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.

• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

I'am having a strange problem of the script renaming the file, and then saying it can not be found.

I can be logged into the downloads folder via FTP, find the file, rename it to what the script it looking for, click the download button - and the file is renamed again.

In downloads options

If yes, files will be downloaded as filename_given_in_form.ext instead of original_file_name.ext.

is set to no.

The renaming goes between 12345-filename.pdf and filename.pdf

The problem was in 5.1.0, so I upgraded to 5.1.1 and its still there.

Does DownloadsII integrate with Amazon's Simple Storage Service?

Found this resource, and thought it might be helpful for the developer:

Is it possible to move from a POST type uploader, and move to a JAVA or FLASH type uploader?

Hey guys, great mod you got going on here. I can not wait to start putting this to use. I have this installed on my vbulletin but I had a question. Rather then use the ./downloads/ directory, could I use an entire different folder that I have all my downloads on? Would I be able to just change the ./downloads/ to " http://myothersitename.com/downloads/ " Will that still work?

I am able to upload a gif image from a link but if it's on my computer i get this message=You may only upload or link to the following extensions: zip rar tar gz
(yes i checked to make sure gif is an allowed file extension)

Hi there, any hint on how to add a thumbnail to files and download sections?
I know I sound dumb, but really can get it!!

EDIT: asked help too early. Found the magic button, thanks and sorry for buggin'!

RS - How much would you charge for the footer (credits) to be removed?

If you can PM me with the price so you don't have to mention it publicly, I 'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

What is the definition of a "day" for this mod?

Is it based on a given timezone (such as the host's/owner's timezone)? Is it based on the user's defined timezone (from their profile)? Is it based on the actual downloads (24 hours)? If the last, is it the first download that sets the 24 hours or the last download?

We have a large number of small files in our database (I don't think there are any over 512K) and this question is causing quite a bit of confusion.
