It is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It allows you to upload files, create folders, link to external files - and more. It is very flexible and has many options. Sorry, no screenshots. Maybe if someone is nice they will provide a link to the latest version of ecDownloads for everyone to view it.
Changes in 3.2
- Too many to list... its a whole new world
Known Bugs:
- Missing phrase in add file (on nav bar)
- No file protection, add it here if you want: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=174
- Missing phrases (ecdownloads_can_edit_all and ecdownloads_can_view_disabled) in admincp
Install
Make the file edits in ecDownloads.txt
Upload the contents of 'upload' to your forum directory
Run the downloadinstaller.php file in the admincp (install/rebuild styles and phrases)
Create a directory called 'downloads' (or whatever you put in your settings) and make it writeable and executable
Lots of people's installers have problems and such, but the installer I am making will be - flawless.
I attached an image of part of the MySQL installer/manager for vBDownloads 3.0. Templates, phrases, hooks, and files also have similar installers.
So what are you looking at in that image? It is a display of the mysql tables and columns. Rows that should be there but have an inproper format are yellow, rows that should not be there are red, and rows that need to be added are green. In order to change a row, you click on it - and it is done!
I think this will help cut down on some errors with upgrading etc because everything to instal can be done in one step (or two). Just run the installer from the admincp and the rest of the work is done for you. If you have errors, you can easily solve them in a graphic environment rather than figuring out how to modify the mysql tables/templates/phrases on your own.
Though the hack is done, im having a lot of fun making the installer and I dont wanna release an update without the installer.
Ron1n : Do you have posted a feature list of vbdownloads 3.0 ? I don't completly look all the full thread (too much pages , but as far as I search, I didn't find anything.
By the way, I hope you will support vb tags to insert pictures in the comments (impossible in the vBdownloads 2.0, it prints the code itself...)
this has been brought up several times... there is no fix for that this version. I should be done with the version for 3.5 within 1 week. Then someone can get it working again on 3.0.x

great! .... looking forward to version 3.5 .... cant wait!
Everything seemed to be installed okay, because I am not getting any errors..
One question...
1. How do I add it to my nav bar? There doesnt seem to be any instructions..

yea, I dont add instructions for the nav bar. just open up another hack you have used to add a link to the nav bar and then copy that code but change the filename. its just a simple template edit, but since everyone's skin is different... i just let ppl do it themselves.
Here is another screenshot of the installer for 3.0
