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 am a little worried to change the folder back to 777 incase I get hacked again. Is there anything i should change on my server to ensure these php files in this folder will not function if they are able to upload them again?

do you allow php files to be upload?

I've just run into a strange issue. Suddenly I'm not getting any notifications of files waiting in moderation. Before I was getting PMs notifying me of this.

Now I can't find where this setting is. Can anyone refresh my memory?

im still getting the security token issue for images only, not files.
ive updated vbulletin to the latest stable release along with re upping all the downloadsII text files in ascii mode.

i lost my count where my answers goes unanswered while other ones get answered

will there be any feature that can support several download path not only to /downloads when you import files through admincp.
because once your hdd space is full you cant import any files at all because all files copies directly to downloads

symlink do not work because u need to copy directory to a new hdd to make it whole work but what is the point of having my primary hdd when i bought the big hdd for the very purpose to store the files for this mod

[freni32]

When I access this url:

http://www.radardetectorlaser.com/forum/downloads.php

It says at the top "the download directory doesnt exist"

which is probably why I cant upload files to it?

I uploaded all the files from the mod, which file is this referring to that I am missing?

I'm having this same issue and I see that others are having it too. Why can't we get some support on this???

Come on guys, not everyone knows the answer to your questions. I'm sure when someone who can help sees it, they'll try to help you. Or, it's already been answered somewhere earlier in the thread.

[maidos]

i pointed my questions to the authors of this mod hoping they could help me, but they avoided my questions at least 5-6 times

[Digital Jedi]

A lot of times a developer will not answer questions that have already been asked and answered earlier in the thread, or if you have not marked installed. I'm not saying that's the case here, but you should try covering your bases first.
