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.

I guess the author has abandoned this thread as far as support goes. Has anyone gotten the error I was getting in the above post I made as far as importing from admincp?

No custom fields are available.

Thanks,

Have you imported ANY files successfully? If not, then I'd say you have a file permissions problem. If yes, is zip an allowed extension?

hey,

I am using DownloadII to upload my articles in PDF format, and people leech my content but never say even thanks. Later on I found all my leeched articles in someother site.

Is there a way to add some hidden fields or information in the pdf file or properties, such as downloaded username and the date downloaded.

I saw some medical websites (http://www.nejm.com), they use this technique to put who is downloading their article. How do they do it?

The coders last post was 8 days ago.

The support is great for a non payed product.

[fariborz khan]

RS_Jelle is the best coder & supporter that i ever seen for non payed product

Yes I was able to Import when I first installed it, but at that time I was getting errors with the upload in the download.php which turned out to be my php max settings in php.ini I changed them to 500MB and the client side works great now but the Import doesnt. Zip file is fine, Attachments settings are correct, Permissions are good... ALso If I uninstall DownloadII it still stays in my Plugins/Products List... ???? and if I try to uninstall again says something like cant find product edownloads or summin

Thx for the support.
