Major Additions - DownloadsII

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.

It's also coded 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid, just like vBulletin itself.



Instructions & Support

Requires vBulletin 4.0.4 or higher. Not fully compatible with lower vB 4 versions.
It works fine with both the new editor in vB 4.1.4 or higher and the old one in previous vB versions.

Read the instructions in the next two posts before installing/upgrading this mod!

You can find an installation/upgrade manual in the zip package (Readme.txt).

I try to answer most questions asked in this thread. Please don't send any pm's if I don't ask for them. 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 some screenshots of the front-end and back-end (AdminCP part) of the DownloadsII software.

You can find a live demo on my own site: Minatica.be Downloads (Dutch).
Though keep in mind that we are running a restyled and modified version of it.

Changelog (version 6.0.9)

Jelle

• Added support for vB 4.1.8 bit processing with 'each' construct (backwards compatible)
• Fixed comma listing for vB 4.1.8 (using "old" method)

Older changelogs are included in the zip package.

Help!!! I can't upload large files??

This is probably the most asked question. It's mostly caused by some default PHP settings: check "PHP Max Post Size" and "PHP Maximum Upload Size" at your AdminCP home.

Then have a look at this post for the solution to up these values.
Also have a look at this post at vB.com (but ignore the MySQL part as DownloadsII is only using the file system).

Without the token, people could post download links inside of IMG tags (CSRF issue), but that's only a real problem if you have big downloads combined with download size limitations for usergroups.

Hey RS_Jelle,

I am also getting a lot of users emailing me about the 'invalid security token' issue.

What if I'm not allowing any members or guests the ability to upload files? And only allowing members, not guests, to download files? Am I safe from the CSRF issue if I take out the guest hash code?

If someone got problem with "�" symbol after the wrapped file description, do the following:

Open downloads.php and Find:

$smalldesc = strip_bbcode($file['description'], $stripquotes = false, $fast_and_dirty = false, $showlinks = false);

Add after:

mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");

Find:

$smalldesc = substr($smalldesc, 0, $vbulletin->options['dl2smalldesc']);

Replace with:

$smalldesc = mb_substr($smalldesc, 0, $vbulletin->options['dl2smalldesc']);

I how there was something posted here about it..
or maybe even disabling something ..in the admincp.

might of been domain / url verification

Yes the directory is chmod 777.

Any idea what settings need changing? I have had a quick look but can't really see anything.

I really need this sorting as I get complaints everyday about invalid security tokens.

[Hippy]

Where in the Admin CP would we do that?
