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

Hi there!

I have a problem. I have 160747 total log entries. Verision is 5.1.0.
Prune Download log entries is set to 10
Scheduled Task Hourly Cleanup is active among the others.

But log entries do not prune. Why?

My site fullbackup is loaded.

Are all files at the same place and all directory rights the same as on the previous server?
Check your section where the files are.
They should look something like:
146-filename.zip

If you only have "filename.zip" without the number and dash in front of it, then that is the reason that downloads can't find the files.
In that case you have to look ad the file id's and number all files manually again. Or if you still can reach the old server, download them from there.

Getting a strange error that I think is related to VBSEO. I searched the thread but didn't see a solution.

It's partially within DownloadsII and partially with the Create Threads add-on.

When I upload a file, it uploads file and then when it goes to load the page for the newly added file and it kicks out the "Invalid File ID Specified" error.

The URL it tries to load is similarly structured to the example below:

/forum/downloads.php?do=file&title=test-manual-upload-1&cid=6&ctitle=admin-mod-only-files&id=170

The issue extends to the Thread Creation addon-on since it lists the same URL structure above in the newly created thread.

If I navigate through the DownloadsII directory to the file directly, it displays the URL structure below and the page loads fine:

/forum/downloads.php?do=file&title=test-manual-upload-1&cid=6&ctitle=admin-mod-only-files&id=170

The only difference is & vs &. Odd thing is that pre-SEO the URL is /forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=170 within the DLII directory and in the thread created. It has something to do with VBSEO no parsing the & when uploading a file and when in the thread.

Any ideas?

Safari seems to download an uploaded zip file as an exe. Bug? I tested it in Firefox and it worked fine.

After my host move, my comments dont show up at all.

They were fine before and i double checked usergroup permissions, everyone has access to view them. I also searched through the fourm and reimported the product file and set "Overwrite: Yes" as suggested.

Can anyone please help?

Thank you!
