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).

Hi,

I had this installed once and had it working.

I needed to reinstall it because I had a problem with the downloads.

I cleared off the old files, resaved them and reinstalled it in the plugins section.

Now it will not upload any files, either by import or on a one by one basis.

Please help!!

this is a great mod ..
working 100% with vb4.1.8
check your file permissions and sizes..
if you un-installed it you removed your file extensions allowed

Is there anyway to some how convert this into a store type mod. Like you upload a document, and a member has to pay in order to download it.

Yes, there is. Set up a "Paid Subcription for it". Enable all usergroups to be able to view your downloads area and uploads files, and in ONE usergroup, select it so that they are able to download the files.

That usergroup will then be associated and used in the "Paid Subcriptions" for your downloads section.

Hope that helps,
Welshy2008.

Is it possible to reset all statistics in DownloadsII?

Never mind, this worked for me: UPDATE dl2_main SET `downloads` = 0
