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

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.

@Cprade: Make spaces in the name. You can leave the physical filename as is, but change the filename in downloads2.

For example. Your filename is:
darnthisfilenameisverylong.zip

You upload this file to your forums using Downloads 2.
Now in the field were you put filename, describtion etc. you put this as filename:
darnthisfilename isverylong.zip or darnthis filenameis verylong.zip.

By creating spaces in there, you will see that the filename will be wrapped over multiple lines instread of being cut out.
I presume that is what you wanted?

Hello Black Tiger.

What I want is the following, which leaves the full file name, which is above the description.

For example, I have a file named:
"Manual para la elaboraci?n de curriculum vitae y carta de presentaci?n"

But after I published it only goes as follows:
"Manual para la elaboraci?n de curriculum vitae y c"

To better understand a picture


I hope I can help.
Thanks

[Black Tiger]

Oh sorry, I thought you wanted something else.

With what you want, you need the help of RSJelle because if possible, it almost sure needs a file or code adjustment.

[Black Tiger]

You probably made no backup of the original files?

If yes, you should put them back in the original location configured by you the first time.
The filename should contain the number 70563 in this case and other numbers with the other files.
If you did not backup your files, then you have a problem.

[Black Tiger]

Please answer the following questions:
1.) Yes oke, but are they in the same downloads directory relative to your forums as before?
2.) Do they also have the numbers in the filename?
3.) Did you remember to make a directory ec_tmp in the downloads directory like /downloads/ec_tmp and also chmod it ot 777?

Only check for files and filenames from which you see this error notice!

[Black Tiger]

First you can try to re-upload all Downloads II files again, be sure to set your FTP program to work in ASCII transfer mode.

What exactly did you do? Because first you say you reinstalled the forum. In your later reply you say you upgraded. Did you first reinstall and after that upgrade or what exactly?

2) yes the files have not been changed or moved at all they still have the same numbers.

Have you really doublechecked the missing files? The error gives a notice that the file is missing.

When I try to download:
http://mugenarchive.com/forums/downl...ain%20Gate.rar
It gives me a 404 not found. So the file can't be there. If I can't find it, neither can Downloads II. Please check again.

If the file really is there, you either have to wait for RSJelle to help you, or if you trust me, give me some ftp access and acp access (by pm or email), so I can see what's going on, if I can find the problem.

You have to edit the order in the CPnav XML file. I think Downloads II is includes/xml/cpnav_ecdownloads.xml

You edit displayorder. You'll have to look at your other cpnav files to see what number they're ordered in to know where you want your Downloads controls to appear.

i installed this mod but the problem is that we can't upload high size files.
and also when we give it direct link, it still shows direct link to users.

it's the best if developer fixes this issues, else it's not so hot mod.
bytheway, .htaccess solution not works with me

[Black Tiger]

Can you give a screenshot of that direct link? Because I don't see it when I link to files.

About the .htacces and high size files, you might try a php.ini in your webroot.
Put these lines in your php.ini:
upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 10M

This is for 10MB, adjust to your needs. If this also does not work, or causes a "error 500 internal server error", remove the php.ini and contact your host to increase the uploadsize.
