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).

Thanks Hippy. I'd appreciate that.

Also when I add "downloads.php?do=manfiles&act=updatecounters" at the end of my forum URL in the address bar at the top - I get the following:

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

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error..

Actually, The only way that I could do the Update Counters was to go to: http://www.YourForumURL.com/downloads.php?do=manfiles then click on the "Update Counters" on the top right.

But it is the other issue that I need to sort out.

[Welshy2008]

Ah ha, With regard to the "eceeded daily limit on downloads" I have sorted it. It was a new usergroup set up by one of my Admins, and that Admin added my to it. The permissions for that group aren't set up correctly yet as it is still in testing stage.

This is with NO downloads limit. I would however, like to get it back to 60 seconds delay between each download.

Would like to sort the Alignment issue of the rating out though.

Did anybody upgrade to 4.2? Is it working perfect?

[stationar]

4.2: Functionality didn't change. But it disappeared from the navigation panel. Anybody knows how to add it back to navigation panel?
