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.

• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

Hi,
is there a way to add a PayPal payments system ?

[maidos]

would love to see a feature to add mirror links

[thenutthouse]

I would love to have this mod, but it needs to have full compatibility with 3.7.

I will be keeping an eye out in 3.7 mods for this one.

Thnx,
~thenutthouse

As I said.
If you can bring out an update for the actual version that the Downloads are hotlink-secure and only downloadable through the Downloadsystem I am willing to support you with some $.
I am really in need of such a system because the attachments give me problems all the time =/

[drpeppper]

Following the fix from above I still receive this error on anything above 10MB

The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

after adding still the fix.

[Alibass]

I am on a shared web host and the upload file size is 10mb max. The way I get around it is I FTP the file to my server then I link to the file on my server via Download II and it works fine.

I apologize if this has been answered but this thread is huge and I searched but came up with nothing on download.com. Has there been a method I missed setup to use to link to files such as those on download.com? There is no file extension on those..only a lengthy url that won't fit into the Link to a file bar and even if it will it won't accept it because it says it isn't a valid extension.

Thanks in advance

this has such great potential, especially with the 3.7 update. I know they have never wanted it to be a paid mod, but with all the time they have put into it in the past, im surprised its not.

Anyway, cant wait for the next big update, it should be a good one.
