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

Would it be possible to add a feature like Report Broken Link when linking to a downloadable file outside the forum's domain?

In your AdminCP...go to the following: Styles & Templates/Style Manager

Now you'll want to select the style you're going to edit and select Edit Templates for that style.

Choose the navbar template.

What you'll want to do inside this template is decide where you want to put the link in the navbar. So if you have an idea...all you have to do is paste this code where you want the link to appear:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="downloads.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[ecdownloads_downloads]</a></td>

So just try to find the locations that show "vbmenu_control" in the navbar template...and add the line of code above where you want the link to appear.

BTW...I'm using vbulletin 3.6.8 PL2.

Hope this helped...

Done. Thankyou for info.

i appreciate if this could bee replied

How do i possible add a relevance feature on search function?
Example when isearch for DEF ABC
the result shows only DEF ABC

but if i search for ABC DEF
no results will be shown.
even though the files are their but in reversed

so thats why it will be alot nicer if the search function would be searched by relevance...
please help

If you are getting a blank page, then you probably have an error in your htaccess file. Or ... quite simply the file is just too big! I see you have max size set to @ 1 GB. That's a huge file for http transfer.

Instead of searching for "ABC DEF", search for "ABC, DEF". That way the search treats each word as a word instead of the two words as a phrase.

thanks alot for the reply, but should it result blank page when i import only 4 files and they are at least around 450 mb together. isnt it timeoutissue on the script? i removed the htaccess coded and modified it on phpini instead but didnt work much

but the thing is members are acting retards, since yesterday i got 30 pm that the search function is not working properly. and 30 pms is considered little if you see how much pm i get everyday even though i went on public announcing how to search.

But using the comma is an idea just that im afraid non my members will pay attention to

The import feature in the admincp uses a direct unix copy. I don't see how it could time out but let me do some more testing.

LOL ... we do have it clearly displayed about using the comma. Try this if you want. In downloads.php around line 1814 FIND:

PHP Code:

$keyword = explode(",",$_POST['query']); 


REMOVE the comma in "," making that " " instead ... like this:

PHP Code:

$keyword = explode(" ",$_POST['query']); 


By doing that, each word will be a separate search element. You won't be able to search by phrases but that sounds like a good trade-off for you.

[maidos]

thanks alot for the search help

I know, thats why they are called retards

thanks alot for checking the import issue
