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.

• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

Addons

• DownloadsII ver 5.0 vbAdvanced Add-On

Good point, I agree this is a more flexible solution from just disabling the check

What I did is to rename the ec_tmp directory because I can't delete it. Then I reccreate an ec_tmp directory with 777 permissions. However, problem still occurs. The downloaded file is always corrupted, only 1KB or less in size.

I tried to see the file in my host and downloaded it via FTP and it's OK. Why is it that when I download via this module in vBulletin it's always corrupted?

Does anyone have the same problem or just me? Can you please share it how to fix this one.

The different file I tested was in ZIP format.

That is odd by itself. What type of server are you on? Is it Windows based?

Because the file you download via this module is a file that's been copied from the downloads folder to the ec_tmp folder and renamed in the process.

If you are willing to PM me your server url along with an user account and password for FTP access I'll take a look. Otherwise, I don't know what else to tell you. I know of no one else with this problem.

I got a little problem now since upgrading to the newest version.
At first I could approve files by the "manager file" setting, selecting approve and that was it (use the drop-down menu). But this does not work anymore.
Now i have to click every file which needs approval and approve it in the download section then.

Normally you should be able to approve multiple files by selecting multiple files (die vinkjes er in zetten) and click "go" below. But standaard the setting next to go is [pin] and [categorie] which takes care nothing gets approved.

So like how it's now, you cannot select multiple files for multiple categories to approve at once. So this does not work either.

Can both be fixed? Or at least the drop-down menu approval option which worked fine before?

Westpointer when you get some time can you look at these.
