DownloadsII · **Released**: 07-01-2006

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.

Do you want to help expanding DownloadsII (if you are a coder)? Check out this post!

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.

How would i prevent the left nav being displayed? I run downloads 2 in vbadvanced and i already have the vbadvanced module displaying.

Hi dev team,
i have 2 issues to talk about it

)

1.
Situation:
Moderate uploads = on
Problem:
After a "registred" user uploads a file, there comes a "database error page" (see attached screenshot)
But the file is 100% correctly uploaded + waiting for moderate
But if a admin uploads a file, there is no error page, its redirected to the uploaded file.

2. Stats of Uloads
Situation:
User have Uploads = 0
Uploads preferences are "moderated"
User uploads a file into downloadsII
Problem a):
The stat of "uploads" in postbid and memberinfo are directly counted. (User uploads = 1)
Normally, it should have to wait, until a admin has moderate the upload and give it free.
Problem b):
If the admin deletes the upload, the stat in postbit&memberinfo is still the same. (still user uploads = 1)
Normally, it shouldn't have to count the uploaded file.
My Gamble solution:
Use the "refresh count" function of DownloadsII, after that, the user upload = 0

regards

Can you post the actual SQL error in English?

cellow · #**2057** 12-12-2007, 02:17 PM

there is no sql statement error or sql error ... only this page that says, that there is an error with the database.

As far as I know we didn't ever support download managers (yet). A download manager can pause a download and there has never been any PHP code to accomplish this (again: yet). I don't know how/why it could have worked some time (in each case without allowing to pause a download), but we consider this for v6.

Set the 'Display "Tops" on all pages?' DownloadsII setting to No, but this won't help for the category view.

To remove it from that one, open downloads.php

Find:

PHP Code:


			
    eval('$dmain_jr = "' . fetch_template('downloads_cat') . '";');
    eval('$dpanel = "' . fetch_template('downloads_panel_side') . '";');
    eval('$dmain = "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_side') . '";');

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
    eval('$dmain_jr = "' . fetch_template('downloads_cat') . '";');
    eval('$dmain = "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_top') . '";');

Have a look at the source code of that database error page. Database errors are "hidden" since the vB 3.6 branch (you can find it between <pre> HTML tags).

For number 2: For a), this is at the moment the expected behaviour, but we should change it indeed. For b), this seems to be an issue when using the "Manage files" delete option (the modify_filecount_user() is missing there).
Use the delete option on the file page to fix this at the moment or open downloads.php:

Find the first occurence of:

PHP Code:


			
$dl->modify_filecount($file['category'],-1);

Above this add:

PHP Code:


			
$dl->modify_filecount_user($file['uploaderid']);

Like I said: the only change to the actual download code we made between 5.0.5 and 5.0.6 is a small change to a header. Pausing downloads etc. requires other headers and HTTP requests, but we don't have such code at the moment in DownloadsII, so normally this change doesn't matter (we only included it as someone had some corruption problems with IE and this change fixed it, I don't know why, it only happened on his server).

To undo it:

Open downloads.php
Find

PHP Code:


			
header("Content-Type: $ctype; name="".basename($filename)."";");

Replace with

PHP Code:


			
header("Content-Type: $ctype");

I don't know how this could affect the special pausing/resuming etc. features of a download manager.
