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

Anyone know how the weighting works?

I have PC Security weight at 1, Windows at 2 and the other two categories as 3 & 4. So, why is PC Security and Windows at the bottom of the list?



Thanks.

This may have been answered but I searched the thread and couldn't seem to find a working answer.
How can I removed the Site Message or Disclaimer I've removed everything in the Site Message or Disclaimer box in the downloadII settings in the administration CP but the column to the left of the download section is still there.

I hope you'll help us too. This seems like a great hack that I'd like to get it working on PC101.

Thanks!

UPDATE: Okay, I just noticed your update to the Download Details...

"Help!!! I can't upload large files?? This is probably the second most asked question. Have a look at this post for the solution."

I will give that a shot. Thanks!

I have the same issue with the security token.
Could not find any answer to that, anyone knows a solution?
Thanks

if a user gets the file name, they can spread it out ..... will v6 stop this? like some anti-leech protection?

First reason, you need to set a higher wait_timeout variable in your my.cnf (and restart MySQL afterwards). As the queries take place after the long upload.
