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

• 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

man, i have read through most of the responses here and cannot seem to find a fix. i keep getting the error for 'maximum upload limit reached'. all of the usergroup permissions are set to -1 which is supposed to be unlimited. downloads directory is chmod to 0777. is there a fix that i missed somewhere in the thread?

You are probably reaching the maximum php upload limit set by your webhost. This is covered in this thread quite a few times. You might even wan to go to your webhost's forums and look for the solution there as it has nothing to do with this mod, but your server settings.

Does anybody know of any mods or addons hooks that allow premade screenshots to be added to the description field? 200 threads is a lot.

is this setting per file? cuz im trying to upload a file that is 970k in a zip and they are saying that by default it is set to 32mb on my server.

[djsydeburnz]

very strange. if i log in as another 'mod' or 'admin' user, i can upload. it is just my master account that i always use. i checked every group settting that I am in, and they are all set to -1 for every limit. this is strange.

Works GREAT!!

No problems so far. Pretty easy to handle and lots of options.

The coders that do this type of thing for the user community are awesome!

NOW: DownloadsII v5.0.8

[silencerdeluxe]

Hey! I used the mod for months now, still awesome!

But...
...is there any way to get the import function for the Mod-Control Panel too, so Moderators and Supermoderators can import Files from a FTP-Folder on the Server, and i don?t have to grant them Admin-Level?

Ok, i can create a (Sub)domain for the FTP-Folder, so you can set the link instead of import, but this links can copy directly, and will be used from other places than my forum!!!

Hope you understand my bad english!

One more Idea for this Addon: Dead Link Button with PM Notification for the Download-Moderators

[Black Tiger]

Is there a way to fix things so users can only start downloading after a certain amount of posts?
Without having to let users switch usergroups to get it done?
