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

I keep getting the following message regardless of what settings I change. Does anyone know what I need to do?

Sorry! You have exceeded your daily allowed download amount.

[mpoorrajab]

is there anyone that can help me?

[Eruantien]

Same here, need help

[spirittina]

me 2 i wanna know even some of my members cant even download nothing help!!!!!

[Black Tiger]

I think you all 3 have rights problems. That's the reason people get notices they can't download or can't download anymore.
Check your usergroup rights permissions. Doublecheck if people are not also in other usergroups with less rights.

There's the "Title" setting for that ("Enter a title for your downloads section").

You need to edit downloads.php for that at the moment. You can find it at the top of the code (after the includes).

I was wondering if there are any plans on adding a "download archive of selected files" functionallity.
I have had this request on my site a couple of times, mainly from ppl that download alot of small (<5-10MB) files.

/Anders

Not really. I'm planning to use vB 4's asset manager (if possible), but this kind of usage isn't very common.

[gbox master]

[Mahar]

I'm interested in this so, I have a few questions before downloading...

Can my own users upload their own material for download? If so, I'm 100% possitive I'll install this.

[mpoorrajab]

help me please ...

@mpoorrajab: Did you check your folder rights and all usergroup rights? I asked this already 2 times and did not see an answer to it yet. How do you expect to get help if you don't mention what is checked and corrected and what is not?
