread. Please don't send any pm's if we don't ask for them, as we said we try to give a high level of support in this thread. Don't forget to click the install link, so you will receive important update notifications.

Screenshots & Live demo

At the bottom of this post, you can find 6 screenshots of the front-end and back-end (AdminCP part) of the DownloadsII software. You can see the newest version in action at the Minatica.be Downloads (Dutch).

Changelog (version 5.1.2)

Jelle

• Backported CSRF security fix from the vB 4 release
• Added permission check for Update Counters
• Fixed PHP warnings when running PHP 5.3
• Removed the imagecreatefrombmp() function. It doesn't exist.
• Added permission check for rating submissions

You can find all the changelogs of this and older versions here.

Help!!! I can't upload large files??

This is probably the second most asked question. Have a look at this post for the solution.

It doesn't work with GARS?!

If you also use the latest version of GARS, you will get the "Fields marked in RED must be filled in!" error when uploading a file. I provided a fix here on the GARS forums.

Addons

We are offering 3 addons for this mod at the moment (have a look at the bottom of this post for them). DownloadsII contains 5 hook locations for the vBulletin plugin systems, so you can add extra functionality without file edits.

Notes

• ecDownloads Buddy is NOT compatible with this version. If you are using the Buddy, you should UNINSTALL it before installing DownloadsII ver 5.x.x. The Buddy's features are now integrated into DownloadsII.
• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

Addons

• DownloadsII ver 5.0 vbAdvanced Add-On
• DownloadsII PM moderation notification
• DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On
• DownloadsII Simple RSS Feed Add-On
• DownloadsII[Add-On] - Upload Rules

and used this

php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
php_value post_max_size 30M

but i still failed to upload files over 20 mb

If it's a dedicated server, you can try changing your php.conf also
Maybe AllowOverride is set to None in your httpd.conf (Apache webserver), so .htaccess files don't work?

                           WHERE ecdownloadpermissions & 1024 AND  usergroup.usergroupid = user.usergroupid;

MySQL-Fehler : Unknown table 'usergroup' in field list

The error comes because the Table-Prefix is not all set

The right SQL Statement must be:

SELECT title, knxusergroup.usergroupid, username, userid
			   FROM knxusergroup, knxuser
                           WHERE ecdownloadpermissions & 1024 AND  knxusergroup.usergroupid = knxuser.usergroupid;

so how can i fix that?

Thanks

Alfred

This is a vBulletin generated query as we don't have our own query like that. We just use the standard usergroup permissions request code and vBulletin uses this kind of code to set up the permissions.
Have you correctly updated your installation? So you have uploaded all files to your forum FTP folder and you have imported the product file (with overwrite option ON)?

There's already an FTP feature: you can upload files to a folder and mass import them using the DownloadsII import page in the AdminCP.
You can also use the moderation queue to let members add files.

Maybe you did a server move or something like that? Check the chmod of the downloads folder (should be 777, full permissions) and what is the chmod value of the uploaded files in the downloads folder?

On which page are you getting the error?
Can you eventually pm me the username/password of a test account on your site (normal user account), so I can check it out?

There's a "Can Avoid Moderation Queue" usergroup setting to choose this behavior.

Great, Thanks!

[Saviour]

Uploaded all files...imported prduct...allowed overwrite...CHMOD 777 for downloads directory...followed directions to a tee...

The changelog bug that was supposed to be fixed:

* Fixed problem with multiple pages being empty for the file manager (caused when you have an empty approval value)

That bug still exists...

BTW...this was done following the upgrade info in the .txt file attached in your download as I already had the previous version installed.

Strange, it's working for me with version 5.0.5
Any other people to confirm this?

[Saviour]

I have 57 files in 18 categories...20 files show on page one all approved...

The page menu at the bottom of the first Manag Files page shows three pages, however, when I click on page two there are no files listed...just the Downloads navigation menu and options to pin, category, approval, etc., etc...but no files.

This is the shortcut to page 2:

http://www.saviour-pc.com/forums/dow...roval=0&page=2

This is the shortcut to page 3:

http://www.saviour-pc.com/forums/dow...roval=0&page=3

Apparently it must be an approval thing, because that part of the link is showing "0".

Any suggestions here?
