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.

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
• DownloadsII[Add-On] - Upload Rules

That line (1392) is when the hook dl_post_upload_add is called. Are you running any of the DownloadsII add-on's?

[cosy]

yes i use DownloadsII PM and DownloadsII Create New Thread
i bet i miss sone settings :S

[mark|3]

Yes i did. I simply ftp-ed the filed to the server and linked them manually.

the hyperlink for the most popular download is in this format >> http://www.xyz.com/forums/www.xyz.co...?do=file&id=19

That's pretty strange as the url is created like this:

PHP Code:

$url = $vbulletin->options['bburl']."/downloads.php?do=file&id=$id"; 


So we take your vBulletin forums url and add the downloads part, which should work fine

Is your forum url correctly set in the vB options (without an ending slash)? Have you modified the DownloadsII templates?

Reupload (and overwrite) all the 5.0.6 files again to your forums FTP. You should have missed the /includes/class_download.php file which was updated to fix the 0 comments counter problem (after running the update counters).
I tested the fix and it should really work

@All: I just tested it and DownloadsII 5.0.6 works fine on the new vB 3.7 beta 2.

Hi Jelle

I have checked the url and it correct format. And i did not modify the quotes for the link.
I typed the location of the file in "Link to a File". Will it be convenient if you could view my site?

Thanks

User are getting file not found errors on some downloads

Yes the downloads folder is 777 and all the files are 666. We installed VBSEO at around the time the downloads stopped working. Whould this have anything to do with some of the files not being found?
