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.

Hi Lionel and thank you for helping me with this but I am stuck.

I added the wasp.js in the clientscript folder and I put the js link to it between the head on the downloads template.

Where do I put this and is it in the downloads template or the downloads.php file?
<script>
waspEmbed('downloads/{$file['url']}', 250, 188);
</script>

I am completely lost and don't know what to do with the following instruction:
[QUOTE]
Now if you have other categories which are not videos, like pdf or zip, this is where it gets tricky. You'll need to edit the downloads.php file , do a left join to get category parent so you could do your conditional <if condition="$parent=='XX'">display video, don't display download button<else />just display download button</if>

The only documents that I will be using are PDF, EXCEL, WMV, FLV and SWF files.


Leave it to me to break something LOL LOL

Thanks in advance.

This is fantastic stuff. I will be playing around with the settings and I'll be sure to post back here when I know more about what kind of mods I can do. In the meantime I have a question:

The number 1 resource I am sharing with my download manager is image files. I would like a thumbnail to be automatically generated when the file uploaded is an image itself... eg if I upload a 1200x256 image I want it to automatically create a shrunk-down version as the first thumbnail on the list. It is a hassle to have to manually add a thumbnail every time. Is there an easy way to do this?

Are there any information when the next version (v6.0) will be released ?
Thanks for answer...

For me, January = crappy month for coding due to a bunch of R/L BS. I'll try to catch-up with Jelle on IM this week and see where he stands.

I'm getting this error when trying to import through admincp.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/downloadadmin.php on line 337

I seen that there were some that had the same error, but, I didn't see a solution to the problem yet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
