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

Nevermind, I seem to randomly fix it. However, its different now.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO dl_files (`name`, `description`, `author`, `_author`, `uploader`, `uploaderid`, `url`, `date`, `category`, `size`, `pin`)
									VALUES('Test1 (Part 1)', '1', 'FuKer', 'FuKer', 'RiosJoe', '1', 'test.zip', 1198161075, '1', 1337133700, '0');

Be sure to check the "Import" box at the end of the file's listing too for each file.

The above error doesn't have anything to do with Downloads. Your mysql server instance is mad.

Yeah, its not liking big files to be uploaded it seems. However, since my current host limits HTTP speed, I need to figure out a way to allow uses to use download Managers with this mod. I've tried it and it only allows them to download downloads.php.

Hey now that 3.7 beta is out, will this work with this, or will some changes need to be made for it to work.

Thanks.

I tested it with beta 2 and it works fine (didn't test it with beta 3 yet, but that can't be a problem normally)

Okay back to working out how to put the link into the forum so our massive 9 members can have a play with it. (We aren't live yet).

Very easy mod to install.

Uhmmm Stifmeister where the heck do you edit permissions?

Can't seem to locate anything in the ACP, though at this stage of my vBulletin education it's a place off the edge of the World. One of my other Admins is screaming at me not to change anything

They are in the "Usergroup Manager", just edit every user group and give them the permissions you want.

Thanks dude, eventually will get around to working out the ACP.

Yeah that is standard vBulletin behaviour. I guess you've used Invision before?

Thanks for this mod I likes it very much ... it's save all my troubles to hunt for places to upload my files.

*Installed*

Thanks ~
