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).

This is an excellent mod thanks very much for providing it.

There may be a small bug. I just uploaded 10 files and changed the author name to the original poster however the widget is reporting that I am the uploaded. Perhaps the Author should get the credit.

Also one suggestion. It would be great to have the thread prefix system working with this.

Thanks again

Author ≠ Uploader
As sometimes the author isn't someone from your community.

When you edit a file, you can change the uploader too.

Cool, thanks for pointing that out.

Worked as stated in the install instructions. I love this mod and thank you for its creation! I upgraded from 5.1.1 and am very happy with the clear and concise instructions for upgrade. Amazing how so few mods are as thorough.

Any idea why this is happening? The mod was working fine for a few days. Now User Level has disappeared and this is showing up. I haven't added any new products to make it do this.

Hmm, that's strange, but I guess it's caused by another modification. You can't get the DownloadsII user information in a loop with normal usage, cause there is no loop.

I need site access for this as your forums are hided (and probably a list of other installed mods).
