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.

TeknoSounds - when you went to import, how did you list the directory? I have tried everything but it always says there are no files to import. I tried c:\ftp\ or \ftp\ of ftp\ etc with now success.

Those settings are in the usergroup manager

DownloadsII Extra Permissions:

This is the maximum MB that a user can download in one day. Set this to -1 for there to be NO limit

Thank you Sir I see now what happened / explaination . I created a special user group . however i didnt set these setting like on here to -1 like all my other groups and I placed myself in that group so i restricted myself by this setting in this group not being at -1 for no daily limit ..

Pin/Pinned means the same as Stick/Sticked (Sticky) at the forums. It means that a file will be at the top of all listed files in a category.

Is it possible to set who can pin by usergroup permissions? If not can it be added.

Thanks

that all depends on the type of server you're running off of... you'll need the full path to it.

shared server or dedicated box? what OS?

[phinphan]

Dedicated server running Windows server 2008 r2. I tried placing the directory in the wwwroot and in the c:\ directory with no luck.

[TeknoSounds]

Hmm and when you go to the import page and it says:

Directory
Absolute path to the download directory.
The absolute path to this script is xxxxxx
Include a trailing slash.

what does it shows for the absolute path?
c:\wwwroot\yadda\yadda\admincp?
or
\wwwroot\yadda\yadda\admincp\?

For mine its linux, not certain how things would show for windows.
am pretty sure I had it within the web folder vs just a random folder elsewhere.
but that shouldn't have any issue where its located.

[phinphan]

That must be the problem. My menu says:

Absolute path to the download directory.
The absolute path to this script is C
Include a trailing slash.

[TeknoSounds]

so its not saying the location of the path? just labeling it as C with no path? might be it wasn't coded properly for a windows-like directory...
