Links and Files Database
Version: 1.60, by AndrewD AndrewD is offline
Developer Last Online: Apr 2010 Show Printable Version Email this Page
Version: 3.0.7 Rating:
Released: 01-17-2004 Last Update: 07-25-2005 Installs: 238
DB Changes Template Edits
 
No support by the author.

The VB3.0 version is no longer supported although there have been no reported problems for some time

See here for the VB 3.6 version of this hack, which is now the supported version. This version currently also works with VB 3.5
See here for the VB 3.5 thread for this hack.

What's new in v1.60?

Option to display associated thumbnail images
Option to accept/not accept new entries if these already exists in database
Code for mass edits (accessed via admincp) tidied up
VB phrasing completed
Includes a full French and a partial German translation (thanks to cclaerhout, Allan and LeeWicKeD), handled properly by installation script.
Various bugs fixed and tested against php4 and php5:
Better database validation (on startup/in admincp: links with invalid associated forumids, categories with invalid parentids)
Alternative linkbit templates provided (default uses a fieldset, the other is the old-style table row)
Alternative category selection templates (pull down menu/list of checkboxes),
Star rating displayed using standard VB stars rather than in text form
Series of minor bug fixes
See file change.txt in zip file

What it is/does

- Provides a searchable database of weblinks and/or downloadable files, for example manuals, music files, pictures, etc.
- Integrates within VBulletin, without requiring any code changes.
- Transparently handles links and file downloads. (If you want to provide downloads from your own site, you need a separate tool to upload these files. This hack does not and will not include a file uploader.)
- Provides unlimited nested categories.
- Each link/file can be a member of multiple categories.
- Link and category title and descriptions can use all BBCODEs, giving the possibility to add images, colouring, etc, as you wish
- Viewing/access permissions controlled using VBulletin forum system
- Users can rate links, in a similar manner to VB thread rating.
- File downloads are semi-leechproof, i.e. the user does not see where the file is stored and can only access the link if she has access to the associated forum.
- Audio files playable via Windows Media Player can be offered as a jukebox .
- Tracks who downloads what
- Validates links on entry/editing, and provides admin facility to validate the entire database.

Installation/upgrading instructions

Read instructions.txt in the zip file. Installation script works out whether to install or upgrade.

To upgrade from an earlier release of this hack, simply re-run the installation script. If you modified the templates in the top styles, you will lose these modifications unless you back up and re-edit.

PLEASE BACK UP YOUR DATABASE

For screen shots, see attachments.

Tested with

VBulletin 3.0 and higher
PHP 4.1.1 and 4.3.4, should work with all 4.x versions, seems ok with 5.0.4
MySQL 4.0.
Reported ok with MySQL 4.1 but not exhaustively tested

Credits

Initially inspired by drkFusion's vb2 hack "vb Link Directory" v.2 and discussion about v.3 on Vbulletin.org. This is a complete rewrite with many more features. Every credit to the VBulletin folks for providing the infrastructure and to those on vbulletin.org who have helped with testing.

Integrations/Conversions

Natch has written extensions to integrate this hack with VBindex and VBAdvanced.

For convenience, this hack includes fully integrates with, but does not install, his VBIndex hack - i.e. the required template and code are provided, and the admin panel handles the configuration settings. Please refer to his thread for instructions.

Integration with VBadvanced is described in thread 1319 at vbadvanced.com.

The zip file includes a script and instructions for converting from vbLinks v2 (see thread 44551

Anderew, Great mod, It's exactly what i'm looking for to manage my downloads. I do have a small problem. I installed this mod late last night and seem to be running into an error.
http://www.animesanction.net/testsit...tion=jump&id=1 That is the link to the only link i have posted thus far and it just brings up a blank page. It is a local download and it does display the size of the file in the links table.
http://www.animesanction.net/testsit...ocal_links.php

The file type is setup in my admincp.

PM me an admin userid and pwd for your test board, as I can't tell anything without looking a bit deeper

AndrewD,
I've installed this program as a way to offer downloads on my site for registered users. Also as a way to keep people from linking my downloads to their site and chewing up my bandwidth....

