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.
As I said, the avatar.jpg image is nowhere in the DownloadsII code, unless you edited it yourself. Check the ecdownloads_download_pic phrase which contains the image name.
Hello.
Ok.
I chek the ecdownloads_download_pic phrase and contain "avatar.jpg" but I don't edited this phrase never. I think that, I was installed a translation and I think this translation is the cause of this problem. Now, I changed this phrase for original image name, thank yoy very much
In other, the credits not appears, I think the problem its the same, a translation I was installed, it's possible restore the credits?
The storage and download part is the last unfinished thing of v6. I was basing it on the attachment system, but with vB 4 coming soon, I stopped working on it. vB 4 will have the new asset manager, so I'm going to look how integration with that goes.
I also hope they are going to fix the lightbox integration
Dear RS Jelle,
tkx....
but attachment system// vb will always use same host to store attachment

You can only install it once
But there are usergroup permissions to exclude/include categories:
Quote:
Exclude Categories: When set to "Yes", only the categories listed below can be viewed by this group. When set to "No", all categories can be viewed except the ones listed below.
To permit this usergroup to view all categories, leave this entry BLANK. Otherwise, enter the categories to include or exclude (depending on the setting above) separated by commas. For example: 1,2,4,6
