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

• 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.

well im not sure about these script errors, im also recieving errors with vbugtracker, and i KNOW now that these errors didnt exist before my site got moved.... but im not sure of exact time that something got messed up or WHAT got messed up.

so far it only seems to be the two hacks i mentioned having any problems, downloadsII and vbug tracker....

reinstalling them doesnt fix it either :\

im just wondering any if anyone knows what could be causing this or maybe if there is an option somewhere i missed that would cause script errors like this.

Has someone created a vbadvanced module for latest comments?

[MotMann]

Is the new version out? And what happened with watermarks?

[josh_B]

It installed fine on my 3.6.4, however, I dont see any options except admincp>vb options>downloads.. There is nothing in usergroup manager etc..

chmod has been performed on the files from ssh etc..

Any ideas?

[Mudvayne]

Did you upload cpnav & bitfield .xml file?

[josh_B]

I did yes, but when I copied them over from my upload location to where they belong, I put them in the wrong dir.. Thanks for making me aware!

Lesson, double double check

Its all there now.
