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

Thanks

Have a look at this post and try that version of downloads.php.
I created it for someone who wanted more images per row. There's a $countnumber variable in it to control the amount.
Here you can find a screenshot of how the modified version looks like (without the numbers in front of the image, that was a debugging thing).

what template or file i need to edit??




thanks for your nice support

That's currently hardcoded in downloads.php. Open it and have a search for $dlinks. It's pretty easy to edit yourself (even without knowing PHP).

Agggg!!!! didn't work. Do I need to change something in the PHP file? I checked it and didn't see anything.

Edit: Is there a way to just center justify the image? or just make that column thinner? I know it seems like your answering a questionaire, but one last one. How do I replace the download button? The one that looks like vB's default expand and collapse button. Also, can you check out 'Tools & Utilities' under Programming, something is definitely wrong.

Appreciate it.

Hello,

I have problems with windows.
I can't upload files larger than 2MB.

Help ?

Hi,

i wanna delete the boxes "newest files", "files-stats", and "upper".

I can deactivate it, but the downloadbox isn´t larger then. I will use the full site for showing my downloads.

Can you help me?

[rowlandc]

I was just wondering about the Stats page. Does the data prune itself our does it stay up for ever?

I've set my download data to keep it up for 30days but the Stats page has data since 2months.

[Cyricx]

It appears to not work well with secondary usergroups.

If a secondary usergroup is set to restrict categories and another secondary usergroup is set to allow access to all categories.

The restricted categories are not viewable.

You can already do that m8, if you make member get promoted after a certain amount of posts. You can set that group with the chance to download.

I am having problems with downloading .pdf files, it was fine untill i went to vb 3.6.8
When a user downloads a .pdf it downloads in a split second then, when you try to view the file adobe gives an error saying the file is corrupt.
The downloads don't seem to be complete, only a small amount of data is downloaded hence the error from adobe.
Anyone know why this happens.

Update:

I have set .pdf files to open in the users browser using adobe rather than just download.
Once loaded into adobe the user just needs to click save a copy. :up:
