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

Sorry, that's not currently possible. Maybe in a future release but it's a huge re-write of the program.

please there something wrong, i always get error file not found or blank page...
server load is under 1, and everything is working acordingly on the server

[xTerMn8R]

I'm having some troubles now as well... Knew it was to good to be true...

If I Import from admin CP no Problems, If I try and use client user from downloads.php page to add (with admin rights) a file It works fine if the file is under 2MB, as soon as I Increase the file size it give me the attached error. Whats really wierd is this was all working great last night, I dont know what happened.

Any help will be deeply appreciated...

I checked all the permissions on Usergroups and they're fine
Checked Attachment size and extensions and thats fine..
checked files I'm trying to upload and they're fine.
Checked Downloads Settings for Bandwidth and all are -1

What about duplicate files in download folder? will that cause troubles?

Thanks again..

I checked... no duplicate files ???

[xTerMn8R]

Fixed it ... had to edit the php and change BOTH the file_upload max and the Post_upload max. Still get that little error that shows in status bar of IE but uploads are working.

Did find another bug and I dont know if this is a vBulletin error or this mod, but heres what happened. My Time was 12 hrs off being set for PM when it should have been am. I noticed it and made the change, I went back into vBulletin and My Administrators User group had NO permissions for Downloads II and it wouldnt accept any changes. It said it saved the changes but when I go back into the settings they're the same as before I changed them. Really strange and so... I'll be running 12 hrs ahead... Hmmmmmm I guess I could choose an offset 12 hrs behind of what I got... but thats a shabby fix...

ALL help is surely appreciated..

Peace out...

i've encountered another problem where i try to download the file (pdf) , it displays on the current page. One will need to backspace to return to the forum/download page. Any solutions? thanks

Could I suggest leaving out the URL data from search results?

I'll try to figure out where you need to add it for uploaded image's permissions to get changed.

the tiny statement works! but instead of chmod 666, i did chmod 644. no need for 666
big thx 4 ur support!


*NEW ISSUE*
File- & Category name in url issue:

i want to add filename & categoryname into the url.
instead of
downloads.php?do=file&id={idnummer}
downloads.php?do=cat&id={idnummer}

i want
downloads.php?do=file&id={idnummer}&name={filename }
downloads.php?do=cat&id={idnummer}&name={categoryn ame}

{...} <- place for datebase stored variables

i know that is a few changes in the downloads.php script with some sql statement additionals. but i am not into php so much, that i can easily find and replace some "good" code

please tell me and to the other ppl who are waiting 4 this issue (at the vbseo forum), the places and additional codes to bring this feature to DownloadsII
With this 2 feature we can mod_rewrite our file- and catnames into keyword rich download-urls.

I am very thankfull 4 ur support.

Ok Now uploads work fine but when I try and import via admincp I get this error.

Could not import the following files because the import file could not be read or the export file could not be written to: sce_098_full_install.zip

These files are fine and I can add them via the upload feature from download.php ("ADD")
Man I'm stumped...



Thanks,
Termi

Hello,
I have just started using this mod and I have a couple of questions:
1. Is there any way of changing the display order of the categories as well as those of files?
2. Is it possible to add custom fields to the upload file form? If yes, how?

Regards,

[xTerMn8R]

Sorting gets done weight # 0=first 1=second 2=Third, etc...dont know about custom fields
