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.

To the right of the image it says:

by UserName on Today [Delete]

How would I go about getting rid of "by UserName on Today", leaving just the delete function. I've been looking in the downloads_file template but I haven't been able to find it. Am I looking in the wrong template? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

In case you are uncertain, this version works perfectly well on vb 3.6.x too.

I'm on business travel until March 13 so my input will be limited. Please take it easy on Jelle in my absence.

Any idea on when the new version will be released? I'm waiting on that till I give this a shot. Unless the update will be nice and clean?

wolfe · #**1247** 05-04-2007, 10:23 AM

how can i make it so when i add a new download i can link to a file and link to a image all at the same time

so

New Download > Upload File / Link To File > Upload Image / Link to images.

and is it possible to make the newest added download show as a last post on the forums page where there is a forum linking to it. like LDM does

I tested it and it works without errors. You should be replacing it wrong or something like that. Watch out for the brackets.

Anyway, when I tested it, it didn't work correctly like I thought it would.

A new try, tested and it works nice:

Find (in downloads.php)

PHP Code:


			
            while ($image = $db->fetch_array($result))
            {
                if (($permissions['ecdownloadpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['ecdownloadpermissions']['caneditallfiles']) OR
                   (($permissions['ecdownloadpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['ecdownloadpermissions']['caneditownfiles']) AND
                    (($image['uploaderid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) AND ($file['uploaderid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']))))
                    $edit = '[<a href="./downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'&amp;act=delimg&amp;img='.$image['id'].'" onclick="return delete_it()">'.$vbphrase['delete'].'</a>]';
                {
                    if (file_exists($dl->url.$image['thumb']))
                    {
                        $dimages .= '<a href="'.$dl->url.$image['name'].'"><img src="'.$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 />';
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        $dimages .= '<a href="'.$dl->url.$image['name'].'">'.$image['name'].'</a> by <a href="./member.php?u='.$image['uploaderid'].'">'.$image['uploader'].'</a> on '.vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $image['date'], true).' '.$edit.'<br />';
                    }
                }
            }

Replace with

PHP Code:


			
            $dimages .= '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0"><tr>';
            while ($image = $db->fetch_array($result))
            {
                if (($permissions['ecdownloadpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['ecdownloadpermissions']['caneditallfiles']) OR
                   (($permissions['ecdownloadpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['ecdownloadpermissions']['caneditownfiles']) AND
                    (($image['uploaderid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) AND ($file['uploaderid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']))))
                {
                    $edit = '[<a href="./downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'&amp;act=delimg&amp;img='.$image['id'].'" onclick="return delete_it()">'.$vbphrase['delete'].'</a>]';
                }

                if (file_exists($dl->url.$image['thumb']))
                {
                    $dimages .= '<td class="smallfont"><a href="'.$dl->url.$image['name'].'"><img src="'.$dl->url.$image['thumb'].'" alt="'.$file['name'].'" title="'.$file['name'].'" border="0" /></a><br />by <a href="./member.php?u='.$image['uploaderid'].'">'.$image['uploader'].'</a> on '.vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $image['date'], true).' '.$edit.'</td>';
                }
                else
                {
                    $dimages .= '<td class="smallfont"><a href="'.$dl->url.$image['name'].'">'.$image['name'].'</a><br />by <a href="./member.php?u='.$image['uploaderid'].'">'.$image['uploader'].'</a> on '.vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $image['date'], true).' '.$edit.'</td>';
                }
            }
            $dimages .= '</tr></table>';

Hmm, that's almost impossible. The sortfield variable is used only in the query to get the downloads from the database of the category you are viewing. It has nothing to do with any categoy query or sort option

Maybe you changed the sort option in the DownloadsII settings which affects the category sorting?

That's possible as you can change the forum index script name in the vBulletin options. But you can't just rename downloads.php to index.php. Then you also need to replace all the downloads.php instances in downloads.php itself and the templates, as there is no easy option to do this. But ... it should work if you do this all, and it's not that difficult if you are familiar with PHP

That's a hardcoded piece, you have to look in downloads.php itself, but it's easy to change (look for $dimages)

It takes a lot more time than I expected. It's not all very difficult PHP code, but it's much new code (and recoding all the old)

Upgrade will be pretty painless. One thing: you will lose your download ratings, but I don't think many people really use this feature. This because the current system with a lot of possibilities gets replaced by a -vBulletin like- stars system. You also need to redo some settings, for example the extensions setting gets replaced by a whole new extensions management (like the vBulletin attachments).

But I would suggest you to just use the current version as it works great and the upgrade will be easy to do with a documentated upgrade wizard script.

Those features aren't available at the moment. The first thing will be changed in v6, but the second one is more a thing for an add-on.

Thank so much RS_Jelle! Much appreciated

I'm sure there are many persons like me who don't even look 3.5 mods section when they have 3.6 installed.

Done

wolfe · #**1251** 05-05-2007, 05:32 PM

is it possible to show the file listings as image say 3 per row and when you mouse over the image a box pops up with info also is it possible to make it require image after its added. ?
