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

cuase when i go there it says nothing about downloader premissions?

Then you probably didn't upload /includes/xml/bitfield_ecdownloads.xml
Try reuploading all files on your FTP.

Possible to use a different host for the uploads to what the forum is on?

Wow, really good Mod, I love it.. I installed it and its working perfectly ! thanks a lot RS_Jelle for this excellent mod..

P.S.
I found a repeated word in the DownloadsII usergroup permissions section:

Use strict daily download limits. If set to "No", a user will only receive receive a download limit reached message if BOTH the MB and file per day limit are reached. If set to "Yes", exceeding either limit will trigger the download limit reached message.

No this is not possible, at least in this current version.


I'm not sure if the new 6 version will have this...

You could always just link to the other host using DownloadsII.

True. I do that sometimes.


But it would be easier and faster if you could upload them to another host via downloadsII. But I know it's damn hard to implement (if even possible).

Subsequent investigations found these files in the DownloadsII folder. see attached

We do not allow these files to be uploaded, any idea how they got there, I do not want to re-activate the downloads mod just in case. Thanks

Tx for shareing.

I have uploads disabled, but added the magaupload box for members
so they can share through them without limits.

only admiin and supmod can upload actual files.
rest is just shares.


And ive diabled the upload botton so now only share links availible.
Only specified group can share
Find :

<font size="-3" {$errors['upload']}>{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_upload_a_file']}</font><br />
       <input name="upload" type="file" size="20" />

Replace with

<!-- Original upload box code start -->
<font size="-3" {$errors['upload']}>{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_upload_a_file']}</font><br />
       <input name="upload" type="file" size="20" /> 
<!--original upload box code end -->

<!-- New remove upload box code start -->
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, GROUPID)"><font size="-3" {$errors['upload']}>{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_upload_a_file']}</font><br />
       <input name="upload" type="file" size="20" /> <else></if> 
<!-- new remove upload box code end -->

Change the GROUPID name to which usergroup u want to give acces,, perhaps trustet members.. syntax : '"is_member_of($bbuerinfo, group,group,group)"

See image, left a member login on the right a moderator..
