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)

• Backported CSRF security fix from the vB 4 release
• Added permission check for Update Counters

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.

Is it possible for users to sell their files through this hack?

No, not really. There's no permission or payment system set up for that.

Hi, can you help me out on this problem. I've just moved to a new dedicated server with Apache v2.2 + PHP5 + MySQL 4.1, then problem is when i tried to import files via admincp it got real slow when doing the "doimport", takes 5-10 minutes just to import 7-14 files. I've never had this problem before on my old server and i think i set the config same with myold server. It load the page "preimport" really fast but when starting actual importing work, it's taking forever eventhough the files have been copied into my download dir successfully really fast (check the files via SSH) but the page "doimport" keep loading, trying to reply back or something according to the server log file.
I check the server process log while "doimport" is running and it show POST... "W" Sending reply and hog 1/2 of my CPU usage. Please help me on this and thanks in advance.

p.s. and also when I click "Update Counters" to recount all files after imported, it take 10 minutes to finish.

My guess is the difference between how PHP5 and PHP4 handle memory. Ask your host what memory_limit is set to in php.ini. My guess is that it's memory_limit = 8M. Ask them to increase that to 24M. That should help.

[ntloc]

Well, i set that 500M (also try no limit -1 too) since I have about 2GB of memory for my server, that won't be a problem. Any other problem i might have you think? I've also try to downgrade to using PHP4 but didn't help either.
regards.

I can't think of any. The script uses a simple unix copy command.

i set the limit for file to -1 which should be unlimited

why are file above 75mb - 100mb + not uploading

What is the max upload size, ie what is the value of upload_max_filesize and post_max_size?
