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.

• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

hi is there a way to hide the download link. for instance when the user is downloading the file, the user can still view the location of the files at the download status bar?

Any way to mask this? thanks

Is there a way to get rid of the Author field on both the input and presentation pages? The way I plan to use this MOD in my forums will have the author and person uploading the files as the same person, so I do not need the Author field. For my application it confuses my users.

How do I remove the Author input field so it doesn't show in the input form and change the text to show Submitted By on the presentation page?

Lastly, is there a way to allow for multiple attachments on the same item. For example, I plan to use this MOD to allow my members to contribute GPS files. There are several formats for GPS files, so many of my members submit a file in one format, while the next member will convert the file to another format and contribute it to my site. This produces multiple files for the same area but in different file formats. I would like the ability to have a topic in the Downloads that has several files (not images) attached to it and allow those to be submitted by different members. Is that possible with this MOD? With some minor changes to the MOD is it possible?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can offer.

[stwilson]

I was thinking and a suggestion to add to this great mod would be the ability to add custom fields to the input/presentation forms. That change would really open up this MOD to be used for many "other" applications.

Hi authors,
