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

thanks

[sadiq6210]

I upgrade from vb3.6.8 to vb3.6.10PL2
But i can't upload any file now!!!!

When I try to upload a file

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

RS_Jelle, CyberRanger or any coder
Could help me please to solve this problem ?!!

[sadiq6210]

any body can help??

[sweeps78]

My guess on the reason why no one has responded is because this question has been asked numerous times. Just look through the replies and you'll find the answer.

Has this mod been abandoned, or is the OP working on fix/upgrade to 3.7.x proper?

Will wait and watch

The answer from 'RS_Jelle' is:

but I didn't change any template !! and there is no template in "RED color"!!

The answer from 'Black Tiger' is:

Reimport the product file an set overwrite to yes and put your forums online again.
Often this methode helps fixing these kind of problems.

But in my Situation I can't re-upload all files becuase there are more than 700 files!!
Althougth number of download is 12,400 until now, I think it will be zero when i reupload the product, isn't it?




4- Post #2700 in page 180 from 'tuaguild' and he is coder

8- Post #2742 in page 183 from 'Sadiq6210'

There is NO answer for this post UNTIL NOW!!



So, What we should do ??
There is no coder can solve this problem?!
OR there is no body care?

I use the product in an offical website for a university, Now no student can upload any file and I am looking for support, we can pay for this help !!
becuase vBulletin.com don't support this product as they said !!


Realy I need to solve it as soon as possible

[joyceleong]

Now a weird issue...

When I tried to upload files, it seems that some files are possible, while others are not. And the only way that I could try to upload files for those that can't is by using the linking, instead of upload function...

If persistent to use the upload functions, then it will trigger the security token error.

Is it because the file size are huge?

[TimberFloorAu]

Can we modify the downloads index page, to include a banner above the title bit ( Navigation )

Would rather ask than just do.
Please indicate which template and where we should add code.

Regards Ozzy

[MAME]

I would really like to get this working and would even pay for someone to install it properly. How much?
