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.

Hi, I was just wondering is it possible to add a "Date Updated" feature? So that people will know when an items been updated with a new file?

Also, is it normal for this addon to add more an more files when you do edit and add an updated version of the file?

Cos I just uploaded a new build of an item on my downloads list an I connected to the FTP site to look an saw 2 copies of the same file but with different random number thingy at the start.

Thanks loads, an keep up the great work this addon is very useful!

That image isn't used anywhere in the DownloadsII code. It's only using /images/buttons/download.gif

There's a problem: comment doesn't work for me when adding new file and viewing file

[icewarp]

When i upload a file with 242k, i received this error:
"Maximum Upload Limit would be Exceeded by this file. Try a smaller file."

And, can i upload a file using ftp and display at download page?

Hi there,

we have a wee problem with our downloads

vb 3.8.2
downloadsII 5.1.0

We can´t move files to another category.
Everytime we try through edit the files are gone.

The following warning is shown:

"Warnung: copy(./downloads/http://) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/downloads.php (Zeile 704)
ERROR: File not found."

Thanks in advance Mandy

As with most mods, there are fees or donations that need to be made in order to remove branding.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there no legal way to remove the branding from this mod?

Hi guys, Last night i managed to break this mod.

I dont know what ive done tbh but now, everytime i click on the "downloads" it reopens to the homepage with cmps but "downloads" in the white bar below navbar.

Last night i added: a tag cloud to cmps, the downloads stats to cmps, a new site navigation to cmps. nothing really major but may have over written a portal or something with the site nav mod.

Ill try disabling cmps and see if its a mod on there thats doing it.

Any help would be appreciative.
