DownloadsII · **Released**: 07-01-2006

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.

Do you want to help expanding DownloadsII (if you are a coder)? Check out this post!

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.

Great mod...I'm finding though that a lot of files are timing out during the upload. For instance I tried to upload an mp3 file...tries to upload for about 5 minutes and then times out. Is there any way to fix that?

tEChniiQue · #**3583** 05-06-2009, 05:02 PM

I've installed this mod and all seems to be working fine except for one thing...no stats display on the ecDownload main page (i.e. latest files, most popular, top contributor). The module for each category appears to the left, but there is no data. On the other hand, if I click stats all of that information is viewable.

It's been a while since I've used this mod so I can't remember what appears in the middle of it's main page. Currently, mine only shows:

Any think they can shed some light on me towards this? Thanks in advance.

How can it display stats if you didn't add any files yet? There's no data

You need to start by adding categories in the AdminCP.

Thank you for the reply...
But hey, don't take this the wrong way - "I'm no IDIOT".

I've added quite a few files which is why I know that when I select "stats" it shows where my download section is so far when it comes to the content.

That's what I meant when I wrote:

So, with that cleared up...is there any one that may have an idea that could help me to resolve this? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

You have to update counters (you have link for that)

Hi great Mod no issues but i had asked earlier page 225 if there was a way to see the status of a file being uploaded instead of it looking like the page has hung, there is the progress bar at the bottom of windows but this reaches the end and the file is still uploading. Is it working that way for everyone??? Other than that i'm happy with it thanks to the devs:up:

Jackie1 · #**3588** 05-09-2009, 06:53 AM

PHP Code:


			
Database error in vBulletin 3.8.2:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE `dl_cats` CHANGE `desc` `description` TEXT NOT NULL;

MySQL Error   : Duplicate column name 'description'
Error Number  : 1060

Pls help me .
I can't install DownloadsII.

Thank you for the reply...I did update counters several times and still no go (on the day I originally posted).

I've been offline for a couple days, decided to try and tackle this again, and the data was updated. So problem fixed 'I guess". I'm just not sure as to why it took so long to update the information but it seems to be working now.

Just curious, has anyone else had an issue with delayed data updates in this mod?

No disrespect to the creator intended, I've actually been using this mod for a couple years...I just recently converted a portion of my site back to vB, hence the fresh install of this mod.

Thanks again to the creator...I love this app!

Sunka · #**3590** 05-09-2009, 08:10 PM

Another solution is to just download some file from download section, or just change little picture for one file you have uploaded.
That also rebuild counters...

Try adding a plugin to the forumhome_start hook location with this content:

PHP Code:


			
require_once('./includes/class_downloads.php');

$dl = new vB_Downloads();

(I didn't test it, but it should work normally.)

The plugin worked great thanks!

Can you give a list of variables we have available once class_downloads.php is hooked into forumhome?

I currently have:

{$dl->stats['files']}
{$dl->stats['downloads']}

working wonderfully. I tried to use: {$dl->stats['bandwidth']} but it seems the bandwidth variable is only used in downloads.php, in the do=stats function.

It would be great if someone could make a true forumhome stats vbulletin mini-product for DownloadsII so that we can display stats like:

total files
total categories
total diskspace used
total bandwidth
total contributors
etc.

I'd love to do it, but my vB plugin writing skills are not up to the task.

Also, I saw mention in earlier posts in this thread (some from over 1 year ago) that version 6 of DownloadsII was "coming soon". Any ETA on the release?

I'd love to donate by purchasing a branding free option, but it seems you said that you must wait till version 6 to offer that.

Thanks for a really awesome vB addon! :up:
