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.

Nebu, did you chmod your downloads-directory and sub-directories to 755?

Is his account the only one in that usergroup? Or not?

[coolgus]

there is one more account in this usergroup. I tried to delete it and recreated it but still occurs. seems like this problem is username associated. even today where no upload/download had happened, maximum limit message keep repeated. Also the other account in this usergroup has no problem whatsoever.

FYI using the url link works fine and I'm not getting the max limit reach message

Is he a member of an additional usergroup that has a limit?

If no, PM me your url along with an admin account and password plus the user's name and I'll check it out.

At this point, you really need to either read up on creating the file (google "creating a .htaccess file") or have your host help you create the file. I'm afraid there's not much else we can do unless you want to PM me your site info along with an admin ftp login and password.

What I said above is really my last word on this. We've told you exactly what to do.

If you need more help, either ask your host or PM me the info I requested above and I'll help you.

You'll need to have your host enable copy. There's no other way for the program to work. That's way overly restrictive security.

UPDATE: THIS IS SOLVED - I logged out and logged back in

Hello,

I just installed this wonderful hack.

Everything is smooth..so far, but when I got stuck at this point

Create directories in the 'Categories' menu under the 'Downloads' in your admincp
If you would like to import files go to the 'Import' menu under 'Downloads' and specify a directory to import

There's no Downloads directory in my AdminCP. I have copied all files in "Uploads" and imported the product. What's missing?
