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

You mean another folder on your server? As categories are a database thing only

Set the new folder correctly in the DownloadsII settings (warning: you can't move it outside your forums folder!). Check if it has the 777 chmod (writable). Then try removing the ec_temp subfolder of the downloads folder, if it still doesn't work. Finally you could check the chown permissions.

Hi there,

thank for taking the time to help me/us.

Thats not our problem, proberbly i did?t explain it right...sorry therefore.

I?m talking about the downloaded files themself......we can?t move, rename them.

I?ve made 2 screen?s for you, hopefully you can see what i?m talking about (unfortunally our forum is in german, but i don?t think that should be a problem). And sorry for the size of the screens....the thumbnails woun?t work

thank you

I don't see anything wrong on these screens? They are normal file and edit screens?

(btw: please replace those huge images with links)

[Clani]

I?ve changed the pic?s

The problem is, that there is no button in the upper section to make changes to the file......if I need to put the file in a different category, I can choose a category, but i can?t supmit. The same when i need to rename the file.

The button in the lower section is only for uploading a new file.....but if I press this button, when making a change in the upper section, the whole file is gone because i didn?t choose a new file to upload.

There's only one button for submitting both the text information and the file. If you linked a file, you will see the url when you edit the file. If you uploaded a file, both field will be empty, but you should be able to submit the form without filling them. Then the old, uploaded file will be preserved. Normally it can't be gone if you don't fill in the upload/link field when renaming/moving/...

If it does, please pm me your site url and a login/password with download edit permissions, so I can check it out.

[Clani]

I?ll give it another try

If I?m not succesfull I?ll contact you via PM

Thanks

[Clani]

Me again

I have to create a new account for you, but I woun?t manage befor tonight.

Just a quick update what happened.....moving the file went good, but when trying to download the moved file it says:
Warnung: copy(./downloads/http://) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/downloads.php (Zeile 704)
ERROR: File not found.

See you later, byee

Awesome man, I seen the new version at your site. It looks real good.

I noticed you said lite, is v6 going to be a paid version for full?

No, I'm not IB

I mean I'm trying to release some kind of v6 lite for vB 3.8, so before vB 4 is released.

Don't give me any of such ideas, as I don't have a student job for this summer yet

I checked my downloads logs and it had years of entries. So i tested using 1 day for prune logs.

It still doesn't work?
