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.

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.

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

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session
[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>\

I think i just have to edit that but im not sure.

I've edited my post here above

You've added a space between $session and [sessionurl_q], which should be one part.

Could you bring this issue to the attention of the GARS developer? DownloadsII is available for free, so he can test it out
He can always contact me to sort it out together.

I already did (well, not exactly to the originally developer, becouse he is not taking care of GARS anymore, but to his successor, Morgan) and her viewpoint on this is like she is not familiar with Downloads II and so far she has no clues, what could be cause of this. I asked her, if she could contact you (and sent her link to this discussion), but I suppose, that she did not, right? If not, maybe you could send word to her? Please, be so kind ;-).

Maybe someone else will find the solution:

Well, I hope at least, becouse we have Downloads II offline for more than 1 week already and our users are missing it :-(.

Are we allowed to remove the

DownloadsII 5.0.6 by CyberRanger & Jelle
Based on ecDownloads 4.1 ? Ronin

from the footer?

If we are allowed were can we remove it? if not I will understand.

@RS_Jelle
Could you please reply to: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2237

If it's not possible, what would I have to pay if I would need it somewhat fast ?

you entering downloads to the url, its downloads.php .

you need to add a shortcut in your navbar template manually.

No, Morgan didn't contact me. You can always send me a pm if you are willing to give me (temporary) admin access to your forum (vBulletin and FTP), so I can check it out and try to fix it.

No, that's not possible.

The Ronin part is necessary for the license as DownloadsII v5 is a derivate work from Ronin's ecDownloads, which is released under an attribution license. And our part is a bit of recognition

AdminCP -> DownloadsII -> Settings -> Sort by Weight -> Yes

The description of that setting is wrong: "downloads" should be "categories" there.
