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.

Notes

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

Addons

• DownloadsII ver 5.0 vbAdvanced Add-On
• DownloadsII PM moderation notification

Or remove

PHP Code:

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true); 


from downloads.php, which will remove the CSRF security check. Although I don't recommend that.

Thank you Jelle, worked like a charm!

Try putting this line in your downloads.php (after the other defines):

PHP Code:

define('GET_EDIT_TEMPLATES', 'add,edit,file');

Thank you very much!! It worked

wondering, on your new version have you fixed the issue regarding the members that can easily bypass the download restrictions by just flushing their ip? I did follow your instructions for a fix that you provided on the earlier post here however that only made worse and took away half of the members normal download restrictions. Say if daily download is 6 times the regular members can only download 3 or 4 times sometimes nothing at all.

also about the unknown filesize and eta? im not sure if its just me but i think its not since i get the filesize if i download without the download script.

Have you checked my pm regarding the downloads.php that got infected with a trojan?

sorry if i seeem rude but can we possible get the new download version sooner if you dont include abes hack. there are mods for that already that webmaster can install

[maidos]

Im also interested how to add external search code on non vb page or vb page outside downloads.php
The code you provided few months ago only work internally.

That's not possible because of the CSRF security tokens vBulletin is adding to each post forum. You can't generate those easily outside of the vBulletin framework.

Oh thats too bad. But on future request can you make the download search bar on the same position as vb default search bar. So when user open the collaps bar from advanced search they can be able to search on downloads.php?

Beside about the trojan infection?

The downloads.php file isn't containing a trojan. You can check out its code as it's open, but you can't write a Windows trojan in PHP
The AV is reporting the downloads.php file as it's serving the download. The problem is the downloaded file itself of course and I don't know that one. It can be a false positive ... or not ... The files in your downloads section aren't my responsibility
You can have the same thing with the vBulletin attachments system.

oh ok but thanks in that case. But yeah couldnt find any trojans scanning kaspersky.

But i hope the next release it will fix the bypass on download restriction by just flyshing the ip and the unknown filesize.. continue with ur great work
