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

If you want to change the default order for how the files are listed, in downloads.php around line 291 -

FIND:

PHP Code:

    if ($sortfield == '')
    {
        $sortfield = 'date';
    } 


CHANGE TO:

PHP Code:

    if ($sortfield == '')
    {
        $sortfield = 'name';
    } 


Thanks for the quick reply. That works perfectly. And yeah, my file listing was by date added.

Thanks

I will ask it the designer who made it, but I think he deleted it.

Not at this moment as there's no database field which stores the last edit time.

Installed Thanks!!!
I am getting "Upload failed" Every so often with no reason given.
It doesn't seem to be on large files. Any ideas?
Could this just be my connection sometimes?

[DementedMindz]

that or your hosting cause I never got it once.

Right, it's something in your connection, php.ini setup dealing with the file size, or server issue. Here's the code that generates the error:

PHP Code:

                if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'], $dl->url.$newfilename))
                {
                    chmod($dl->url.$newfilename, 0666);
                    $size = @filesize($dl->url.$newfilename);
                } 
                else 
                {
                    $errors['message'] .= '<center><span style="color: red;">The upload failed!  Upload error.</span></center><br />';
                } 


Basically, if the attempt to move the uploaded file from your server tmp area to the downloads folder fails, the error appears. The exact cause cannot be determined by this program.

NPs Thanks anyway
