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.

safe_mode On On
safe_mode_exec_dir no value no value
safe_mode_gid Off

[cOuNtErFiET]

i would REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate that as i like the ability to hide some cats from certain members and overall look of the 4.1.x versions

I hope I am remembering correctly, Westpointer...

MySQL field names that need to be addressed:

desc in dl_cats should be renamed as it is a MySQL keyword.
desc in dl_files should be renamed as it is a MySQL keyword.

The issue is when you do a MySQL export using MySQLDump, it will export fine, but importing will fail.

hi westpointer..
thnx man...

now can we hope to have the intigration with vbux please?

Some Request:
1.Comment system similar to 'Quick Reply'.
2.Can't Download without Leave a coment.
3.Enable/Disbale any Sub or Sub-Sub catagory.For saving Band width.
4.Ban any particular user/users from download section.
5.Report Broken Link.(By kliking the button a pre-defined report automatically post in pre-defined forum/thread)
6.Replace "Download" with an Image.



Thankx in Advance.

They download fine on my test site. Can you send me the URL to your site? Also, what is the OS? Seems in the past I remember Windows servers not downloading those files correctly.

I'm not sure why this happens on some servers but not on most. For now, I'd suggest you zip them so that users can upload and download them.

What is your server OS?
