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

• 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

• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

Addons

You need to create a file named .htaccess (note the period in front of the name). Put the following two lines into the file:

php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
php_value post_max_size 30M

Upload the file into your forum directory (the same location where downloads.php is located.)

This will increase the size of the file you can upload to 30MB.

This is either not working for me, or I don't know how to create the file. Can someone help me please.

Jelle, may I ask why you didn't replied to my private message on the http://www.minatica.be forums while you do reply here to people? I've been waiting over a week now.

[nike.stars]

is it possible to change / editing the php file to change thumbnail size? I feel it a little bit small, i prefer it to be about 250x250 pixel somehow

and how do i show up "Mod of the Month" just like in your demo site?

Just make a file called htaccess.txt in windows. Put the lines in there.
Upload it to your server's public_html directory.
Then rename the file via the ftp program to .htaccess and you're done.

If these lines in a .htaccess file don't work or give an "internal server error" notice, then the host has not set it up so you can use these in your .htaccess file. In that case you have to ask the host to raise the size in the php.ini.

[carrlos]

What's up with the support on this mod?? I've posted twice and have gotten no response.

Edit:
I just saw Tiger's response. That's what I did but it didn't work. I am calling my hosting company now.

Edit 2:
They just said my default is 8MB and that the max is 15MB. But the file I tried to upload was less than 3MB. Any ideas anyone?

Edit 3:
Here is my php.ini file:

register_globals = off
allow_url_fopen = off

expose_php = Off
max_input_time = 60
variables_order = "EGPCS"
extension_dir = ./
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
precision = 12
SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="

Actually, anyone can change their php.ini
max upload size. Most host have added the php.ini file to most if not all folders within your domain. If you find you dont have one in each folder, simply add it by copying the one in your root.

Thanks blind-eddie, please see my php.ini file in the post above yours and tell me if you see anything unusual or anything that needs changing.
