For answers 1 and 2: I like that you can put whatever you want in the Author field but the Uploaded by has to be a member and you can't just fill in whatever you like. And it's the name @ Uploaded by which gets the download shown on his profile. So for example if I upload vBulletin, I put Jelsoft as the author but since Jelsoft isn't a member, vBulletin will be shown on my profile looking like I'm the author of it and not Jelsoft. I would like to see that the downloads gets added to the profile of the Author's name and if that name isn't a member, don't put it on any profile.

For answer 3: Many thanks, sorry for not noticing that it was already requested multiple times.

For answer 4: I'm having a lot of sub-categories indeed. I have tons of categories and like I said, lotsa downloads. I have to try and make it look a bit organized. For example, when you want to download some logos you'll have to go to:
Football Manager 2008 ? Graphics ? Stickerbook V2 ? League Packs ? Europe

I can't show all categories on the main page coz that will make it look really messy. But I also can't make them all show on the Graphics page coz we are still talking about tens of categories. I would like to have them shown on the Stickerbook V2 in this example. Can't you add an option when editing/adding a category that you can show all sub-categories on the page of that category.

Hi Jelle,
of course i have problem with this!!! The uploaded pictures (chmod 600) are not seenable!
Browser error:
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/downloads/kaisa_3oL.jpg on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

After i changed it to chmod 666, the picture can everbody see.
I don't know find any configuration in the admincp for that.
maybe i have to fix any .php file?

thank you 4 ur support

Quick question.

I'd like to say users have 1gig of storage but the individual files upload must be less than or equal to 20mb. Can this be done?

Thanks,
Josh

Change the directory name of the downloads folder, but it must stay inside the forums folder! DownloadsII doesn't support download directories placed outside the vBulletin forums folder at the moment. Also keep the 777 permissions chmod.
Then just change the Download URL of the DownloadsII settings to match the new name, but keep its's structure (./downloads/ -> the point and slashes are necessary in that way, like it's default).

Are you on a shared host or a dedicated server? It's pretty strange as you are the first one having these problems with it. I'm only having it with that chmods as default and I don't get a forbidden error. Maybe you have a pretty strict Apache configuration?

The 1GB of storage can be set using the usergroup permissions. The 20MB per file can be accomplished by limiting it with a .htaccess file in the forums directory to limit the PHP maximum upload value.

I would like to know whether vBSEO will change the URL's of the categories and downloads ?
For example - http://www.domain.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=320 or http://www.domain.com/downloads/file-name/

I've heard that there's a thread at the vBSEO forums with rewrite rules for vBSEO to rewrite the DownloadsII url's (but I don't use vBSEO myself) :)

What error will that report to the user? Will they understand it?

No, with the PHP setting the upload will just time-out (blank screen). But you can edit the downloads_file_addit template to set a warning for your members.

i am trying to install the file but somehow i am having problems installing this and achieving the correct end result.

In my admincp >
i see downloads
Setting
Categories
Import
Downloads.

But in my forum i do see the link download or have any function to allow downloads.

I am using vb 3.6.8 and have only downloaded the DownloadsII 5.0.6.zip file. Do i need to download the addons to make it work properly?

Thanks
