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

Hey Jelle,

Been using this mod for ages now and almost reached the 1,000,000 downloads (not how many files there are lol). However, since a couple of days, I have encountered a problem. A Moderator of mine (is in a custom group called Trial Mods) can't add files any more. When he tries to add a file, he gets the following message:

"Maximum Upload Limit would be Exceeded by this file. Try a smaller file."

It was working before for him. I tested it out by using a normal members account but for a regular account, it works normally. Same goes for me, the administrator. Are you familiar with this problem and do you know how to fix it? I haven't made any changes whatsoever and I just upgraded to the latest version but still the same problem.

I hope you have an answer to this problem.
Thank you kindly in advance.

Bozza

HERE is my post on how to add for my members

[jimjam]

We just had our databased Nuked by a hacker,

I saw that a new user had uploaded a file called aaaaaaaa, or somthing like that. (don;t know the extension) I noticed it on a "Recent Uploads" mod on the VBadvanced front page. When I had a look in the downloads section the aaaaaaa file was not there, shortly after the site fell over.

Subsequent investigations found these files in the DownloadsII folder. see attached

We do not allow these files to be uploaded, any idea how they got there, I do not want to re-activate the downloads mod just in case. Thanks

[AURFSCAN]

Thanks for posting that jimjam, that looks like some serious sabotage.

Members were signing up to my forum downloading stuff and then they were never to be seen again.

So I'm looking into adding another usergroup so members with less then 10 posts cant up or down files.

Yeah that's the way to do it!


I've changed the places for some hooks in my templates too, no problems at all. It's just your preferences - where do you want to display those additional informations.

The author should investigate this and I recommend not deny uploads for registred users.

Same with other Mods in the Navbar, like the IRC Chat or the HelpCenter. I Just don?t find a link of that in the Navbar template, how can that be ?

Edit the downloads_navbar_button template under the Downloads Templates in your Style Manager.

Most likely the mods use the plugin system to add a template into the navbar and other places. Helps keep installations easy for the end user.

As the error says:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'mgc_cb_evo_permissions' in 'field list'

It's a problem with the MGC Chatbox Evo mod. You didn't installed/uninstalled that mod properly.
