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.

I'm running PHP 5.3, VB 3.8.4, and have hit this message:

I received similar messages prior to VB putting out 3.8.4 with the PHP 5.3 fixes. Hopefully this is something easy to identify and resolve.

Ok, by changing this portion of the DOWNLOADS.PHP

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
@set_time_limit(0);

to this:

error_reporting(0);
@set_time_limit(0);

It resolved the issue.

This was also required for DOWNLOADADMIN.PHP

[RS_Jelle]

You need to set error_reporting() to:

PHP Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192);

What's the largest file size that can be set to be up loaded or downloaded?

[stuartn]

Well I keep getting a white screen on uploading and nothing happens, so I started with a smaller file the maximum I'm getting it to accept is 1.5mb. Now my php settings actually allow me to upload 250mb and I run video's etc and a gallery so I know my .php settings are well covered.

How do I change the time out settings ?

[Dragonlair]

Is there a way to adjust the script to allow for smaller limits (under 1 MB) and/or longer limits (such as a week instead of a day)?
