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).

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.

Notes
ecDownloads Buddy is NOT compatible with this version. If you are using the Buddy, you should UNINSTALL it before installing DownloadsII ver 5.x.x. The Buddy's features are now integrated into DownloadsII.
DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.
It should be called .htaccess : htaccess is the extension/file type and there's no file name (nothing before the point). Windows doesn't like creating those files, but you can rename them with your FTP program.
For those of us with an .htaccess file already, where should we put the info? At the very bottom, the very top?
It works fully with vB 3.7 except for the optional user profile template edits (as the memberinfo template was completely revamped in vB 3.7).
Awesome! I just installed it now and am in the process of setting up everything. I am now looking at the settings. So, when you say the user profile template edits are not working, are you referring to the settings "Show Download Stats" and "Show Member Files"?
i installed this mod on my 3.6.9 vbulletin
everything is fine but i can not find the "download" menu in main forum page?
where the user can click and enter to the download section?
thanx
