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

Dear RS_Jelle,

Firstly I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful mod which I have been using for quite some time now. It has definitely made life so very much easier.

Secondly, is there any chance that you would be updating this mod for vBulletin 4? Will this current version be compatible with it? I'm sure many other people would be interested to know a bit about the future of this awesome mod.

If the file IS on the server in the downloads (maybe you changed the name?) directory, then check the file/folder permissions (chmod, chown) etc.

It will certainly need update as the vB style system changes for example. But as vB 4 isn't released yet, I can't say a lot about that

Solved it.

In case anyone else has this issue, open up /includes/xml/cpnav_ecdownloads.xml

find this on line 3:

PHP Code:

<navgroup text="Downloads" hr="true" displayorder="15"> 


and change the display order number to something other than 15 (16 worked for me).


Trying the mod out now, will mark as installed and rate when done

Thanks for the reply.

No, nothing has changed and nothing wrong with the directory as all uploads work and are downloadable.... just can't view images....

Any idea?

DownloadsII 5.1.1 Changelog

Jelle

• Fixed bug with download log pruning (name of the hook location changed)

Probably a dumb question, if I update, will it mess with downloads already added to the system?

I have a strange problem now. After my host changed the webserver where my hosting is on. Since then i get: ERROR: File not found

While the files are there, it simply uploads. But when people or myself want to download it. I get that error. With megauploads no problems(http links) but this is really strange. Any help? Never had problems before. And chmod is 777

Hello.
I have a problem or doubt when I have a file in moderation queue.
When a user have the link of this file (if file is in moderation queue not appears in list of downloads), well, when a user have the link of this file, if the user go to download this file, not appears the $vbphrase[ecdownloads_file_in_purgatory] (This file is in the moderation queue).

Appears other phrase of product vbulletin (not privileges for edit...).

I have any value bad configured?

Thanks and regards!
