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

mame, its very easy to install this mods. Doesnt required to be a coder to get this mods working. You should give it a try

[se_p800]

Whenever I try to add an image it says:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

Also the number of files in one of my categories randomly changed to a ridiculous number. Any ideas?

[SALIMUS]

For me no error and working as a charme .
already user's familarise with this great hack .
only need now to block acces for some user's in same group .
wbr

[samsons]

I think this Add-on is dead like Elvis
no answer from Jelle, not even a tip when the next version comes out, that`s frustrating

I'm thinking of paying a developer to fix and upgrade this mod (with a couple new features). What would I have to do to get permission to upload it here for everyone else to enjoy?

I think you should wait with that:/ i was thinking the same aswell but rsjelle will release a new version end of this month. So lets cross fingers that he include some most wanted features like rss and download manager support

heres my pm with Rsjelle

For the first issue: I don't know a solution for it immediately, but they current download method with file copy isn't great. Version 6 will have a new, better method (vB attachment way).
------------------------------------------
It's just a new method, so old files will work with it. Normally it will support pausing/resuming downloads in a download manager.

I just hope rsjelle comes in here and tell us his current update with his v.6

love to see rss support for this lovely mods

[maidos]

also i dont think you can allow other coders to alter this mods without rsjelle and cyberangers permission. would be copyright violation.

It's my understanding you can edit the mods all you want, you just can't make them available for download without their permission.
