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

Love the mod, and have actively used it on a few different forums I frequent, but now I've installed it to my own forum and I get that same 'security token' error when trying to upload a new file. Since I'm new to this I have to ask: which "forms" are we talking about here? Any chance you could list them, or just point me in the right direction? Many thanks.

You will need to go into the Stylers & Templates --> Style Manager --> Choose the Drop Down next to your active Style and choose: Edit Templates

Now you will need to find the templates for DownloadsII and add the line Jelle listed after each form.

Example (downloads_file Templates):

I added the above line right below this line:

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

so it looked like:

      <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
      <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
      <input type="file" size="40" name="image" />

Example #2 (downloads_file Templates):
Same templates, but another form

      <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
      <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
      <table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">

Using the above examples you should be able to use the search template option and find everything you need.

Cheers!

Take your time :up:

You guys are quite demanding. You need to keep in mind this is a free MOD, you did not pay for it, so you should not be expecting anything.

When Jelle and his team finish up v6 they will let us know. The more you rag on them about it and complain the less they will feel like working on it.

Trying just saying "Thank you" for once.
