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.

Notes

• ecDownloads Buddy is NOT compatible with this version. If you are using the Buddy, you should UNINSTALL it before installing DownloadsII ver 5.x.x. The Buddy's features are now integrated into DownloadsII.
• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

Addons

• DownloadsII ver 5.0 vbAdvanced Add-On
• DownloadsII PM moderation notification
• DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On
• DownloadsII Simple RSS Feed Add-On
• DownloadsII[Add-On] - Upload Rules

It shouldn't, but sometimes a mod will reveal layout problems in your HTML that wouldn't have shown up otherwise. Try running it through the validator: http://validator.w3.org

Great mod!

I have a few feature requests:
Is it possible so that when there is new content in the Downloads area the navigational link will turn red or display a small image that says "new" next to it?


Even though this modification is small that is found HERE:

You can do this with usergroups. You can promote users to a different group when they reach the 10 posts.

I'll donate for the extra time you will be spending to port it from 4 to 3.8. I don't plan on upgrading to 4.0 I don't need it.

<if condition="$post['postcount'] == 10"></if>

That would be the conditional, you would just need to place it over the download buttons, or do what Jelle said and promote the users.

cold you please tell me which template should i post this condition

[Stanthrax]

Here is a little tweak that replaces the upload and download text with icons within the postbit. You can see the number of uploads or downloads when you mouse over the icon. I credit post 3394 for the if statements so they only show when there is an upload or download.

Upload the attached icon files to your images/misc directory and replace everything in your downloads_memberinfo_postbit template with the following code.

<if condition="$post[downloads]>0"><img border="0" src="images/misc/16_icon_download.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_downloads']}: $post[downloads]"></if>
<if condition="$post[uploads]>0"><img border="0" src="images/misc/16_icon_upload.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_uploads']}: $post[uploads]"></if>

I am having a problem, after last time we imported the database from vb3.8 cause vb4 wasnt working really well for us. But now when i upload or want to download a file in the download section. It says ERROR: File not found While it does vieuw like it uploads it, when its redirected. I get the page as usual, when i click download i get : ERROR: File not found

How can i fix this, i never had this prob before. And for now i dont know a solution, or would a reinstall help? All is setup as it should. Linked files do download. But no files that where uploaded or what i am trying to upload.
