DownloadsII · **Released**: 07-01-2006

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.

Is there anyway to get this download manager to intergrate into the newattachments.php file so that when a user goes to add an attachment to a post that instead of it going through vb's standard upload manager that it uses this file managers upload manager and add's a link to the file to the post the user is creating.

I see you merged ecdownloads buddy with this (The Buddy's features are now integrated into DownloadsII.) but when on the downloads page if I dont use a username it says Unknown (Uploaded by Demented) any way to just have it show the uploader instead of Unknown...

I need to look at this closer. The Author feature was changed in ecDownloads ver 4.1 causing the Unknown to appear. I'll see what we can do about that on the next release.

I am very happy to have found this! EXACTLY what my site needed! Much more straight forward than the other ones I tried. I am having one problem though.

When I browse to import a bunch of files, then press "import files" I get this message:

Code:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/downloadadmin.php on line 366

I did it on my computer upstairs and it worked, but I wanted to change it a little bit so I deleted all the downloads and now can't get them back in. I searched this thread but didn't see anything.

If it helps, I did chmod the downloadadmin.php to 777.

Thanks much!

Megan

okay, nevermind. Apparently I forgot to check the little 'upload' boxes. Sorry....

On the Stats page, the Bandwidth value maxed out at 4294967 KB. Apparently this is a data type problem.

Right now it's int(10) unsigned:

INT( ) -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 normal
0 to 4,294,967,295 UNSIGNED.

How can I make it open in a new window after clicking download?

Thanks

I found this occurs when clicking on the on the download link located on the page that lists a summary of the files in the category but not when looking at the detailed listing for one file.

To fix it, in downloads.php around line 300 -

FIND:

PHP Code:


			
    if ($db->num_rows($result) > 0)

    {

        while ($file = $db->fetch_array($result))

        {

            $date = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'],$file['date'],true);        

            $downloads = vb_number_format($file['downloads']);

BELOW that ADD:

PHP Code:


			
            // added to open links in a new window Aug 1, 06

            if ($file['link'] == 1)

            {

                $target = 'target="_blank"';

            }

            else

            {

                $target = 'target="_self"';

            }

Any idea when the next version would come out?

Hope you could add a few other features in (like showing the file's category on My Files page and Member Files section in profiles) besides the multiple mirrors...

Also, on the file details page, it would be nice to add a "Last Update" info to show when the file was last updated (like they have here on the forum). perhaps there could be a new "Latest Updates" list besides the Latest Files, Most Popular Files, and Top Contributors lists.

Hey westpointer.. I just though something you might want to include in the installation file. When I did the upgrade/install it dropped all of the ecdownloads 4.x tables. Had to start from scratch.. Don't know if that what it suppose to do. In my case I had old backup of SQL file and had to modify backup to reinsert the proper tables with all my links back in.
