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.

That's very odd and should not happen. I've installed each upgrade on three different boards without losing any data. Anyone else seen this?

No, I installed two upgrades so far with no lost of data. I didn't even backup the database before I upgrade too.

Though I probably should start doing backups from now on... My file DB has tons of files now. My members would be really mad at me if all their hard work got wipe out.

Before i install this, i am wondering is there anyway to add more than one URL to a file? for example what if my file has, part 1, part 2, bla bla, anyway to put all parts in one post?
thank you

NiTRoN · #**225** 08-01-2006, 06:48 PM

oh well no biggie.. I got it up and running 5min later after it happened...

What think it happened was when I did upgrade the postbits weren't showing up at all so I uninstalled the 4.x version.. and reinstalled 5.x... which I think it was the cause of tables being dropped.

Oh well anyhow.. Another question.. Where is it suppose to "Category Image" show the actuall image? I've placed full url and i'm looking thru the categories and don't see anywhere logos/images showing for the categories.

Is there somewhere I need to enable it?

heh, I think the postbit not showing is actually due to a renamed desc field.

All you needed to do was revert a few edited templates for it to show up. The tables should still be there.

The category images show up fine for me.

Thart's what my members do. or merge the parts into 1 file....

I actually scratched my head on this one for a few minutes too! I'd failed to change "Show Download Stats" and "Show Member Files" to "Yes" in admincp -> downloads -> settings. Could that be what's getting you?

HappyPike · #**230** 08-01-2006, 08:15 PM

Cool. Turning on that "Show Download Stats" option got it to work.

Though I decided not to show the info in postbit.. just in profile page is enough.

Everyone should Nominate for Mod o.t. Month... I Personally feel westpointer has put so much time in this and major support.. To not see it in this months Mod o.t. Month sucks but i voted for his other mod
