DownloadsII · **Released**: 07-01-2006

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.

Do you want to help expanding DownloadsII (if you are a coder)? Check out this post!

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.

This issue has been fixed do not read this post. Read my next post below.

Sorry for the PM's. I figured out how to install highslide but have no idea how to put it into the <img> tag in downloads.php or what part to edit. I also have a few questions. I got highslide to work on the forums, and I'm trying to make it so JUST the image pops up. Not the black background or anything I got that to work by changing:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" language='javascript1.2' src="highslide/highslide-with-gallery.js"></script>

To:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" language='javascript1.2' src="highslide/highslide.js"></script>

However now my problem is that the image pops up perfectly how I want to, but it is NOT centered. Something that the file "highslide-with-gallery.js" did for me perfectly.

The hs_align says 'center' but it's still not working. The settings in my hs_headinclude are:

Code:

			            <!-- HS Images Resize -->
            <script type="text/javascript">

            <!--
            folder="./highslide/";
            //-->
            </script>
<script type="text/javascript" language='javascript1.2' src="highslide/highslide-with-gallery.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="highslide/highslide.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
	hs.graphicsDir = 'highslide/graphics/';
	hs.align = 'center';
	hs.transitions = ['expand', 'crossfade'];
	hs.outlineType = 'glossy-dark';
	hs.wrapperClassName = 'dark';
	hs.fadeInOut = true;
	hs.numberPosition = 'caption';
	hs.dimmingOpacity = 0.75;

	// Add the controlbar
	if (hs.addSlideshow) hs.addSlideshow({
		//slideshowGroup: 'group1',
		interval: 5000,
		repeat: false,
		useControls: true,
		fixedControls: 'fit',
		overlayOptions: {
			opacity: .75,
			position: 'bottom center',
			hideOnMouseOut: true
		}
	});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
HSImageResizer.MAXWIDTH = $vboptions[hs_maxwidth];
HSImageResizer.MAXHEIGHT = $vboptions[hs_maxheight];

//-->
</script>
            <!-- / HS Images Resize -->

The highslide code I'm using for highslide.js is here: http://highslide.com/highslide/highslide.js?src=

Hmm I need to disable pinned uploads for regular users too. *sigh*

Thanks RS_Jelle for your help, you probably think I'm a whacko lol. :P

But ok, Vbulletin should seriously provide some support for 'highslide' because it's not easy to get working at all. I just took the highslide settings from your site RS_Jelle I hope you don't mind so ignore my last post.

RS_Jelle how do I edit the category of the actual download? I have no use for the field "Author" so I wanted to remove that. But I also want to add a "Version" field, and a "Quality" field. You know how a field like "File Name" or "Size" etc...

Also, I looked everywhere in this thread but the question was never answered: "How do I get the category image to the left instead of underneath the description?"

Along with another question when I try to upload .bmp files as the image to the download I get Fatal error: Call to undefined function

Quote:

imagecreatefrombmp() in /home/shujinan/public_html/forums/downloads.php on line 850

I listed bmp as my image format and even switched imagemagick but it still doesn't work.

I'd also like to add that unless someone is very familiar with coding. editing the <img> isn't all that easy. In downloads.php there are over several <img> tags, which one do I edit, what do I edit? Am I taking something out? Adding something in? Where do I add whatever I'm adding in?

I had one of my coder friends help me out it ended up being:

Code:

$dimages .= '<a href="'.$dl->url.$image['name'].'" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img src="'.$dl->url.$image['thumb'].'" alt="'.$file['name'].'" title="'.$file['name'].'" border="0" /></a> by <a href="./member.php?u='.$image['uploaderid'].'">'.$image['uploader'].'</a> on '.vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $image['date'], true).' '.$edit.'<br />';

So anyone's whose having the same trouble can see the clear solution.

Sorry for asking but I've looked through about 10 pages but does anyone know how easy it is to change the 'grade' rating system to a numerical one?

Where are you placing that / what are you replacing?

Thanks.

TeknoSounds · #**3547** 04-17-2009, 09:11 PM

greetings, I was wondering if there was a way to manually update the counters? I had a previous download manager and would like to keep the #'s...

Line 1015. Just replace the default downloads.php code with the attached one. It works just fine.

My problem was solved by deleting a temp folder called downloads/ec_tmp/

I need support for these two questions above. Does the author have a website? Willing to do whatever it takes to get this resolved. Thanks for the support!

I would like to arrange the main categories in a way that every two categories appear next to each other (in the mode DOWNLOADSII). Every time I tried this, the categories come above each other. Please Advise.

this is my downloads_main_catbit template:

Code:

<div align="center">
	<table border="0" width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	<tr>

				<td>
				<p align="center">
	<a href="downloads.php?do=cat&id={$cat['id']}">
	<img class="inlineimg" src="{$cat['catimage']}" alt="{$cat['name']}" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></a></td>
			</tr>
