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

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.

I'm having a problem. (I marked as installed )

I uploaded a file and went to see if it would let me download the file I uploaded. I get this error on the next page when I select download.

Warning: copy() [function.copy]: Unable to access ./downloads/http:// in [path]/downloads.php on line 736

Warning: copy(./downloads/http://) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/downloads.php on line 736
ERROR: File not found.

I can see the file uploaded in my FTP.

You chmod the path???

[funmasti]

its such a nice mod

[Codybfdfxbf]

I CHMOD my whole Downloads directory.

[TheInsaneManiac]

Ive recently switched servers and now when I try to download any files I get "Error file not found" The files are in the downloads directory, but it still errors out.

The directory has 777 permissions

EDIT: It was due to the directory inside of downloads not having the appropriate permissions.

Was wondering when there was going to be a update to this mod?, Could really use a report button for incorrect/dead links.

[TheInsaneManiac]

Could also use a feature to replace the attachments.

Hello.
I have a problem with some downloads (well, I don't know exactly):

Some users, report to me this error:

When the users click in a download, some times, appear this error:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

This is a example url that a user report to me:

http://www.myforum.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=126&act=down&actionhash=guest

The users are registered and logged.

If I click this url, appears same error.

But if I cut the url:

http://www.myforum.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=126

Works fine.

I cut the end of url "&act=down&actionhash=guest"

I don't know what is the problem.

Thanks and regards.
