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

Screen of results Table is for testing, don't laugh

[CyberRanger]

LOL! You may want to REPLACE this:

PHP Code:

while ($file = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
    $alldownloads .= '<tr><td><a href="downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'"></a></td><td></td>'.$file['downloads'].'</tr>";
} 


WITH:

PHP Code:

while ($file = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
    $alldownloads .= '<tr><td><a href="downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'">'.$file['name'].'</a></td><td>'.$file['downloads'].'</td></tr>";
}

I'm loving the look of this mod, but can it be installed on 3.6.5 without to many problems?

Thanks!

Thanks!

All 3.5.x and 3.6.x versions are fully supported. So 3.6.5 is supported and 3.6.6 will be supported too (or the vBulletin dev's should change something in a very weird method). There are no big vBulletin code changes between small bugfix releases.

If he's not too fast with writing code, so it doesn't work

Just have a look at the package, there's a license.txt included
It's always great to see some new add-ons. If there are "missing" hook locations, you can always request them for a newer version.

Why don't you ask the moderators/admins to move this thread over to "vBulletin 3.6 Add-ons" section ?


I'm sure there are many persons like me who don't even look 3.5 mods section when they have 3.6 installed.
