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.

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.

Addons

• DownloadsII ver 5.0 vbAdvanced Add-On
• DownloadsII PM moderation notification
• DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On
• DownloadsII Simple RSS Feed Add-On
• DownloadsII[Add-On] - Upload Rules

[Hendrizius]

Is it possible to add a reputation button at every download? So once users post something others can give them + reputation?

Another question, can you insert another field for a link to the support thread on the forums?

[Artes_Marciales]

Here are our plans for future versions:
Vastly enhanced permissions by usergroup and category
Multiple files per entry

Yes!!
I wait with longing those novelties
I don't want my users to go up files in ALL the categories, alone in some categories...

thank you for the mod!! :up:
Kind Regards!

Yes I have that bug too.. Any way to fix it?

[RS_Jelle]

To fix the comment counter problem:

OPEN /includes/class_downloads.php

FIND

PHP Code:

$result = $db->query_first("SELECT DISTINCT(`fileid`) AS fileid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_comments"); 


REPLACE WITH

PHP Code:

$result = $db->query_read("SELECT DISTINCT(`fileid`) AS fileid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_comments"); 


Then rerun the Update Counters.

It seems that there were two typo's in it and I only fixed one of them (and didn't test it, my mistake)
I'm wrapping together a new release at the moment to fix this and some other small issues.

[maidos]

eh i replaced the code and update counters now it shows one comment on every single files

[maidos]

also when you add the llinks the file url wont be cloaked as if you wouldimportthe files!
how can i do the samefor my other directory which is where i use to add links

also fdorsome reason myentire category is gone, but not entierly since i can access a file that were located at that directory that was supposed to be deleted but it still exist!!!!

it says thefile is on main downloadpage when i cant see a single file there

beside can you make a own section for moderator to import incase its not possible to cloak the url, since it seems on /downloads/ have a protection against reveealing the true url location

Where can I find MEMBERINFO so I can add the code into it?

It might be nice to see a path to this file/variable in the instructions.

That's very strange as I tested it.

@Stifmeister2: Does it work for you?

It's a standard vBulletin template as these are template edits (very common for vBulletin.org mods, so there's not documentation).

You can find it at AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates (select it in the dropdown menu of the style you want to edit) -> Memberinfo Templates (double click on this category to expand it) -> MEMBERINFO (double click on it to open the edit form)
