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).

Forgot to add that I tried:

But got the following error message:

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

Any other ideas please?

We just recently added this to our site, as Links and Downloads is no longer being worked on due to Andrew passing away. After reviewing the download log, I am seeing folks downloading things that they do not have permission to download. We have a subscription base, where a person has to purchase to gain access to, and some how some members have found a back door into these download areas and are downloading thousands of files. Has anyone else seen this with their downloads?

Looks like the developers website is running 4.1.8... http://www.minatica.be/downloads.php

But I'm confused as to if he is still supporting this mod. Anyone know??

4.1.8 Works Fine.

I dont thing that this mod its supported (i post many times without any responce).

"Since upgrading from 4.1.5 to 4.1.7 PL 2, some members have reported that are prevented from being able to download, and they see a vBulletin message:

Sorry! You have exceeded your daily allowed download amount

I have the following settings in my AdminCP:

This is the maximum MB that a user can upload. Set this to -1 for there to be NO limit.

-1

This is the maximum MB that a user can download in one day. Set this to -1 for there to be NO limit. -1

This is the maximum number of files that a user can download in one day. Set this to -1 for there to be NO limit. -1

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. Yes



Any ideas as to what is going on and how I can overcome this please? "

I have the same problem, too

[sadiq6210]

Maybe he is busy, but I believe that this mod is still supported by Jelle.
