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.

• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

thanks for rplay.

Yes Cyber, I was able to Import when I first installed it, but at that time I was getting errors with the upload in the download.php which turned out to be my php max settings in php.ini I changed them to 500MB and the client side works great now but the Import doesnt. Zip file is fine, Attachments settings are correct, Permissions are good... ALso If I uninstall DownloadII it still stays in my Plugins/Products List... ???? and if I try to uninstall again says something like cant find product edownloads or summin

Thx for the support.

Sure, write it and we'll add it! We currently have no plans to add it but it would be a good addition.

I'm still confused. Are you trying to use the mass import feature from the admincp? Or, are you simply linking to the files on different server?

[xTerMn8R]

Thanks for the reply Cyber, Its working now... LMAO... I think it had something to do with Upload limits and/or changing my date and time, cause i changed the setting for Download Wait period to Zero and Now everything works... thanks for the great support for an Excellent mod.

Tom

PS Maybe I'll up the waiting period now and see if it still works... LOL

Hi, can this be set as a download repository where each user can only see files set for his eyes only?

[BozzaJos]

Hey guys,

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a reply with some features I requested for this hack. One of them was that I would like to see that the hack picks the Author's name to show the download on the profile instead of the Uploader's Name. Jelle responded that it wasn't a useful feature but I do have something else to add about my request.

I upload almost all the downloads myself. To make sure the downloads are shown on the correct profile, I do Assign Uploader and change it to the membername of who created the download. One problem: When doing that it gives that person the ability to delete the file. This is something I can't have so I had to change them all to something else. This means that the files won't be shown on the correct profile anymore. I still would like to request the option that you can make sure the download will appear on the profile of the Author instead of the Uploader.

Thanks again.

Best regards,

Bozza

Changed the Waiting period in Main settings and everything still working fine...
