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.

Do you want to help expanding DownloadsII (if you are a coder)? Check out this post!

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

You get the second error because the import failed. There's nothing wrong with the XML as it works for other people and it validates perfectly when I throw it throught the W3C Validator.
Try to reupload/reimport the product XML with the overwrite option on.

[Nomble]

I thinI got it now, but I can't seem to find the option to set usergroup permissions.

EDIT: Infact everything is screwy, after trying to upload the xml a couple it worked and the usermanager options appeared. But im still missing the admincp download options.

[Pirat3]

hi i downloaded this, can anyone please tell me how to go to the download page where the created catagories exist? And where I can view the catarogies as if a guest would without having to install the download nav button on the README? thanks

For number 2: For a), this is at the moment the expected behaviour, but we should change it indeed. For b), this seems to be an issue when using the "Manage files" delete option (the modify_filecount_user() is missing there).
Use the delete option on the file page to fix this at the moment or open downloads.php:

Find the first occurence of:

PHP Code:

$dl->modify_filecount($file['category'],-1); 


Above this add:

PHP Code:

$dl->modify_filecount_user($file['uploaderid']); 


Thx RS_JELLE -> IT WORKS PERFECT (hope you will fix it in new versions)
i found now the sql errors in the sourcecode of the html error page

i have 5.0.6 installed and im god admin on my site and im getting

You don't have permission to access /forums/downloads.php on this server

and all the settings in the mod are set right and havent changed since 5.0.4 and i was getting this error with that version is it the host that i should contact or is there a quick fix that im overlooking?

[Pirat3]

Problem fixed I assumed that admins would have access to downloads.php in usergroups, aparently they dont

[Tom_S]

Love it! This mod is one of the best yet. Of course it could use some improvements but I see that being done already so I am not griping. This one I would pay for. One of the biggest issues I see with this though is having files posted with file size showing in BYTES. You have noobs not even knowing how to install it much less users that are going to know how to convert MB to BYTES so there for you are going to have a File Base full of (Unknown) for file size.

I would suggest having it so you can put whatever the actual file size is or none at all. I would prefer the actual file size.

Again..great mod. a few more tweaks and upgrades and this one will be one of the best yet. It is worth paying for.

Set the 'Display "Tops" on all pages?' DownloadsII setting to No, but this won't help for the category view.

To remove it from that one, open downloads.php

Find:

PHP Code:

    eval('$dmain_jr = "' . fetch_template('downloads_cat') . '";');
    eval('$dpanel = "' . fetch_template('downloads_panel_side') . '";');
    eval('$dmain = "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_side') . '";'); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

    eval('$dmain_jr = "' . fetch_template('downloads_cat') . '";');
    eval('$dmain = "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_top') . '";'); 


Thanks for the response. I'd strongly suggest putting it as an option in downloads admin as anyone using your vbadvanced plugin will probably want to remove it

Cheers,
Josh
