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.

Addons

• DownloadsII ver 5.0 vbAdvanced Add-On

here is one of my idea..if it can be added with downlaodsII

like : ibproaracde has an existing option that : daily *post needed to play arcade.User can enter arcade zone but cant play.

can DownloadsII use this option ?

----------------------
So that user has to post X to enter download zone.

Its a similar option.I think downlaods II can use the same option.

Pls think.

I set up the php max file size to 60 mb ^^
it worked before my move to another server, so maybe the scripts are damaged?

helo..
u r on a shared host ?
if yes..u have changed file size to 60MB from ur php.ini . but it cant overwrite the main php.ini

2ndly : what is ur script execution time. I gez it maybe +/- 30 Sec.

firstly contact ur Host provider and ask
1. max file upload size. [if u based on mp3 8MB is enugh]
2. script execution time.[its alos imp. if execution time is 30 sec and with in 30sec if ur file upload not finish.U will face error]
so plz collect these info...
If ur on vps or dedicated try increasing ur max file size + Script Execution time.

there is no reason damage script during migration...we have migrated 3 times within last 1.5months. ALl of our script is okay.We just have to do the CHMOOD.

Useless since there is no Option to add Categorys by ModCP or from Downloadlist and there is no possibility to leave fields blank that you dont want to use.

Nice for up to 4 or 5 Categorys with a very small amount of Links.

Absolutelly terrible at more then over 50 Categories and 1000 Links.

[Zia]

yeap...having some option with in modcp(enable/disbale option at modcp) would be nice...

it actually works great for me, since I want to use the system for s pecific file and versions.

I will only be the one who uploads, or has any control over it.

however id stil llike to hide the download link from users until the user who wants to download, actually replies or "comments" on the download first. (call it a hide hack thing)

I am having the same problem. I rebuilt the bitfields, but it's still happening. Only to those of us logged in, not for guests.

I seem to be having trouble when I try to change a usergroup's permission. I get an SQL error, this is a screen shot of what it looks like.

When clicking on a members profile to see the files they have uploaded, one member has 4 pages worth of files. When I click on the next page to see the other downloads, nothing happens, it does not continue to the next page. Basically it is stuck on page one and will not show the other pages of downloads this member has uploaded.

I am wondering if this is because of the vBSEO plugin I am using?? When I hover over the next page, the link the url says "http://www.simracingdesign.com/members/jasonrsc.html"

I would like to figure this out so I can keep a watchful eye on the amount of downloads my staff are required to meet per month.

I have already reported a similiar bug to vbseo last week, infractions in members profiles where there was a second page would also not go to any other page. maybe you should report this one as well since its happening on your board, i dont think i have any members with 4 pages in there profile.
