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

Some fast written code:

Open downloads.php

Find

            while ($image = $db->fetch_array($result))
            {
                if (($permissions['ecdownloadpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['ecdownloadpermissions']['caneditallfiles']) OR

                    $edit = '[<a href="./downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'&amp;act=delimg&amp;img='.$image['id'].'" onclick="return delete_it()">'.$vbphrase['delete'].'</a>]';
                {
                    if (file_exists($dl->url.$image['thumb']))
                    {
                        $dimages .= '<a href="'.$dl->url.$image['name'].'"><img src="'.$dl->url.$image['thumb'].'" alt="'.$file['name'].'" title="'.$file['name'].'" border="0" /></a> by <a href="./member.php?u='.$image['uploaderid'].'">'.$image['uploader'].'</a> on '.vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $image['date'], true).' '.$edit.'<br />';
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        $dimages .= '<a href="'.$dl->url.$image['name'].'">'.$image['name'].'</a> by <a href="./member.php?u='.$image['uploaderid'].'">'.$image['uploader'].'</a> on '.vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $image['date'], true).' '.$edit.'<br />';
                    }
                }
            } 


Change to

PHP Code:

            $dimages .= '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" border="0"><tr>';
            while ($image = $db->fetch_array($result))
            {
                if (file_exists($dl->url.$image['thumb']))
                {

                    $dimages .= '<td><a href="'.$dl->url.$image['name'].'">'.$image['name'].'</a></td>';
                }
            }
            $dimages .= '</tr><tr>';
            while ($image = $db->fetch_array($result))

                }

                if (file_exists($dl->url.$image['thumb']))
                {
                    $dimages .= '<td>by <a href="./member.php?u='.$image['uploaderid'].'">'.$image['uploader'].'</a> on '.vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $image['date'], true).' '.$edit.'</td>';

            }
            $dimages .= '</tr></table>'; 


As I said, it's rough code. It's just written to work, but that's all

Strange, but this isn't a DownloadsII problem -I think-. It works fine for me. Maybe it's a very big PDF and your running over your PHP upload limit? So try a very small PDF to be sure if this is the case.
[/QUOTE]

Well yes i suppose its a large file,its not often i use pdf for site but was impressed with mod and its simplicity the file is 7.9mb ...not checked the php limit...but not really bothered as just ftp to site then gave a url to file instead as only got the 1 file and most are zip.

Excellent mod and very happy

Thanks Peter

Works fine for me although I find the upload error process annoying. It waits, seemingly, for the file upload to complete and then tells you if the file format is incorrect (or similar).

Still, an excellent modification.

7.9MB isn't very small, a lot of hosts are setting smaller values as the PHP upload limit. But you can change this easily with a .htaccess (have a search in the thread for this).

And is it really incorrect, or not?

[TotalTorque.net]

Yes, but the point is...if it checked the file type before commencing the full upload, it'd save a lot of time.

That's a bit difficult, just because the PHP routine: it's a post method form, so when you click the submit button the first it does is uploading it totally before processing the php work.

So the same "problem" also exist for the vBulletin attachement manager for forum posts. At the moment there's no real fix possible.

Hi CyberRanger and Jelle,

I just love this mod.. and my member do to!

I'm planning on upgrading my board from 3.5 to 3.6 soon and I was wondering how the developments of the new version are going? Perhaps you could give us a little update, would be sweet!

Anyway, keep up the great job!

[logofreax]
