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.

I was able to update counters finally but I still have the same problem with imports. Please help...

[hugh_]

The problem was not having configured file extensions.

Is there a way of increasing the maximum title lenght?

[Olli2k]

For me DLII stopped working. Must be a 4.1.3/custom style issue. Switching to standard style solves the problem, but that isn't a good solution.

I dont know how to search for the problem, because there is no affected template from DL.

After clicking the save changes button there is no reaction from system. Just the upload graphics icon appears. But thats it. No Upload and no edit possible.

Any hints?

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

My usergroup is already set to -1 for the limit as it's been for years.
Anything else that can possible cause this problem?

does someone know how to change that in Megabytes ?! Bytes are too small,...
1048576 Byte = 1 Megabyte this is horrible,...

Jelle, I know you don't check this often, but I REALLY hope you can help with something. We recently re-organized my file database, and discovered that moving categories and files around can COMPLETELY destroy the file count. Right now the database on my test domain thinks one of its categories has 4,294,967,283 files. Could you implement a recount feature? It would save me a lot of trouble.

Try setting this one to NO
Use strict daily download limits. If set to "No", a user will only receive a download limit reached message if BOTH the MB and file per day limit are reached. If set to "Yes", exceeding either limit will trigger the download limit reached message.
