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).

That's the conclusion I had come too as well. A pity as a more elegant solution should be possible.

I'm using FF 4.0 and have no issue moderating, adding or editing files.

Why is the index file in the downloads folder blank?

I direct my website to /downloads and it just displays a blank page. Everything is uploaded correctly

[squidsk]

Because the /downloads folder is the default location for where the downloads get uploaded to. The reason the index file is blank is so that someone can't do exactly what you're trying to do and point their browser at the downloads directory and get the complete listing of all files that have been uploaded.

To actually access the downloads interface in your forums, either click downloads on your forum index, provided you have that enabled, or point your browser to downloads.php in the same folder as your forums index.php is located in.

Yep, already figured it out lol.

What happens to the files when the upload folder is full?

There's no storage option!

Any ideas on how to make this profitable?
