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

however the files work just fine for me

You have the usergroup permissions setup where super moderators can only see download files that are in category 121. See attached pic. Did you mean to do that?

Any news on the date of the new update for this? THanks.

Great idea for a mod! I downloaded and installed it but have a slight problem. When I go to ADMINCP > DOWNLOADS I can't get to the Categories, Import, and Downloads sections of the mod at all. All I can get into is the Settings section. The other 3 sections just gives me a "404 Page Not Found" error. Does anyone else have similar problems?

I am running vb3.6.8 patch level 2. Thanks in advance! I'd love to get this all working!

You need to make sure you have uploaded all of the included files. It sounds like you missed admincp/downloadsadmin.php

[adoxtater]

That did the trick! Thank you so very much! Not sure how I missed that, but it's working now thanks to you!

I know you must be tired of covering the "blank page problem" but I have tried to modify the .htaccess (non php.ini access) to support 25mb uploads as stated in you post.

However I still get a Blank Page, now the file uploads without an issue it's never not there, the problem is that the files uploaded tend to only be nzbs, torrents or images of less than 1mb.

I also tried to see if it was an issue with the installation by doing a diagnostics--> upload test, but that worked fine and reported no error.

Not sure if this makes any difference but the site uses Dreamhost. Thanks if you can help, but I can understand if you have any frustration in covering an issue that you have sorted out before.

Cheers

Hey guys,

I know there was a little update on 01 Nov 2007 which I totally forgot to install. Is it an update which should be installed or is it one which is optional to install?

DownloadsII stats of my site:
Downloads: 241,201
We have 849 files in 136 categories.

Hundreds of files will be added in the upcoming weeks. Only thing left to say is: What a hack... Chapeau!

It is possible to display the latest files and the popular Files at another page ?

Thx 4 replay.

That's pretty strange indeed. Have you put the extensions on the list of allowed file extensions?

I see you are still running v5.0.5. The newest release (1 november 2007) is version 5.0.6, which fixes a list of bugs and also plugs a small XSS security issue. You can find the changelog here.

It's possible when you use vBadvanced CMPS and integrate it in the pages you want. Then you can use the DownloadsII ver 5.0 vbAdvanced Add-On
