Major Additions - DownloadsII

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.

It's also coded 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid, just like vBulletin itself.



Instructions & Support

Requires vBulletin 4.0.4 or higher. Not fully compatible with lower vB 4 versions.
It works fine with both the new editor in vB 4.1.4 or higher and the old one in previous vB versions.

Read the instructions in the next two posts before installing/upgrading this mod!

You can find an installation/upgrade manual in the zip package (Readme.txt).

I try to answer most questions asked in this thread. Please don't send any pm's if I don't ask for them. 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 some screenshots of the front-end and back-end (AdminCP part) of the DownloadsII software.

You can find a live demo on my own site: Minatica.be Downloads (Dutch).
Though keep in mind that we are running a restyled and modified version of it.

Changelog (version 6.0.9)

Jelle

• Added support for vB 4.1.8 bit processing with 'each' construct (backwards compatible)
• Fixed comma listing for vB 4.1.8 (using "old" method)

Older changelogs are included in the zip package.

Help!!! I can't upload large files??

This is probably the most asked question. It's mostly caused by some default PHP settings: check "PHP Max Post Size" and "PHP Maximum Upload Size" at your AdminCP home.

Then have a look at this post for the solution to up these values.
Also have a look at this post at vB.com (but ignore the MySQL part as DownloadsII is only using the file system).

Add-ons

There are currently no official add-ons. Unofficial add-ons are listed below.

I manually added my files and used this to get my filesizes to update the last time using this. However, I cannot get to this page - as this link is not being provided anywhere - even though I have it checked off in DownloadsII's settings.

Can you provide a direct link to the 'Manage Files' please ?

Nevermind about the link... (downloads.php?do=manfiles&act=updatecounters). However, this is not updating the file sizes. Thanks for any help.

My workaround is to redirect the logged in member to the download page for this file where he can start a new download of the file:

find in downloads.php around line 485:

PHP Code:

eval(standard_error(fetch_error('security_token_invalid', $vbulletin->options['contactuslink']))); 


replace with:

PHP Code:

                if ($permissions['downloads2permissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['downloads2permissions']['candownloadfiles'])
               {
                   exec_header_redirect("downloads.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=file&id=" . $file[id]);
               }
               else
               {
                    eval(standard_error(fetch_error('security_token_invalid', $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
                } 


@Jelle: Pleas add this to your repository, thanks

Thank you thank you very much.

This solved the issue

But a question:
The first line that I search for replace (around line 485) I view that appears in more lines, only need replace the line around 485?

Regards!

I haven't had this problem before. I don't know if it's related to v4.1.10.

Warning: require_once([path]/includes/functions_wysiwyg.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/downloads.php on line 1370

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/username/public_html/includes/functions_wysiwyg.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/username/public_html/downloads.php on line 1370

FIXED: Evidently the file was removed from 4.1.4. I uploaded a copy from 4.1.3.
I can't believe I'm the only one who experienced this unless there is a fix I haven't read.
