The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

I'm thinking of starting a new community web site. I plan on using vB for the forums and user management, but I'd also like to include a files section where members can download files. NOTE: This will not be a warez site.

Since I'm a huge fan of Deviant Art [link], some of what I'm thinking of doing would be similar in nature. Basically, a central repository of files, broken down by category, with the ability to rate the file, etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations for the download manager? Has anyone written a hack that ties the two together? I know that vB can be used for downloads, but it doesn't work quite the way I want it to.

If anyone has any recommendations, I'm all ears. :bunny:

i am looking for something along these lines as well.. i have a vBportal front end, and would like to add user submitted downloads.. where the users actually have the ability to upload files.. and then a moderator/admin then goes and accepts or denies the submitted download..

i have also posted in the phpportals.com forums looking for this same thing, as well.. if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!!

Glad to see that I'm not alone.

Hmm.. what will they be downloading?

For my purposes, the new community site I'm creating is for video content formatted for Palm OS devices. So, they would be downloading .pdb files for their device.

Simpson files, Palm ads, that sort of thing.

for my site, it will be files relating to Unreal Tournament 2003.. user made mutators and maps and such directly relating to a specific game type..

Mashby,

Have a look at http://www.virtuanews.co.uk/ ... a news/CMS system that can use the vb user tables and has a files download module (modules are free).

Cheers,

~Regs.

Thanks for the link!

I'm taking a look at the site now, but is there any module that integrates this into vB?

13th_Disciple · #9 01-24-2003, 07:50 AM

not to mention they want $100 to use their system.. seems a bit pricey with the availability of many other free CMS's..

guess this is a no go for now.. but sure would be handy!!

I took a deeper look and this system DOES integrate with vBulletin. Overall it's not too bad. This is the closest thing I've seen thus far that gives me what I'm looking for.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
