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.

RS_Jelle, I'd like to provide you some basic code for supporting resumes when downloading...

Keep in mind, I have't converted this as of yet to plug in to the downloads.php but I'm definitely getting ready to, if you choose not to in your next version. I'm dealing with big files (UT3 maps and mods), hitting 20-30M easy, so I need this.

Still looking for RSS support out of your mod, but, I'll not look to solve that if you're working on it. If it's on the "to-do" list with no active work toward it, let me know, and I'll pull something together for that.

Lastly, if you want me to just shut the hell up, let me know.

Here goes for supporting resuming downloads...

PHP Code:

    //  Begin writing headers
    header("Cache-Control:");
    header("Cache-Control: public");
    header("Content-Type: $ctype");
 
    $filespaces = str_replace("_", " ", $filename);
    // if your filename contains underscores, replace them with spaces
 
    $header='Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filespaces;
    header($header);
    header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");
   
    $size = filesize($file); 
    //  check if http_range is sent by browser (or download manager) 
    if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) {
        // if yes, download missing part    
 
        $seek_range = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'] , 6);
        $range = explode( '-', $seek_range);
        if($range[0] > 0) { $seek_start = intval($range[0]); }
        if($range[1] > 0) { $seek_end  =  intval($range[1]); }
          
        header("HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content");
        header("Content-Length: " . ($seek_end - $seek_start + 1));
        header("Content-Range: bytes $seek_start-$seek_end/$size");
    } else {
        header("Content-Range: bytes 0-$seek_end/$size");
        header("Content-Length: $size");
    } 
    //open the file
    $fp = fopen("$file","rb");
   
    //seek to start of missing part 
    fseek($fp,$seek_start);
 
    //start buffered download
    while(!feof($fp)) {  
        //reset time limit for big files
        set_time_limit(0);    
        print(fread($fp,1024*$speed));
        flush();
        sleep(1);
    }

You could try the solution I gave to Glennybee. Look a few posts higher in post #2403 it's quoted in there.

[maidos]

hm yeah but couldnt u make that fix on the upcoming version ? so if u delete the category all subcategories will be gone aswell?

[InoffLine]

When a logged in user enters downloads main page, he is shown as a logged out, but in categories and files everything is ok

I need to edit the upload and download permissions, I have forgotten were that is ,can you please point me in the correct direction ,sorry guys its been a while.

[Black Tiger]

It's done in the Admincp -> Usergroups.

[maidos]

possible if ppl can see the files that has been voted on download main page.
And throttle the A,B,C grading and implement images voting picture instead

I got a little problem in 3.7.0 b5. The amount of downloads is not displayed anymore in the Postbit.
I tried to do the memberinfo template edit, but text named in the readme is not corresponding anymore with the actual memberinfo content.
