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.

@ RS_Jelle

I send you the dl.php. Maybe it's better, you correct it in the file. Maybe, there comes bugs from the changes...

Thanks

Is each duplicated file listened separately in the "The following files were successfully imported" list after the import?

Sorry for the late late late reply.

No they are not, but If I try to upload a new file, they do show on the import, even the recently uploaded files shows their clone

It looks to me like you are using your normal downloads folder as your mass import folder too. It needs to be a different folder.

oh, didn't know that, I'll change it then

edit:

wait a minute, that will duplicate files also 'cause I'll have the import folder video, and the downloads folder video :S isn't?

or DownloadsII will move the file?

Note too that once you import the files, you should then delete the files in the import folder (using the program of your choice) so you don't accidentally mass import them again. The import program does not automatically delete them from the import folder.

I am getting the error:

You may only upload or link to the following extensions: zip rar tar gz

I have this set as allowed in the config: zip rar tar gz

what am I doing wrong?

When you get the error message, what type of file are you trying to add? You need to make sure the extension of that file is in the list of allowed files.

oh ok, it's just I thought the import and download folder could be the same, so I don't have to go through that extra step.

thanks for your help and product, what I like the most about it, is that is really user friendly

keep the good work

I searched but didn't find an answer so sorry if this was already covered. I need to be able to download large pdf files (100MB-200MB). When I try it downloads for a small period of time and then says it's finished but it's not the whole file. Is this an issue of needing to edit the php.ini file and if so can you ell me what to edit? I'm on a Windows server running cgi if that makes a difference.

[RedGTiVR6]

I'd check your php.ini file to see what the size limit is set to there.
