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).

Author is nothing to do with the uploader. That is totally seperate.
Author is for the author of whatever you have uploaded, ie ebook etc.

Sorry!

Does anybody know how to change the colour of the text showing on the Download button?
I've noticed that when using styles generated using the vB Style Generator that the Download button text is unreadable until you mouse hover over the button.
Thanks in advance

open up your downloads2_file template
and find and remove this code below

<tr>
				<td class="dl2name"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/users_online.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase dl2_author}" /> {vb:rawphrase dl2_author}</td>
				<td>{vb:raw _author}</td>
			</tr>

I recently upgraded from vbulletin 3.8.7 to 4.1.3 and everything including this mod seemed to be working ok until I went to try to upload new files today and received the empty form in the screenshot below. Also looking back, I remember an error message while doing the mod upgrade stating my security token had expired when I tried to update counters...

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid."

Any thoughts on what might be wrong? The downloads themselves are working fine...

Thanks!
