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

(If you can't access it, you have to change your DownloadsII usergroup permissions.)

Have a look at the Readme-Install.txt for the template edits to show it in your navbar

Great Mod !

[MjrGaelic]

Installed on my 3.6.7 no probs.

[Snake]

Yep, seems to be working just fine on v3.6.7.

If users are reporting issues uploading larger files, where would I search first?

is this a setting of the server or their browser time out settings or what?

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 


[v12kid]

not sure if I missed it but are you going to add a feature where we can upload the screenshot/thumb when entering a new file into the system? If this already exists please excuse me

great hack!

@ RS_Jelle first, thank's for the nice support

ok. I found that:

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

and changed with that:

$dimages .= '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0"><tr>'; 
            $countnumber = 6; 
            $count = 1; 
            while ($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; 
                } 
            }

But, there are more than 6 Screens in one row and the Style is not correct right now.

That feature doesn't exist at the moment, you need to add them afterwards

I wrote it a bit too quick and missed some things
What I did wrong: I first do the $count +1 and then there's the check. So if $count is 5, it becomes 6 and then there's the check wich resets it (so no new line for the images)
For the layout: I forgot the </tr></table>.

Final:

PHP Code:

$dimages .= '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0"><tr>';
            $countnumber = 6; 
            $count = 1; 
            while ($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) 
                    { 
                        $dimages . '</tr>'; 
                    } 
                }
                if ($count == $countnumber) 
                { 
                    $count = 1; 
                } 
                $count = $count+1; 
            }
$dimages .= '</tr></table>';
