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.

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

I know this has been answered before, but I haven't seen anything with the same symptoms as my problem:

I'm getting "Security token was missing" when the file I'm trying to upload is 8 MB and over. Any file smaller than 8 MB works fine. So I did everything that was posted:

1) re-installed the mod
2) created a .htaccess file
3) php.ini has a 150 MB file size limit
4) admincp downloadsII options allow for 150 MB files

Any help would be appreciated about this Security Token thingy... my vbulletin is not accessible through the internet.

Thanks

Have you verified that your changes are effective?
Use php info to find out if the php.ini change worked.

what is inside your .htaccess file? Your php override needs to be done only once. It loosk like you are trying to do it twice. Which way is dependent upon your host. If you're not sure you should check their forums to see how to do php overrides.

I really hope there would be a way in the future to add custom fields. I am in need of a field called "Version". Also, somehow to change the Date Added to Date Last Updated. I have files that constantly update and people think they are old because it always says the date I 1st made the "post".

Thanks columbusgeek. After your reply my co-worker and I checked what you had told us, but after testing found out it wasn't it. It was actually the post_max_size was set at 8M. As soon as we changed it to 100M, it started to work with bigger files.

Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.

We moved our site to a different server which has a different folder structure and now when someone tried to download a file that was previously uploaded they get this:

Warning: copy(./downloads//ec_tmp/987 Minor Maintenance Check List 2.pdf) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]/downloads.php on line 700
ERROR: File not found.

the downloads directory is still there as all directories and permissions were copied over, it is the higher level directories before the web root that changed. I expected to find some place in the config for this mod that was storing that info, but all I see is the ./downloads setting which is still the same.

The files in question are actually there in the downloads directory, but not the ec_temp directory so I don't know why it is looking there or trying to anyway. The files also have a prefix before the name of each filename like 12345-Filename.zip etc.

The file I am trying to download is located here so you can see the error yourself:
http://www.caymanclub.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=242

I can try to reinstall the mod again from a fresh zip to see if that fixes/changes anything, but I am assuming that this is some sort of config error since the site moved, but I have no idea what other than the dir path would have caused a problem.
