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).

wow what a great hack

marked as installed

but it doesn't have an option for password

for example i wanna upload a file and i wanna protect it with a password

because it should be available to who has the password

i think it's a great idea to add this option "Protected Attachments"

GREAT!!! I love it awesome mods

[rexxxy]

couple questions

1- How would you change the title when you adding a file change the name from author to something thing like label/producer

2- How would expand the right side with Latest Files and make it a little larger and make the left side with the listing a little smaller

3- If I wanted to separate the Latest Files and the Most Popular Files how would i do that

Hi

I am getting "error 500" only with files that were uploaded. Users can upload without issues but when anyone clicks the download link it's "Internal Server Error 500"

External files that are only linked are fine.

downloads folder is chmodded 777

Any ideas?

using VB 4.1.5 PL1

It seems this mod is not for some asian language.
I mean if your file title is asian language, you may upload, but you are not able to download that file, because file title masses.

I'll start here with a question: How can I make it so that guest users can download files, but it doesn't generate a download link that can be directly linked to? I'm worried about bandwidth leeching.

Hello: I have installed vbulletin Downloads in Version 4.1.5 and it works well but I have no problem with the files do not charge anything. Can anyone help me please?

Great addon, used it for years now. However over the past few months my users have been complaining about the Invalid Security Token message.

When a user is logged in the download link still looks like /downloads.php?do=file&id=5181&act=down&actionhash= guest for some users which prevents them from downloading the file.

Any idea what's causing this and how it can be fixed?

[Hippy]

did you Change the permissions of the downloads directory (inside your forums directory) to make
it writable (chmod 777).

I how there was something posted here about it..
or maybe even disabling something ..in the admincp.

might of been domain / url verification
