You can control that through usergroup settings. You would need to have people with zero post as normal registered users. Then, when they make a post (or have x number of posts) have vb automatically move them to a new usergroup that can download files.

I don't get it fully. There's already the "Display "Tops" on all pages?" option in the settings?

You just guessed correct another feature, the AdminCP part will the fully phrased too now :D

Have a look at this post or the readme file included in the package, this is already possible :)
You need to do the postbit template changes for it and enable the option in the DownloadsII settings.

That's something for after the v6 release. We are recoding everything now, so creating the plugin now is a bit stupid because we need to remake it immediately after the release then. Please request it again after the release, then we will take a look at it and possibly make it. There are normally enough hook locations in the code to do this without code changes.

So you mean displaying the category name in the left (or top) stats window? That's a bit difficult because it's too small for this, and putting it on a new line makes thing cluttered (too much information in a too small space).

What's the PHP upload limit for files? You can check it on the main page of the AdminCP. Do other (smaller) uploads work?
Also try Extra -> Internet Options -> Advanced (tab) in Internet Explorer and enable the "Disable error tracing in scripts" option (normally it's standard enabled). I'm using a dutch Internet Explorer version, so I don't know what the german terms are for this and also the English ones are a complete guess, but the option should be there.

Is there a way to have this work with the "mini stats" module for vbportal? I want the uploaded files to show up in the mini stats.

No, that's not possible at this moment (we only have a vBadvanced CMPS module). vbPortal is paid software and we don't have a license for it, so we can't test with it or create modules for it.

I suggest you to contact someone of vbPortal and ask if they want to code it for you. Normally it's very easy to do, it's just modifying the vBadvanced CMPS module to the vbPortal format.

isnt it possible to add comments to downloads?
that would be great

Yes, that's already possible, just have a look at your DownloadsII settings and the usergroup permissions ;)

in the settings i havn't found anything
i've just found https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=130995 and installed

oh
sorry
your right, theres a option

thx for great script

i like it very
what would be very great:

vote function with ajax=> like in threads, no reload & faster

Does this hack work with usergroup permission and who is allowed to upload and or view the files uploaded?

Yes, it does. :)
