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).

this is the stock code from 6.0.8

PHP Code:

                $show['errors'] = true;
                foreach ($errors['message'] AS $errormessage)
                {
                    $templater = vB_Template::create('newpost_errormessage');

                    $errorlist .= $templater->render();
                }
            }
        }

TnT that can't be correct. The variable $errormessage is defined in the foreach part.

maybe:

                    $templater = vB_Template::create('newpost_errormessage');
                    $templater->register('errormessage', $errors['message']);
                    $errorlist .= $templater->render();

?

[TnT]

still writing rubbish...

[TnT]

ok, complete confusing

my code in Post 1567 is correct. But you have this 2 times in your code.

When you don't get any file endings in your error message it could be because you don't configured them in your Downloads II settings.

Hope this helps.

Then it redirects them to downloads.php where they see no files at all. I've checked the permissions and everything looks good. One of our members has two different secondary groups that allow them access to the same download categories, not sure if there is a conflict there.

It is working because as administrator I can see the downloads and it does not tell me Invalid File ID. Thanks for your assistance.

I have exactly the same invalid file ID error. Seems to be purely random for users. Sometimes they experience it and after a few attempts it all of a sudden works.

Did you find a solution for this as this becomes really annoying

[IamSocom]

The following errors occurred when this file was submitted:

I get this when trying to upload a 221k picture

[Light Peak]

It seems like I'm getting the error of

Error! The upload failed (error type 1).

I've tried setting

upload_max_filesize = 10G

I'm tring to upload a appx 4GB of file.

So, I have a gallery installed, and if you visit the gallery, you can't access the downloads from there. The link is built under the gallery path and not the forum path.

http://www.site.com/gallery/downloads.php

How can I fix this little issue? Thanks

EDIT

I found it, in the downloads2_navbar_link add {vb:raw vboptions.homeurl} before each downloads.php

Like this:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'downloads2'">
<li class="selected">
	<a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}downloads.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase downloads2}</a>
	<ul class="floatcontainer">
		<li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}downloads.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase dl2_main}</a></li>
		<vb:if condition="$show['dlsearch']">
			<li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=search">{vb:rawphrase dl2_search_downloads}</a></li>
		</vb:if>
		<vb:if condition="$show['addnewfile']">
			<li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=add">{vb:rawphrase dl2_add_file}</a></li>
		</vb:if>
		<vb:if condition="$show['manfiles']">
			<li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=manfiles">{vb:rawphrase dl2_manage_files}</a></li>
		</vb:if>
	</ul>
</li>
<vb:else />
	<li><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}downloads.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase downloads2}</a></li>
</vb:if>
