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

Oke, no hard feelings, but I looked back and did not find that quick anybody else making a statement or "screeming", so that's why I thought you was pointing to me.
But it's nice to hear my assumption was incorrect.

Tried searching for it, but can't seem to find the answer. Does anybody know how to change the side of where the latest files and downloads are shown, instead of having it on the default side (left), i want to have it on the right side.

You only have that with one of your styles? Then it seems more like a style issue?

Btw, v6 (vB4 only) has better RTL support.

Change the content of your downloads_wrapper_side template to:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
 <tr valign="top">
  <td>
   <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="{$stylevar['tablewidth']}" align="center"> 
    <tr> 
     <td valign="top"> 
      <table cellpadding="{$stylevar['cellpadding']}" cellspacing="{$stylevar['cellspacing']}" border="0" width="100%"> 
       <tr align="center" valign="top"> 
        <td class="thead" width="100%" colspan="3">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_navigation']}</td>
       </tr>
       <tr valign="top">
        <td class="alt2" align="center" colspan="3" valign="top">$dlinks</td> 
       </tr>
       <tr valign="top">
         <td class="panel" style="border: 0;" colspan="3" valign="top">
          $dmain_jr
         </td>
       </tr> 
      </table>
     </td>
    </tr>
   </table>
  </td>
  <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
  <td width="225">
   $dpanel
   <br />$dl->downloadsmessage
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

You need to edit downloads.php for that. Search for:

PHP Code:

$smalldesc = ": ".$smalldesc;

It's not a phrase, but a setting in v5. Change the "Title" DownloadsII setting.
