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.

Well, does the download directory exist?
I'm not sure. I just follow the manual come with the application to install it; I don't know how to create the directory. Any suggestion or walk through will really appreciated.

OK, I admit defeat here, I have tried tirelessly for almost a week to read through this entire threads 200++ posts for an answer to my problem.

The problem I am having is the dreaded security token issue.

I am on vB 3.7.x and have DownloadII 5.1.0 installed (uploaded in ascii mode)

Here are some of the fixes I have tried (sorry if they are not specific I dont feel like researching for the post numbers, that and I'm not a coder at all)

1. The php mod to disable the security token (true changed to false) - Result: stopped showing the security token message but had the same result of nothing uploading

2. Tried to add an htaccess file to the forum root to raise upload limit - Result: killed my forums and had to remove the file

3. Tried the template changes for the download_file and download_file addit and added the lines - Result: No changes, still get security token messages

4. Tried to find info on what I would need to to make a php.ini file (I have no idea what code goes into this file) - Result: N/A I would need specific info on what code to put into a php file or someone to provide a php.ini file for me to use (Again, I'm not a coder, sorry)

Looked through vB.org and vB.com about the issue andthe only other info I have seen simply suggests I reupload all non-image files for vB and reinstall vB all together.

I'm sorry if I have missed some crucial info to fix this problem but I am ready to give up and look for another mod, which isnt what i want to do seeing as how popular this mod is and the chances for support are very high.

I hope the info I have provided is enough to give more info or provide some help, pm me or post here if more info is required. If one of the coders/author for this mod would need/want to work on the site/mod directly I would appreciate it and can provide the info for that.

Thanks again for what I'm sure will be a stellar mod assuming I can get it working!

Edit - After writing this I tried to upload a small file (4k) and everything worked, but the file I had been using to test was @10megs which leads me to assume something else is the problem. I have double checked my vB settings and other permissions etc to ensure the filesize limits are set high enough. So my only logical guess would be that I need the htaccess file to work without breaking my site? Any help?

A directory is just a folder on your server. Double check to make sure a folder named downloads exists on your server where it's supposed to be.

Question...
Does this allow the downloads to be stored in a file on the server so that only members can access them only and not be directly linked to... I currently am having a problem with members copying and pasting the links to my downloads and distributing them which circumvents what we are trying to do which is to drive up membership and participation...

Thanks sorry for the basic question... I hope this is what I'm looking for...

Guests can be prevented from accessing the downloads in the Usergroup permissions. At least, that should be the point of even having Downloads permissions. I guess the only way to be sure is see if you can download this:
http://www.cogonline.net/forums/down...&id=1&act=down
http://www.cogonline.net/forums/down...p?do=file&id=1

I have it set to Can View Files, but not Can Download Files.

Yep that seems to work guess I'll have to test drive this on my alt forum before we go live... This should solve the problem... I spend hours building PDF's just to find out I have to change the links because someone decides to steal the link and take it off the site...

Thanks

Max upload file for PHP is 8 MB

I tried Increasing it but it gave some error when I was trying to view the site
So i Pulled back to 8mb and started uploading manually to the ftp and inserting the link in the download page.
