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.

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.

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

Hi I have a problem.

Ive set my default view to alphabetical which works on categories but not downloads. Is this normal or is it also suppose to sort downloads aswell?

I would prefer to sort them alphabetically so if the mod doesn't do it how can I force it?

Thnx for any help offered.

Thanks.

It's not phrased, so you need to edit the plugin code. In the vB 4 version it's phrased.

AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> downloads_location_unknown -> Edit

Did you revert all customized templates after upgrading to version 5.1.2?

Open downloads.php
Find

PHP Code:

$sortfield = 'date'; 


Replace with

PHP Code:

$sortfield = 'name'; 


In the vB 4 version there's a new category based option for the default sort order.

Hi First thanks for this, works great for me. Just have one small question:



For some reason when I want to add a image to the upload it becomes stretched : The image I add is originally 50x50 . But after upload the image gets re-sized some how to 50x100

Any Idea's ? If I missed a post about this I'm sorry

Thanks for any help

If someone could put the code together for the integration of vBcredits with the DownloadsII mod, I would be willing to pay :up:

Any takers?

Hi, I couldn't find if this had been asked before so please forgive me if it has lol

I have allowed uploads for just a couple of usergroups, is there a way to exclude usergroups not allowed to upload from showing on the Top Contributors?

Out of the allowed ppl I am the only one so far and it is showing names of members who cannot upload anyway lol

Hi, could someone tell me where I can edit the template to change the width of the "latest files," "biggest uploader" etc to be wider... and the navigation width to be smaller. take a look at the attached screen shot, hopefully that helps.

I tried editing downloads_main, but that only edits the table with the categories. I think if I change the navigation table width, i can extend the latest files table width

Ive recently switched servers and now when I try to download any files I get "Error file not found" The files are in the downloads directory, but it still errors out.
