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.

• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

Hi,

I moved my database a few days ago and when I went to test this great component I got an error message when trying to download :

Warning: copy(./downloads///ec_tmp/file name) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /downloads.php on line 708
ERROR: File not found.

Uploads and everything else works fine.

Thanks for your time.

thanks, install. have a problem. my file can't download by soft Idm ??? why ??, when i upload file to folders Downloads by soft ftp and what much i do when i want insert file to system Download ??? upload by forum is very slow

[Deadly Assassin]

Installed and works great, thanks.

Just one thing.

Is there any way to have multiple links uploaded or linked from somewhere like Rapidshare etc...

It looks great until you have to have the first link as the clickable download, but the rest of the parts in the description.

Thanks in advance. :up:

Hello,

how can i change the relative download path to the absolute path in the settings because
i want that two websites used the same downloadfiles. The Websites are not in the same folder on the webserver. The Forum is in /srv/www/htdocs/forum/ and the website is in /srv/www/htdocs/website/.

It is possible to change it?

Thanks!

[gremlin2412]

The path to the downloads must be se same in both cases. If you have the rights to acces the file at the server it will be okay.
