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.

Yes, you can list them in the usergroup permissions (exclude categories).

I have a second question (thanks for your first response) when the Hack "Downloads Create Thread" do a Thread it is a moderate download, how I can change it that the Download is not moderate ?

[Black Tiger]

The top contributors are always the same people on my site because only a few people are allowd to upload (mainly moderators).
Is there a way to remove the "Top Contributors" part of that column?

I think you mean the "Can Avoid Moderation Queue" usergroup permission?

Setting the amount of top contributors to 0 (and run the update counters) will hide it

hello, i aprpeciate if the author(s) can at least take a considertaion regarding the report feature since i dont think im the only one who like this feature since this can help us to prevent any illegal uploads

and also on manage files when i want to delete a certain category it shows totally blank even though that category consist 2000 files. And i do not know if the files will be deleted on server if i delete the category by admincp

Thanks it works! I did not even had to update the counters. Setting the amount to 0 and clicking manage files was enough to remove the displaying.
