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.

In the private coders forum, there are some ideas and other coders working on their own new points system, but there's nothing available yet. So the only thing we can do is wait, as creating our own points system is impossible (that's a totally new mod).

What about icash, that seems to be the most popular points system at the moment. it is just what i need, i am waiting for a system like this before i re-open my forum. Looks like i will be waiting a while

I have this installed on my forum and I tried testing it today.. I found out that my upload doesn't work. I tried uploading a 10mb file thats format is wmv. It told me there was a upload error. Yes, I added the file extension in the settings. Can someone please help me. I am currently using the newest version.

Alright, I got a image to upload...now, let me try the video one more time.

Great Script

One small problem though, don't know if it's a bug. When a user uploads a gif or any picture, nothing shows and I can see that the link in the program has an extra slash. For example forum.com/downloads//picture.jpg

Same time at the directory of downloads there is the filename of the picture with 0 size

The problem is most likely related to the max file upload size in your php.ini file. Since most folks can't access that, try to below placing the .htaccess file in your forum root directory.

PHP Code:


			
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

php_value post_max_size 10M

I have a few questions-

- will this work with icash?
- will this work with 3.6.6 ?
- can you restrict users based on post count? I onyl want users who have a certian post count or more to be able to access the downloads section. Can this be achieved with a different mod that restricst them to that forum?

thanks for the time, mod looks interesting

Here ist the post.

With this code you can choose the amount of images which fits the best (change the 4 to what you want):

PHP Code:


			
            $dimages .= '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0"><tr>';

            $countnumber = 4;

            $count = 1;

            while ($image = $db->fetch_array($result))

            {

                if (($permissions['ecdownloadpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['ecdownloadpermissions']['caneditallfiles']) OR

                   (($permissions['ecdownloadpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['ecdownloadpermissions']['caneditownfiles']) AND

                    (($image['uploaderid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) AND ($file['uploaderid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']))))

                {

                    $edit = '[<a href="./downloads.php?do=file&amp;id='.$file['id'].'&amp;act=delimg&amp;img='.$image['id'].'" onclick="return delete_it()">'.$vbphrase['delete'].'</a>]';

                }



                if (file_exists($dl->url.$image['thumb']))

                {

                    if ($count == $countnumber)

                    {

                        $dimages . '<tr>';

                    }

                    $dimages .= '<td class="smallfont"><a href="'.$dl->url.$image['name'].'"><img src="'.$dl->url.$image['thumb'].'" alt="'.$file['name'].'" title="'.$file['name'].'" border="0" /></a><br />by <a href="./member.php?u='.$image['uploaderid'].'">'.$image['uploader'].'</a> on '.vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $image['date'], true).' '.$edit.'</td>';

                    if ($count == $countnumber)

                    {

                        $dimages . '</tr>';

                    }

                }

                else

                {

                    if ($count == $countnumber)

                    {

                        $dimages . '<tr>';

                    }

                    $dimages .= '<td class="smallfont"><a href="'.$dl->url.$image['name'].'">'.$image['name'].'</a><br />by <a href="./member.php?u='.$image['uploaderid'].'">'.$image['uploader'].'</a> on '.vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $image['date'], true).' '.$edit.'</td>';

                    if ($count == $countnumber)

                    {

                        $dimages . '</tr>';

                    }

                }

                $count = $count+1;

                if ($count == $countnumber)

                {

                    $count = 1;

                }

            }

Any idea what I can do to fix this?

Here is a link. This should explain better what I would like to do.

THanks

Like wolfe says: your downloads section is private for members. Can you pm me a test account?

Normally the category tree is displayed in your navigation bar.

Indeed, a small bug, but normally the image url still works with this. Will be fixed in a next release.

For iCash: I just discovered that mod, so we will be looking into an integration add-on in the future. Have a look at #1286.
It works nicely with vB 3.6.6 as I'm running it on my forum. Have a look at #1284 for more information.
This is possible when you use the vBulletin usergroup permissions and the promotion system. Set up a new usergroup, a copy of the normal registered users group. Create a promotion to it when they reach x amount of posts and give that group permission to access the downloads using the DownloadsII usergroup permissions.

RS_Jelle and I have commented about a "points" integration in the past but let me re-summarize what we plan to do.

A minor version or so ago, we started introducing hooks into downloads.php. With the next version, we ensure that there are hooks in all the necessary places for any programmer to write an add-on to integrate any "points" system with DownloadsII. That programmer may or may not be me or Jelle.

But, we won't be coding downloads.php itself for one specific "points" program. We will be coding it to be open for anyone who is willing to take the time to write the add-on.

Hi there! Can I have the PSD file of the download.gif? I need it to make the button similar to my other styles.

Thanks,
George
