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.

• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

Addons

• DownloadsII ver 5.0 vbAdvanced Add-On

was wondering is it possible to display the size on each category ? like how much size it is inside the category?

also i want to display file name on alphabetic order in default, dont want the members to change itself i want it to show auto.

[skooby]

Looks like my hosting company (Midphase) set the max_download limit to 10mb and if I try to add the 2 lines in htaccess.php I get a 500 error. Not much else to do.

Anyone else use midphase as their hosting company that got this to work (on a shared plan)?

Your server is running safe mode. You MUST manually create a folder named ec_tmp under your downloads folder. Be sure to change the permissions to 777.: Currently Under Maintenance

You need to do like the message says. Under your downloads folder, create a folder named ec_tmp. Then, change the permissions to 777 (rwxrwxrwx). If you don't understand how to do that, ask your host for help.

also is itpossible to only grant a specific usergroup to only import files, since i haveuploader as usergroup and its really bothersome for our admin to import files one after another.... So cant you make a special access for only uploaded so theycan only import the files?
