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.

Bumping my original question of asking if its possible to store files in a subroot area or having them linked from the subroot storage area as I have a lot of files to serve.

[archet1337]

I'm having some trouble changing the table headers.

Been looking through all the download templates 4 times now and cant find the navigation table. Everything else is fine, just need someone to tell me where to find it.

I want to change the background of it to blue like the ones I've already done on the left side.

What template, or what file to modify?

Okay, your not telling me exactly where your uploading the files to. Are you putting the contents of the upload folder in your forum root, or are you trying to put the upload folder in the forum root by itself?


On a side note, the link in your signature is missing the "p" in http://

i uploaded the files to forum root of course. i checked images, all of them uploaded to downloads folder. i get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/lordrvl/public_html/downloads.php on line 838

$orig_image = imagecreatefromjpeg($dl->url.$newfilename);

Unless I'm misinterpreting your question, it sounds like your asking if you can serve up files into DownloadsII from another location on your site? If so, yes, using the Import menu.

Only other thing I can think of is to try changing image libraries, or check to make sure which your host is running. Your not missing any images. Your failing to create any images when uploading. I presume this only happens when you try to upload something, right? You did CHMOD your downloads folder to 777?

Great thanks

I'm having some problems with uploading files larger than a couple of MB in size.

In FireFox 3.5 I get this error:




In Internet Explorer 8.0 I get the same forum message, but IE says "length" is null or not an object.

PHP Code:

/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=384

The problem here is when I import then it actually copies the file from the subroot storage to the /web/forum/downloads/ folder which I am desperate to avoid.
