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

NP, you coder types forget us dimwits don't think to check stuff like that as standard. Thanks again for your patience.

I have Disable file thumbnails set to NO, but none of my test jpg files, linked or uploaded, are showing thumbnail previews anywhere. Its just that little double arrow default icon. Everything else that I can tell is running fine. What might be wrong?

That's strange, I can't think about something causing that if the option is set to no. Can you pm me your site url and a normal user test account (username/password) to check it out?

I was wondering if it's possible to make the reply comments match the look of the standard vBulletin comments?

My vBulletin forum replies are separated (each reply is) and shows the full member account info (profile fields etc) on the right. My downloads comments aren't separated and there's no account info. I want people to think it's just part of the site.

Also, is it possible to have the reply section look like the quick reply from the forums? Mine's all smooshed up against the bottom comment.

Any news on the new release I'm getting all excited since Jelle showed me the pictures

[Saviour]

I've seen several posts regarding this bug, but have yet to see any fixes.

I'm currently running vbulletin 3.6.7 PL1 I have Downloads II 5.0.4 installed.

Problem:

Manage files only displays one page...additional pages are still not being displayed.

Did I miss a fix for this...another version possibly?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, this is a know bug that I'd hoped to release a fix for weeks ago. Legal !%@%@#%$%^&$^ with the x-wife have kept me away from programming and will for at least the next two weeks. I do still hope to release a minor bug update while the work on v6 continues.

how can I have thumbnail image for each entry in "latest files", "most popular files" section
It would also very nice if thumbnail show up in "vbAdvanced Add-On" as well

meantime I'll try to modify the codes and see if I can do it myself

btw this is a great mod, well done

The reply editor is already recoded to use the quick reply editor in v6.
More user info hasn't been added currently to the commentbits (except an edit feature next to the delete feature).

Hmm, how would you place that? A decent thumbnail is way too large to place it in such a small column

Hi Does this run on the database?
