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

• 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

Hi folks,

I am coding a side column (right) in my footer template and I was hoping to get the latest files/popular files/top contributors stats showing here.

I've tried using the code from the 'downloads_panel_side' template and also the 'adv_portal_ecdownloads' template but none of them work or show the info.

Is there a way I could get this to work? Do I need to alter a plugin maybe?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I can't import the product. I'm getting this error message:

XML Error: Invalid document end at Line 2040

What does this mean?

How do I get the category image to the left instead of underneath the description?

Is this issue related to server ?
I have this issue only for files more than 2 Mb . They upload easily but after download we see the files are corrupted!!
the server settings are : [/s]

Edit : it's solved !

I'm currently running Downloads II Version 5.0.8 on vBulletin 3.8.1. Is there a good enough reason to update to version 5.1.0 as I don't really want to lose my template modifications I have made to it.

Are there actually any feature updates from 5.0.8 to 5.1.0?

Version 6 is looking nice and that does seem to have some good feature improvements. Is there an estimated release date?

I am interested in this too :-). List of improvements in comparison with v5.1.0 would be also great.

I have the following dilema:

I have two sets of download files:

1. Set 1 - files members added through this Download feature. (located at http://www.myurl.com/forum/downloads)

2. Set 2 - files that I ftp'ed to my server before I had this add-on (subsequently added to my Downloads section manually). (located at http://www.myurl.com/forum/files)

How do I move them all to a new server (new location: http://www.my2ndurl.com/forum/downloads)??
