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).
Add-ons
There are currently no official add-ons. Unofficial add-ons are listed below.
Also, seeing this error when trying to import files.
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/admincp/downloads2.php on line 785
I'm not a coder, so I have no idea what this means or how to correct it, but line 785 of /admincp/downloads2.php shows the following:
foreach ($_POST['import'] AS $file => $null)
What that means is that what is in $_POST['import'] is not an array so you cannot apply a foreach to it. In order to eliminate the warning, which actually has no impact on anything, is to check if $_POST['import'] is actually an array, by wrapping the foreach in an if statement that checks if the variable is an array.
E.G.
PHP Code:
if(is_array($_POST['import'])) { foreach ($_POST['import'] AS $file => $null){ //content of the foreach loop is here and unchanged } }
Does this happen for all imports or only some of them? If all imports then it might be a bug in the code. If some, then it might be that parameters are not being passed correctly when the import button is clicked.

Thanks for this, but I figured it out... For somereason my screen wasn't showing the select box located at the end of each of the imported files. You must select what files from the import list you want to import. Since I wasn't seeing the check boxes I wasn't selecting one. Once I was able to see the boxes and select one the error went away.
One more suggestion for this would be a Moderator CP module so mods can maintain the sections/categories.
As long as you have appropriate bbcode on your forums it should work automatically. I've tried in on my 4.1.10 install and [youtube]XXX[/youtube] displays a youtube video just fine.

Really? The Ckeditor uses VIDEO tags because really there's more than just youtube that it deals with.
Say I have a youtube video posted into a download description with
Code:
[VIDEO]http://youtu.be/sh9Vt-pcgrE?hd=1[/VIDEO]
it will appear in the actual description as just:
Code:
http://youtu.be/sh9Vt-pcgrE?hd=1
However, when the downloads post addon grabs the description and makes a thread it will see the video tags and correctly embed the video as intended.
Which makes me think Downloads II is missing something
Hi, for some reason when I login as "Guest" I cannot see the new file when member upload. I was able to see when I login. I checked under User Group Permission for Un-Register User "Can View Files" set to YES.
Why do I get a data base error on my main Forum page after un-installing this xml?

Anyone else had this problem and how did you un-install this product?
