Hey all,
After discovering multiple issues with the Dowloads II importer, we're releasing vBDownloads v2.0.0 Patch Level 1, available immediately for both Pro customers and Lite users running vB3 or vB4.
We had massive help with testing our importer against a real-world Downloads II database. More resilient against errors, more accurate "download already exists" checking, better handling of link-only downloads and better reporting of file & download imports. In short, the importer is now up to 900% more reliable!
Additionally, we've implemented countermeasures against invalid file & download entries caused by people who did not log in to the forum using the "Remember Me" checkbox and left their "add new download" page open for extended period of time so that their authentication cookie expired. This would result in files & downloads showing as Guest uploads, with no way of tracing it back to the actual user in question.
Finally, we've made improvements that should mean that users who have been deleted will no longer see their downloads disappear into the ether. They may be gone, but their downloads will live forever!
If you like the product you can show your support by nominating it for Mod of the Month here: vBDownloads v2 (vB3) - vBulletin.org Forum or here vBDownloads v2 (vB4) - vBulletin.org Forum, and also please rate it if you have the product installed.
vBDownloads v2.1.0 Patch Level 1
(Pro) Change: "Private Users" are now delimited by a semicolon ( ; ) instead of a comma ( , ) as it is possible for usernames to contain commas causing the feature to not work as expected
Change: The Downloads II importer will now print output on the page when importing downloads & files.
Fix: The Downloads II importer will now more reliably import downloads from users that no longer exist
Fix: The Downloads II importer will now deal with link-only downloads better
Fix: The Downloads II importer will no longer print PHP warning messages if the physical source file has been deleted
Fix: Increased reliability of uploads for users who are not logged in with "Remember Me" and upload large files or leave the page for extended periods of time
Fix: Users who have been deleted / imported downloads from missing users should no longer see their downloads disappear from the various areas of vBDownloads
As always, thank you for your continued support!
