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

But the problem is when you click on the link you get: Jedi-Jakeyboy, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: etc...

Hi.

I'm having trouble uploading images. I selected allow images in the D2 manager, plus enabled adding images as an option for admins.

When I try to upload an image, I get a blank page. But I know the images are being sent to my /downloads/ folder because I can view them on my server.

Can you help?

Thanks!

You should use usergroups for that. When users have x number of posts they get promoted to a usergroup that can download files.

I'm still wondering about implementing a real notification system for this. I'd like to select groups of users (admins, moderators, super mods, etc.) that are to be notified (via email, not PM) that there is a new download (whether in the moderation queue or not). Is there no way to add this to the current item?

Will that be a feature of the next incarnation of DownloadsII (DownloadsIII?)? I wonder because it's a needed feature for boards that moderate all uploads prior to release (for security reasons).

Of course, being able to add multiple files (just like screenshots) would be nice. For example, a downloads section like: Simple Machines Mods. Just a suggestion...

Just use the PM moderation notification add-on and do this change
