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.

SOLVED: This is really sweet but I'm getting "you do not have permission to access this page"

NEW ISSUE: When I click on the "more" in the file description the link takes me to the file download page. I noticed this page breaks my template as indicated in the attached screenshot

thanks
" on the left colon in ACP "
I installed it , now try to see how it works

[Drakah]

Can you please tell me if this version lets you customize the fields in the download file information section? I am in desperate need of adding in a field called "Version:" under the Date of the download. I also need that date showing to be the date that the file was last updated/edited.

Edit: Nevermind...fixed it. Installed.

I tired to do a import on a existing directory. It didnt work in my specific case and thats no big deal, but after purging everything I am stil left with this.
The download stats are a bit, erm, inflated. Ideas on how to reset it? I looked over the dl_tables and didnt see where this value was coming from.

[RedGTiVR6]

I just need to check something before I install this update.

The instructions for the upgrade are the same as for a fresh install. Is this to assume that if I upgrade my install, I will have to create all categories again?

Thanks!

No, you won't have to recreate anything. All that's updated are the modifications files and functionality.

The download pages are wider then your skin, and you skin isn't designed to stretch in the event something wider appears in it. That would require someone going in and redesigning it or tweaking it in a few places.

There are no custom fields and only the upload date is shown.
