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

• 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

When i try to upload a file(3.8.5) I get now the message that a security token is missing. Any idea how to solve this. Already thanks

[Black Tiger]

You should try and use the "search this Mod" search option, it was asked a few times already.

But oke, the problem is in most cases that the file you try to upload is too big compared to the server (php.ini) settings.

Thanks for this mod!!!

I have a question.

- I can't seem to find the word "Downloads:" (that appears on the table below each file) to translate it.


Thanks.

Since we moved to a new server, we lost the ability to add a thumbnail image to downloads. It worked fine before we moved, so it could be a php issue. I searched this thread and found this guy had the problem but solved it (he did not explain how, thanks)

When we try to add a thumbnail, we get
Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/panzer/public_html/forum/downloads.php on line 838

We are also seeing a problem with the vB Albums, when we add a new picture, no thumbnail. The old pics all have thumbnails.

Thanks.

It's the ecdownloads_downloads phrase (in the GLOBAL phrase type).

Have you got PHP's GD library installed? Check your PHP Info (AdminCP -> Maintenance) The imagecreatefromjpeg() function is part of it.

Excellent suggestion, I think that could be the problem. I checked the php info through the vB Maint/View php info and did not find any mention of imagecreatefromjpeg

Is the GD library tricky to add, Jelle?

thanks for your help and the great mod, it is the mainstay of our system.

It's not that difficult, but you need shell access for this.

Btw, you won't find the imagecreatefromjpeg function at the PHP info page. You need to look for a gd subtitle with parameters like "GD Support" and "GD Version" (and in your case also "JPG Support", which could be separately disabled, but that would be a really strange gd configuration).

Hey everyone

Everytime i am done trying to upload something on this downloader hack

this error message comes up

The file(s) uploaded were too large to process.

so how can i fix it then

[Speysider]

You tell me Bryan.
It's obvious from the error what's wrong.

But of course, you make a support request, then don't bother to reply to the thread. Or, you don't click Install to get support.

Thanks, Jelle, I have full shell access, what do I do? Or where should I start?

The php info does not have GD anything in it. :up:
