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.

• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

If u have mp3 players in profiles or want to embed mp3 uploaded files in posts you need to have the direct links to the files.


In order to achieve this edit the downloads_my template

Replace all with

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="{$stylevar['tablewidth']}" align="center"> 
 <tr>
  <td>
   <table cellpadding="{$stylevar['cellpadding']}" cellspacing="{$stylevar[cellspacing]}" border="0" width="100%"> 
    <tr>
     <td class="thead" width="17%">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_name']}</td>
     <td class="thead" width="17%">Date and Info</td>
     <td class="thead" width="16%">Status and Rating</td>
<td class="thead" width="100%">Direct Link</td>
    </tr>
    $dmyfilebits
   </table>
  </td> 
 </tr> 
</table>
<br />
$navigation

and replace downloads_my_bit template with

<tr>
 <td class="$bgclass"><a href="./downloads.php?do=file&amp;id={$file['id']}">{$file['name']}</a><br/>{$file['author']}</td>
 <td class="$bgclass">{$vbphrase['date']} : $date<br />{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads']}: {$file['downloads']}</td>
 <td class="$bgclass">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_rating']}: $grade<br />{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_status']} : $status</td>
<td class="$bgclass"><input class="bginput" type="text" value="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/downloads/{$file['url']}" size="90%" onclick="this.focus();this.select()" /></td>
</tr>

The direct link is only shown for the users file when going to My Files and the result is this (when u click it gets highlighted and u can copy paste)

how do i change the navbar?

[cowcowcow]

Love this mod.

Right now i would like to have different permissions for uploading within the same uploading section.

For example there will be a "public uploaded files" category and an "admin uploaded files" category. Obv the public wont be able to upload in the admin area, but can still see the files, whereas the admin can upload/veiw anything.

Is there a way limit permissions by the exact category?

Thanks!!

[cowcowcow]

I dont want to simply change viewing permissions, the option for that is there already

"To permit this usergroup to view all categories, leave this entry BLANK. Otherwise, enter the categories to include or exclude (depending on the setting above) separated by commas. For example: 1,2,4,6"

Is there a similar option for uploading rights?
i.e To permit this usergroup to upload in all categories...

What do you want to change? You can disable the navbar button in the downloads settings. And you can change the downloads_navbar_button template.

That's not possible at the moment.

Jelle in that case would it be possible to have two download modules i.e creating a copy of download.php and renaming it as download2.php and going thru all the installations steps? This way it seems i can have different download areas with different user permissions.

No, that would require renaming a lot of variables in the PHP code, otherwise they would conflict

Like I said, you can disable it in the downloads settings ("Show Navbar Button" Yes/No).
