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

Hmm, those are pretty strange errors
I never heard of those kind of problems and for example the first error: there would be a lot of people complaining about this, but you are the first one. So I think it's a problem with your server configuration, some mods to the DownloadsII code, or something custom like that.

Have you installed the newest version of DownloadsII (5.0.4 at the moment of speaking)? Cause your postbit info says to me that you didn't download it ever, which is pretty strange. Maybe you have the old ecDownloads of Ron1n installed (which we don't support, you need to upgrade to DownloadsII 5.0.4)?
Is there anything special you can say? Like mods to the templates, plugins, normal PHP code, ...? Or a special server software configuration?

Btw: if you can pm me the user info of a normal user test account with upload and comments permissions for DownloadsII, I can check it out for you.

When I try upload an .mp3 it doesn't upload it. It goes through the upload process, but it never appears in the list. The file size is 9+ Mb and I have no limit on file size set. Any suggestions?

I also tried the .htaccess suggestion and it caused an internal server error, I removed the code from it.

It's clearly a PHP upload limit problem. You need to edit your php.conf file or use the .htaccess method. Editing your php.conf is only possible if you have root access to the server. Otherwise I would suggest you to contact your host to ask why the .htaccess method fails.

Yep, PHP upload issue. Fixed...... Thanks!

my PHP Maximum Upload Size 350.00 MB

Hi,

i have these database error when a user try to upload a new version of the download:

Datenbankfehler in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT title, usergroup.usergroupid, username, userid
			   FROM knxusergroup, knxuser
                           WHERE ecdownloadpermissions & 1024 AND  usergroup.usergroupid = user.usergroupid;

MySQL-Fehler : Unknown table 'usergroup' in field list

The error comes because the Table-Prefix is not all set

The right SQL Statement must be:

SELECT title, knxusergroup.usergroupid, username, userid
			   FROM knxusergroup, knxuser
                           WHERE ecdownloadpermissions & 1024 AND  knxusergroup.usergroupid = knxuser.usergroupid;

so how can i fix that?

Thanks

Alfred
