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.

Hello,

Im currently using the "Links and Downloads Manager" mod. Does DownloadII have any easy import feature that I could use to migrate over?

Thanks

Feature Request: Require a min amount of posts for a user before he/she is allowed to download any files.

I'm getting a lot of new registered members simply registering and going straight for the downloads section, I want to require them to post at least once before they go on their downloading spree.

[DobieGillis?]

getting this error, maximum upload limit reached. I've only uploaded one file. and the maximum upload is set to -1, thus, no limit.

all u have to do it set it up so

1. NO one can access the downloads area cept admins
2. set up a special user group (with access to the downloads)
3 (Registered Members group) set it so after a Minimum amount of posts in the forums the user get promoted to (the user group you just made)

simpler terms
User signs up (registered Member) --->... makes 5 post in the forums.....1 minute later the the user is now in a (special group) and he/she can access the downloads

Ah I like that. Good thinking. I should have thought of that. I might have to change the phrase of the denied message to make them aware to post the min before downloading. Thanks!

[DobieGillis?]

update on my issue... everyone can upload and download including the other Admins, except for me, lol!

Just found this would require the User Promotions in Scheduled Task Manager to be one minute then. Is this a problem? Is there anyway to just have it instantly update?

Am i the only one that runs into this problem?

100MB is not 100MB with this mod.. at least not on ours
