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.

Hi CyberRanger, I seem to be having a similar problem as maidos. If you would not mind I could use your help...I can create categories & subs to, but I can't get files added through the forum or import them in admincp. I have set the "downloads" folder permissions to 777. I know this is vague so if its OK I will PM you access to the site and ftp.

Are you checking the box after each file that you want to upload? I uploaded two from that directory without error.

The upload worked great for me by doing http://www.dungeonlan.com/forum2/dow...hp?do=add&cat=. Are you sure you were trying to upload a file that has an allowed extension? (right now you have that set to zip rar tar gz)

Here's the test file http://www.dungeonlan.com/forum2/dow...p?do=file&id=1

EDIT: on thing I did notice is that your style is preventing you from seeing the displayed error message if you try to upload an file with an invalid extension.

Check out the two attachments. There is an error message but you can't see it until you highlight where it is.

oh i didnt see the those box where u can tick on under import anyway works great now thanks XD

OK thanks so much .. .. I was trying to upload a .jpg file originally, and thought that because it was listed in allowed image extensions it would let me upload it.

"Allowed Image Extensions
Users will only be able to upload files with the following specified extensions. Note: must be lower case, separated by spaces ----jpg jpeg jpg2 gif png"



So would I need to add the jpg extension to the list under---------"Allowed File Extensions
Users will only be able to upload files with the following specified extensions. Note: must be lower case, separated by spaces-----zip rar tar gz.

Correct, allowed file extensions are the files themselves that users download. The image extensions are for "screenshots" that you want to include about the file.

All makes sense now thanks again..

How do I adjust the font size?

Specifically at download page home, it lists the number of files for each category. I'd like to increase the font size of that number if at all possible. Any ideas?

Good work guys, upgrading...
