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.

If you do that, you likely will see your site and forum wiped out the next day.

yeah that is very true. RS_Jelle i fixed it as it was my fault. also was wondering is there anyway to have it where when you limit files to say donators only it wont display to everyone just the donators. I have it setup where only donators can download large files but when you add the file they still show on the on the Latest Files. I changed the phrase for now so it reads only donators can download these files but it would be easier if they didnt even show up to member groups that aint allowed to download them.

Ok i see your point :P

When i try to upload files that arnt really very large 5mb ish it just says the upload has failed. Is there some sort of time out?

[Intex]

Thanks for the quick reply RS_Jelle. I didn't think it was that easy - I spent over an hour trying to piece it together .

How do you remove the 'Important Information' column as well as that's still interfering with the style.

But you can remove the left panel on that page only:

Open downloads.php
Find

PHP Code:

    eval('$dmain_jr = "' . fetch_template('downloads_file') . '";');
    eval('$dpanel = "' . fetch_template('downloads_panel_side') . '";');
    eval('$dmain = "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_side') . '";');
}
else if ($_GET['do'] == 'assignuser') 


Replace with

PHP Code:

    eval('$dmain_jr = "' . fetch_template('downloads_file') . '";');
    eval('$dmain .= "' . fetch_template('downloads_wrapper_none') . '";');
}
else if ($_GET['do'] == 'assignuser')

It will be great to have an option to sticky some of the files we think should be apart from the others.

Just a suggestion

Installed and looks great

[HappyPike]

There is already a sticky file feature. It's called "Pin".

That's a standard limit of PHP. You (or your host) can edit it in the php.ini

AdminCP -> Downloads -> Settings -> Site Message or Disclaimer
Just remove everything in that field

No, there are no category based permissions at this moment. But you can list the allowed or not allowed categories for each usergroup. Not the most interesting way, but it's working (temporary).

Where do i find the file, and what do i change.

Thanks