The Categories work fine but I'm limited with only 5 downloads showing up per Category. I've tried changing the links_per_page to a higher number but it still only shows 5 links.... Now I have these set up with a forum permission which only allows registered users to view. Do you have any idea on how to fix this?

Here is a link to my Links Directory (File Downloads)

I see what you mean - but you've changed the templates? Have you removed the pagenav?

can you also try going into your main admincp/thread display options and change the number of posts per page and see what that does

I change the settings in the admincp options but it's still the same...
This is what links_main looks like.....

PHP Code:
 <if condition="$viewcatname">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
    <td class="tcat" align="center"><strong>$viewcatname</strong>
    <if condition="$catclosed != 0"><span class="smallfont">[closed]</span></if>
    </td>
</tr><tr>
    <td class="alt1" align="center"><span class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['member']"><b>You are ready to download</a></b>
        </if>
        <if condition="$show['registerbutton']"><b>You must first <a href="register.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[register]</a> before you can download files. </b>
        </if></span></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>
<if condition="$catlistbit">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
    <td class="tcat" align="center" width="20%"><strong>Category</strong></td>
    <td class="tcat"><strong>&nbsp;Description</strong></td>
</tr>
$catlistbit
</table>
<br />
</if>            
<if condition="$linklistbit">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">
<tr valign="bottom">
<td align="$stylevar[right]">
<if condition="$show['pagenav']">$pagenav</if>&nbsp;
<if condition="$searchnav">
<span class="smallfont">sort by 
<a href="local_links.php?catid=$viewcatid&amp;page=$pagenumber&amp;sort=N">title</a>&nbsp;
<a href="local_links.php?catid=$viewcatid&amp;page=$pagenumber&amp;sort=d">date</a>&nbsp;
<a href="local_links.php?catid=$viewcatid&amp;page=$pagenumber&amp;sort=h">hits</a>
</span>
</if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
    <td class="tcat" align="center" width="20%"><strong>Files</strong></td>
    <td class="tcat"><strong>&nbsp;Description</strong></td>
</tr>
$linklistbit
</table>
<if condition="$show['pagenav']">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-top:3px">
<tr valign="bottom">
    <td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
<br />
</if> 
And the original I started with...
PHP Code:
<if condition="$viewcatname">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
    <td class="tcat" align="center"><strong>$viewcatname</strong>
    <if condition="$catclosed != 0"><span class="smallfont">[closed]</span></if>
    </td>
</tr><tr>
    <td class="alt1"><span class="smallfont">$viewcattext</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>
<if condition="$catlistbit">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
    <td class="tcat" align="center" width="20%"><strong>Category</strong></td>
    <td class="tcat"><strong>&nbsp;Description</strong></td>
</tr>
$catlistbit
</table>
<br />
</if>            
<if condition="$linklistbit">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">
<tr valign="bottom">
<td align="$stylevar[right]">
<if condition="$show['pagenav']">$pagenav</if>&nbsp;
<if condition="$searchnav">
<span class="smallfont">sort by 
<a href="local_links.php?catid=$viewcatid&amp;page=$pagenumber&amp;sort=N">title</a>&nbsp;
<a href="local_links.php?catid=$viewcatid&amp;page=$pagenumber&amp;sort=d">date</a>&nbsp;
<a href="local_links.php?catid=$viewcatid&amp;page=$pagenumber&amp;sort=h">hits</a>
</span>
</if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
    <td class="tcat" align="center" width="20%"><strong>Entry</strong></td>
    <td class="tcat"><strong>&nbsp;Description</strong></td>
</tr>
$linklistbit
</table>
<if condition="$show['pagenav']">

I have an idea / rant....

It would be great if you could make a type of comment system for the links system. Such as,

when you submit a new link it makes a post in the forum if you want it to with the title of the file you submitted and in the post it will include the description. I think that would be a great idea! ^_^

I'm just dreaming though, that sounds a bit much to ask for. But if you made something like that to add on to this, I would be very happy. =)
