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.

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.

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

Could this be done if you use date field so when editing a file, date changes and have the file appear on " latest files " column

Thanks

Hi thank you very much for this...Awsome..

Just need small help please.

My forum is /vb/forums/images/.......

How do I set up the download gfx to show and also the images that i upload.

I realise that the paths are wrong to the original template.

Just need a pointer as to what needs changing.

Thank you for your time.

I discovered a little bug. When I'm in the Manage Files section, there are a lot of files and below i see 5 pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 just as on the forums when you have multiple pages in a thread.

But when I click page 2, 3, 4 or 5 to see what's there, I get an empty page with only the head (Downloads) with "search" and action etc.
But no files.

Here's a running list of things I plan to fix next week in a minor release. Let me know if I missed any.

1. Manage Files Multiple Page Problem:

   Now sorting by Name an Number of Downloads are working.
   
   But if somebody want to sort by Upload Date or last Download, it doesn?t work.

4. Restrict Image Upload to own files:

When i turn off this option for Registered Users in Usergroup Manager they can't upload images at all and when it's turn on, they can upload pics wherever they want...

5. Update Counters:
