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

I already answered that question and the answer is no

vBulletin 4 introduces a new style and template system, so all templates need to be redone. Because of that most 3.x vB.org mods won't work with v4.

At the moment there's nothing I can do about this as I'm not an alpha tester. I hope I will have access to the beta version.

RS can you please help me resolve this issue I posted on page 260?

[weedheaven]

rs_jelle i made a post earlier. Got some weird problem going on, and i cant find any solution. Hope you know how to fix it.
My post:
I have a strange problem now. After my host changed the webserver where my hosting is on. Since then i get: ERROR: File not found (when i try to download a file)

While the files are there(ftp), it simply uploads. But when people or myself want to download it. I get that error. With megauploads no problems(http links) but this is really strange. Any help? Never had problems before. And chmod is 777

or is it best to remove and instal the mod again?

-edit- nvm as i didnt got a respond, i removed the mod and re-installed and the problem is resolved.

Thanks for great addon.

i would like to ask something, could we modify the [Link to a File] so we can add more than one links everytime we add one file.

The idea is one file can have mirror downloads more than one link.

How do you think about that?

Cheers!

That's because of the default upload limit of PHP.

You need to create a file named .htaccess (note the period in front of the name). Put the following two lines into the file:


Code:
php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
php_value post_max_size 30MUpload the file into your forum directory (the same location where downloads.php is located.)

This will increase the size of the file you can upload to 30MB.__________________

When a use adds an image, it doesn't display. When you click the link, you get a blank white page stating Page not found.

Example link
http://www.motox.me/forum/downloads/2cnxi61_4bv.jpg

This file is on my server.

If the file is on your server, then it's a file permissions issue. Check the chmod/chown of the file.

It's because you are using a translation package, which contains the old version number. Just update the translation of the ecdownloads_copyright phrase.

For translators it's best to not translate the copyright phrase, to avoid this problem.

You can view that in the AdminCP (download log).

My site crashed and I had to re-install everything. For some reason, one of the things that hasn't been working correctly has been DownloadsII. When I go to one of my files and click download at the bottom I get forwarded to a page that says "Sorry we couldn't start the download" but this doesn't happen to all of my downloads.

I really can't seem to find what the cause is...
