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

I hate deadlines , but I hope to make it within this and three weeks. This week I'm on a holiday school trip to Italy (starting this evening until Tuesday next week). Starting next week, we've got two weeks of holiday, so I'm trying to get it finished then (or at least a stable beta without some time intensive features to code).

I attached two screenshots, one of the new categories admin and one of the updated downloads log.
The new categories admin should be easier to use (the current one is a bit strange). For the downloads log I replaced the automatic log pruner with a vBulletin like prune system. There are also some other small enhancements: time display (in the past there only was the date), ip display (with a link to the vBulletin ip search feature, so you can view the hostname immediately) and the username link changed to the user admin instead of member.php now.

Looking good. Can't wait for the release.

yeah that would be nice too but what im talking about is move that table from the side to the top like it was when ronin had it. with all them on top of each page (above downloads navbar like the old one) or a option to have them on side.

That looks very well organized, Jelle.

If the new version uses phrases for everything we all would be happy

[Jay...]

i have a suggestion, is there anyway to add an upload/download ratio into the postbit? that would be superb if possible

[Hornstar]

cool ill hold you to it then lol...good luck with the release, i hope everything goes smooth for you over the next 3 weeks and no hard feelings if you cant get it out by then.

Hello..

Requesting for an Intergration with Points system:

Intigrate with Nexia's POINTS system

so that user have to pay for each download


--------------
And an ACP option:
- total how many MB/GB serverd for particular time ?

Thanx

[Daky]

so if click for example on http://www.xxx.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=14880 page from `Newest files` I cant actually see where is that file from, from what category.....

[MrD]
