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

I added the red code to my php.ini file and now all is well with the uploads:

allow_url_fopen = off

memory_limit = 50M
post_max_size = 30M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 30M

expose_php = Off
max_input_time = 60
variables_order = "EGPCS"
extension_dir = ./
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
precision = 12
SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="

I did this and it did not work for me. Any ideas why?

For those of you that are interested (since I didn't find it here anywhere) in modifying the postbit a bit more than just showing number of uploads and downloads, here's a snippet of code that will only show those if the user has uploaded or downloaded something, and if they have upped something, then it will provide a link to their uploaded files.

This needs to go into downloads_memberinfo_postbit in your templates:

<div><if condition="$post[downloads]>0">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads']}: $post[downloads]</if></div>
<div><if condition="$post[uploads]>0"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]&tab=dl2modification">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_uploads']}: $post[uploads]</a></if></div>

Thanks go to Lynne (one of the mods here) for putting me on the path.

Cheers!

Tried that, no change at all in the Profile, still only shows Up & Downloads, not more.

Ok, scratch that, i was looking for it in the Statistics tab. *LOL*
But it was in the Downloads Tab of course. Thanks, now works like a charme.

Yeah, I suppose I should have made clear that this info was going to change what is displayed in the user info space on a post (aka the postbit). The link goes to the downloads tab on the poster's profile page.

Having said THAT, it wouldn't be hard to mod the statistics page to show the same info, I just don't need that as I figure if you're already in a profile page, you can click on the downloads tab pretty easily.

Now I have a question... Any one figured out a way to get a thumbnail to show on the Downloads tab in the member profile? Just want the first one, and only one.

Thoughts?

Reading through the posts I'm getting mixed feelings about whether or not this is stable for 3.8 and if there are any bugs I should know about before I dl it.

Any input?
