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.

For some reason, as an admin, I get a

Sorry! You have exceeded your daily allowed download amount.

Message. Now I checked the Usergroupd permissions, and for all my usergroups, they are -1. I even tried entering "9999999999" for an amount. I still get that message.

Now I log out, and I can download ok. It's wierd. I searched for this limit error, and I didn't come up with any results.

Anyone have any tips or things I can check?? It appears to be my admin usergroup. And my usergroup permissions are set up, I even tried to cycle them to a huge number. Still get that error..

Any tips?

Rebuild the bitfields: admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields. I think that will fix it.

You are correct! The file that gets copied to ec_tmp is okay. However, when you try to download it via this module, it comes down as a 1k file. I'm not sure why!!!

BUT - I do have a work around. In admicp->downloads->settings, enter the extensions you allow for upload in "Open File Directly in Browser" field. They will then download correctly.

Now, why does your site have that behavior while no one else does???

You aren't forgotten ... just haven't had time to really look at it yet.:cross-eyed:

[DementedMindz]

westpointer question is there anyway to remove the side block when they are on the file page?

[DementedMindz]

nevermind found it was adding adsense to the downloads page instead of having the top contribs.

Oke, no problem, as long as I know it will be looked at in due time, I'm quite satisfied and I can wait. Thanks!
