Major Additions - DownloadsII

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.

It's also coded 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid, just like vBulletin itself.



Instructions & Support

Requires vBulletin 4.0.4 or higher. Not fully compatible with lower vB 4 versions.
It works fine with both the new editor in vB 4.1.4 or higher and the old one in previous vB versions.

Read the instructions in the next two posts before installing/upgrading this mod!

You can find an installation/upgrade manual in the zip package (Readme.txt).

I try to answer most questions asked in this thread. Please don't send any pm's if I don't ask for them. 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 some screenshots of the front-end and back-end (AdminCP part) of the DownloadsII software.

You can find a live demo on my own site: Minatica.be Downloads (Dutch).
Though keep in mind that we are running a restyled and modified version of it.

Changelog (version 6.0.9)

Jelle

• Added support for vB 4.1.8 bit processing with 'each' construct (backwards compatible)
• Fixed comma listing for vB 4.1.8 (using "old" method)

Older changelogs are included in the zip package.

Help!!! I can't upload large files??

This is probably the most asked question. It's mostly caused by some default PHP settings: check "PHP Max Post Size" and "PHP Maximum Upload Size" at your AdminCP home.

Then have a look at this post for the solution to up these values.
Also have a look at this post at vB.com (but ignore the MySQL part as DownloadsII is only using the file system).

Add-ons

There are currently no official add-ons. Unofficial add-ons are listed below.

As you can see, the .pdf extension is on there, to be allowed.

You need to add pdf as an extension, not .pdf
Look at the double dots in the list you post. DownloadsII adds the dot itself, so now it's doubled. Only rft seems to be ok in your list.

On vB3 version it was on the downloads.php page, granted, it was a text link.

I am also lissing the admin links too, IE: Edit, Approve, delete, etc.

Check your (primary) usergroup permissions and be sure you reverted all template modifications after updating DownloadsII.

About the DWNLOADS profile tab in member profile, I want to make it appear all time even the user didn't upload any file.

Which (if condition) should I remove ?

I just double checked and all my "DownloadsII Permissions" in usergroups are all set to yes.

Hello Jelle RS

the MOD is still expanding?
Important I would find that you can upload multiple files to a download.
At 08/07/2010 Bunni U had ever been offered a multiple Uploader contribute. Unfortunately, it was probably not responding. My question to him whether he is with the addon available unfortunately, he has never answered.
I know that you all are doing in your spare time only and that too free of charge, for that I thank you again here explicitly.
My question would be whether you plan to install such a feature, and if so, approximately when. About an answer I would appreciate it.

sorry for my english

[sadiq6210]

Jelle, I have 2 bugs

Have a look


The rating bug is just with RTL lang.

The username in red rectangle should be like the username inside the green rectangle

Also for me a option to upload more files to 1 download.

And if a upload fails i cant change it to a other new upload.
I have to copy/paste txt to a new window.

I apologize for this. What happens if we have 4.0.3? We are currently have Links and Downloads Manager that was created by Andrew, who passed away. We don't want to upgrade vBulletin because there are some reports that the L&D stops working, and we need it working in order to move stuff from it to you. If we install the DownloadsII on 4.0.3. will it work enough for us to start importing over, with the expectation of upgrading to the most current version of vB as soon as the importing is done?
