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

You still need to set your usergroup permissions

AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager

Just add your Javascript popup code to the correct template. For adding it to the downloadbutton together with downloading the file, you need a bit more complicated code.

For Javascript popup code: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=javascript+popup
The first result is already a good one

Note that a lot of people are using a popup blocker and that popups are really irritating things.

while ($file = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
    $alldownloads .= '<tr><td><a href="downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'"></a></td><td></td>'.$file['downloads'].'</tr>";
} 


Now you can add in the downloads_main template {$alldownloads} where you want (indeed, with { and }). So it will look something like this to add in the template:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="1">
<tr><td>File</td><td>Downloads</td></tr>
{$alldownloads}
</table>

It should work, but I didn't test it, so there might be an error in it.

I've try, but it seems doesn't work ;( (i think i've do something wrong, cause there is no change on main page when i paste {$alldownloads} to downloads_main template).
But still thank you for help

the query is slightly wrong. should be:

PHP Code:

$filesexclude = $dl->exclude_files();
$result = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files WHERE ".$filesexclude);
while ($file = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
    $alldownloads .= '<tr><td><a href="downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'"></a></td><td></td>'.$file['downloads'].'</tr>";
} 


You should be placing this around line 1977 BEFORE this:

PHP Code:

    eval('$dmain_jr .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_main') . '";');

    if ($dl->statslatestfiles > 0 OR $dl->statstopcontributers > 0 OR $dl->statsmostpopularfiles > 0)

Have you also added the PHP code to downloads.php like I said? Without that, the $alldownloads variable doesn't exist.

Edit: CyberRanger was a bit faster

Oops, that's DownloadsII v6 coding with the dl2 prefix

[Kr0nica]

Now i have a database error

PHP Code:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.5:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM dl_files WHERE;

MySQL Error  : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

You are both fast

[CyberRanger]

change the SQL to this:

PHP Code:

$result = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files WHERE ".$filesexclude." 1=1");
