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

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.

Hi there!

I have a problem. I have 160747 total log entries. Verision is 5.1.0.
Prune Download log entries is set to 1 but Scheduled Task Hourly Cleanup is not cleaning logs.

I have noticed in verision 5.1.2. error with pruning logs is fixed, but when I upgrade to 5.1.2. all my categories (152) are lost.

DownloadsII 5.1.1 Changelog

Jelle

Fixed bug with download log pruning (name of the hook location changed)

So, is there a way to fix pruning log error without upgradeing to 5.1.2. ?

Sounds like something is going wrong with the update as I've never heard of issues with losing categories before. Have you checked in the database whether or not the actual data is still there or has it been removed after the update? What steps are you taking to do the update? Since I don't think any changes are done to the category your other alternative is to just back up the category table and re-import it after doing the update.

Thank you for the prompt reply.
Later I discovered that the problem was in the 'conflict' with the script 'vB Optimise'. After upgrading to version 5.1.2 I have chosen the option 'Flush Cache' inside 'vB Optimise'. Now everything is working properly, and the categories are not lost after the upgrade.

Since a short time, i get the follow error code, if user need download some files:

Warnung: copy(./downloads//ec_tmp/Latest_iXtreme_and_Stock_Firmware_Pack_25_12_2011. rar) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]/downloads.php (Zeile 736)
ERROR: File not found.

what is wrong? The files exist...

[squidsk]

Are you absolutely sure the actual file exists on the server, not just in the downloads database? The reason I ask is I get this warning when the file doesn't exist because the line to do the copying (line 736) actually occurs before the check for whether or not the file being copied actually exists or not.

[MotMann]

Did you think, that i must upload all vB Files again? The Downloadfiles are complete.

[Black Tiger]

I think something is still missing.
You say the file is present. Is it present like:
Latest_iXtreme_and_Stock_Firmware_Pack_25_12_2011. rar
or is it present like:
10840-Latest_iXtreme_and_Stock_Firmware_Pack_25_12_2011. rar
so with a number in front of it.
Because all files without number in front of it and are present in the Downloads database will be projectes as being "not found".
Sometimes people remove those number because they don't kow what they are doing there or when files get reuploaded after a server move or something.

[squidsk]

It could be that you have two / in the path that's causing the problems, it looks like you've got the path to the downloads directory in the settings with an extra / at the end.

I could also be that if its giving permission denied then you might have some files that do not have the correct permissions. If you have server access, check to see if all files/directories in the downloads directory have rw attributes set for user, group and world. If not you should run chmod 777 *.
