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).

I have a problem or doubt:
In admincp/DownloadsII, the option of Import, I don't find the phrases for translate.

Thanks and regards!

Go to language phrases and there is the DownloadsII group to translate.

Hi,

Can someone help me to find where to insert code for output at the top of the main page of DLII as shown in the attached picture. I only need some simple text output.

An alternative would be to move the content defined in ACP / DownloadsII / Settings / Downloads Message/Disclaimer, from the sidebar to that location.

Thanks

open up downloads2_wrapper_side template

and find

<div id="content">

and just under it add

<ol>
<li class="blockbody">
	Show Content here<br />Replace this with what ever you like.:D
</li>
</ol>

replace this text (Show Content here<br />Replace this with what ever you like.
) with what you want

hope this helps .
I'm sure there are other ways to do this but this one is quick and easy

[janaf]

Thanks Hippy

Moving this block (same file):

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['dl2disclaimer']">
    <li>
        <div class="block smaller">
            <blockquote class="restore">
                {vb:raw vboptions.dl2disclaimer}
            </blockquote>
        </div>
    </li>
</vb:if> 


from the default location to where you indicate, or perhaps better under the cutom title? moves the message from the sidebar to the top of the page, and one can edit it in the ACP. Just what I wanted.
