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.

echo '<tr><td class="'.$class.'" rowspan="2"><input type="hidden" name="dir" value="
.$_POST['dir'].'" /><b>All Files</b><br /><i>(not filled out)</i></td><td class="'.$class.'"><b>File Name</b></td><td class="'.$class.'"><b>Author</b></td><td class="'.$class.'"><b>File Desc</b></td><td class="'.$class.'"><b>Category</b></td><td class="'.$class.'"><b>Pinned</b></td><td class="'.$class.'"><b>Import</b></td></tr>';

if it's a vbphrase, simply search for the phrase (Language and Phrases -> Search in Phrases), find it, change it.

Thanks... that worked!

I've it's only happening when you try select the "Import" option, then you probably don't have the import directory set right. If it happens when you click on "Categories", then I suggest you download the product again and re-upload downloadadmin.php

[lukedono]

thnx, i'll give it a try again.

Cool feature would be to have the script send the file to one of those online virus scanners of your choice to scan it. Best mod I have used by the way. Easy installation and very professional good work!

[Golzarion]

of course it's a very nice hack as I try before ..

I installed !!

But if a user upload a virus files ... there isn't a way for other users to report it ?

I mean it would be very useful if you put a report button in files download area.

thx
