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

Jelle/CyberRanger,

Is there any plan to add a "Subscription" feature so people can subscribe to a file and be notified when a new version is released?

Thanks very much for all your hard work! It's greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I am having a little bit of difficulty setting the download limit. I tried creating the .htaaccess file with

php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
php_value post_max_size 30M

Every time I try putting this in my forum Directory my forums crash and the error is "Internal Server Error" Any Ideas?

[Black Tiger]

It should be named .htaccess not .htaaccess. But if this is a typo and you have it in the .htaccess and receive the "Internal Server Error", then your host has not setup php and Apache that you can use these value's in a .htaccess file.
In that case you need to contact your host.

i hope the coder can bring up the possible bugs here, unknown file size and no eta.. and ppl could bypass download restrictions

Since i updated to 3.7.0 i've been getting some weird bugs with this modification. Somehow spammers are able to submit files (as an unregistered user) even though unregistered users don't have access to add files. I even tested by logging out and trying to submit a file and it wouldn't let me, so i dont know how these spammers are doing it. Luckily i have moderation enabled for file submissions so the files dont actually get submitted. Still its annoying.

Anyone else have this happen to them?

Since 3.7 I can't upload files anymore!!

It alway say "fill in the red marked fields (Rote Felder müssen ausgefüllt werden" but all the fields are filled in!

any ideas???

That's not because of your vB 3.7 update, but because of a GARS update probably.
You can find the solution in the first post

How does the "Import" feature work? I have many files already uploaded and would like to put them in DownloadsII without having to download them then upload them again. That would kill my bandwidth.

Another question, if I have the need later on, can I create sub-categories and move files that are already uploaded to those sub-categories???

[|Jordan|]

RS_Jelle, any idea why this is happening? Has anyone else reported it?
