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).

Hippy, go you know much about this mod and the DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On [vB4]?

I want to take out this Mod and the Create Thread addon, but it just throws data base errors every time i un-install the xml files from the Admin CP all over my Forum.

[Hippy]

you need to remove all files associated with these 2 mods

[Hippy]

I've tried that,but if I prefer a direct method. btw, thanks for your reply.

I strongly need to have a possibility to change the position of a file on the screen (to move it up or down). When I import a large group of files, they are imported not in such order that I need, and I can’t change its positions as I need.
Can the author make such a change to this mod?

For some time now it's been that when my users go to download a file they have to wait for it to complete to carry on browsing or download another file which isn't ideal. Is this something to do with this mod or a limitation in php? This didn't used to be the case as far as I recall...
