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

Hi,

How do I reset Top Contributors.
As I have

Admin 5
User 0

I want to remove the User 0
What database table is this in?

The reason for User being there is I was testing something and removed that file.

in need direct link for file download without log in to the forum

If you want people to download without log in to the forum, you need to change the permissions for unregisted members to allow the download.

Adding An Customize Column To DownloadsII?

[kenshin-]

i got a problem:

downloads which are added/uploaded via Frontend or imported via ACP (and therefore have their direct link hidden while downloading ) do simply stop after a certain while, it seems around somewhere of the 5 minute mark. Im guessing theres some certain timeout im just too stupid to find , or is it some php setting? I was thinking about max_execution_time but since this would raise the setting for everything and not just for the DownloadsII-downloads this cant be the way to go, can it? It kinda sucks if you cannot even complete a 1,1G download while downloading with somewhere around 2,5mb/s because "it takes too long". It stopped somewhere around 990MB, for users downloading way slower somewhere around half the size.

Downloads that have been added via a link (and still are locally on the same server, so the real path to the file will be revealed while downloading) work flawlessly though as do direct-downloads of any files from the server that one would know the real URL to access them.

Sorry if it has been answered before but finding some real information in a 256 page thread is quite hard even with a search within the mod.

So anyone any ideas what i might be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

I spent a long time trying to get the image thumbnail for download files to link to the downloads file description page and not the actual downloads file. I was wondering where one would post a template modification for a mod, and just to throw out that if anyone was intrested in that feature they can send me a message. (at least untill I figure out where to post it.)

Hi everyone, I uninstalled a previous version of DownloadsII and will be installing this version when my mysql error 1054 issue fixed.

I am not good with coding, databases, etc. and hope that someone can tell me how to completely remove the old version of DownloadsII.

This is the error I am getting and any help is greatly appreciated:
