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
• DownloadsII[Add-On] - Upload Rules

With this version only the product xml changed, but that's not always the case. There's a readme included with upgrade instructions.

Yes, if they are unmodified. If they are modified, you need to revert them manually to get them updated. vBulletin will prompt a message about this at the AdminCP main page.
(But this release doesn't contain any template updates.)

Hey guys,

First of all, great mod! Everything works great except one thing.....

When a use adds an image, it doesn't display. When you click the link, you get a blank white page stating Page not found.

Example link

This file is on my server.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT
Nvm, i re uploaded all the files and it works now, thanks for the great mod^^

Same problem here. My issue is that my adminCP has been changed and is no longer in the default directory. For security reasons I changed it over to a less conspicuous directory. The default admincp directory is now just a dummy directory with dummy files in it. I uploaded the downloadadmin.php file to the correct directory, but something in the installation script does not add it to my adminCP navbar. Can you tell me where I need to alter the install code to change the admincp directory path?

It's controlled by /includes/xml/cpnav_ecdownloads.xml which doesn't contain "admincp" hardcoded in any way. It should work (if you uploaded it)
