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

I'm sorry, but that's not possible at the moment.

That's because there's no chmod for it at the moment and your server has a pretty strict umask (auto permissions given by the server).

While my main focus is on version 6, I thought it was time to get out a small update on the 5.0 branch. It includes two minor bug fixes and removes one (unnecessary) query on all DownloadsII pages.

DownloadsII 5.0.7 Changelog

CyberRanger

• Added extra 666 chmod for uploading images

Jelle

• Fixed an uncached template when using the vBulletin basic editor
• Removed one (unnecessary) query on all DownloadsII pages and tweaked count queries

Thanks for the update Jelle.

Thanks for the update. :up:

It should work with all styles normally, as it's fully templated. What's the problem?

Nothing as of yet. I'm going to pick up a skin for my forums (looong awaited) and I wanted to check if there would be any reason why DowloadsII and the skin wouldn't jive together.

Hi,

I can't seem to figure out how to move a file to a different category once it's been uploaded...

Am I just blind or something? Does this not exist?

[MiahBeSmokin420]

Still waiting for the vBCredits integration

one day someone will make that happen

[mark|3]

Just a suggestion, it will be great if there's an error in download. The system will allow the user to download another file immediately rather than the timewait to be over before they can download again?
