Major Additions - DownloadsII

There's a vB4 version of this mod available: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231427

DownloadsII

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.

Addons

• DownloadsII ver 5.0 vbAdvanced Add-On
• DownloadsII PM moderation notification
• DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On
• DownloadsII Simple RSS Feed Add-On
• DownloadsII[Add-On] - Upload Rules

1.) You can do that by uploading the files and after that, linking to them when adding them with Downloads II. However... you have to put in the correct link and the correct filesizes yourself manually. There is no other way.

2.) For your 2nd question I'm not sure. Is the name CoDWaW-1.2.-1.3-PatchSetup or CoDWaW-1.2.-1.3-PatchSetup.exe? In the first case the extension is too long I guess.
It is possible to use longer filenames, but I think there will be a limit to the length.

[THE__DRIFTER]

1.) Link how?

2.) Yes CoDWaW-1.2.-1.3-PatchSetup.exe

I assume a file name length issue.

Hello! have some questions about this mod.

Is it possible toset a limit per usergroup? I mean that certain groups can download files than others in a daily basis.

Is it possible to add a screenshot, specially if the files are wallpapers?

Is it possible to add multiple files for different wallpapers sizes?

And, how are files organized? Can i organize them by categories and subcategories? Each one with a different folder or subfolder inside a downloads roon folder.

This might be the biggest doubts I have at the moment, thanks.

No one? Anyone?

I've cleared the cache in my browsers. I get the same error whether it's IE or FF. I do have GARS on the site but I'm not quite clear if GARS is the problem and/or what I need to do to fix it.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, hope someone or the Author can help I have been using this fine for some months now and not one single problem small files and large files, however over the last few days my members are having problems downloading the large files, it seems it will pause for anything upto four minutes after they press the download button. After the wait it goes through the normal routine and starts downloading.

As i said smaller files are fine but the large ones that once downlaoded fine are taking ages to get the save as windows box, any ideas please?
Note i'm running 3.7 vb patch 1 and the 5.0.8 downloads II

Hello,

Can someone a little smarter than me help troubleshoot what's needed to get large files to upload without a security token error?

Reasonable size files ~ 10MB have no problem.

When a 30MB file is tried the vB security token error appears.

This stinks of a php limit but I can't figure out which one.

Uploads on, file sizes are set to 50MB, and memory size to 128MB.

Any thoughts on why large files are a problem?

Any other values you would recommend increasing from a php.ini file?

[Redzzand]

great mod, but i also have this issue. I found a work-around, by importing files, but i could really use a fix for the security token issue with files over 10MB.

I dont have access to the webserver's php.ini file and have added my own to the root of my forum, but still cannot upload big files.

any help would be much appreciated.
