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).

Hello,

I installed version 4.2.0 and I don't see 'DOWNLOAD" on the navbar. I réuploadé but still nothing. Since Vbulletin 4.2.0, 'DOWNLOAD" disappeared from the navbar and does not want to reinstall

Could you do an update please?

That SAME thing happened to me. I thought it was because of changing servers, but apparently, it happened to you too. The Downloads tab on the Navbar disappeared, and I tried deleting the mod and re-installing it (don't do that!!). It left me with a mess that Hippy fixed for me.

Until a fix is released follow the instructions here.

yep yep, quite a few mods will require updates for 4.2 because of the new navbar manager.

maybe an option to have to store folder in a dropbox? should be usefull i supose.
Dropbox can use api's and 1 or more dropboxes to upload en download files...

Just use the new navigation manager to create a new tab for it. The module still works well.

Hippy, thank you very much for your post and help.

I go to configured my tabs for downloads, but when I go to add new tab and links for downloads, in my case, not appears the options:

"User is a memeber of"...
"User is NOT a memeber of"...
"Additional Parents".

I think that, for the link for manage files I need configured for appears only a Admins, but, like comment, in my case, not appears this options.

Attach a Image.

Thanks and regards!

Thanks Hippy!

Ok, the little drop windows add link for the sub nav links, I have, but, I add the tab for Downloads and her links, but the link for "Manage Files" I don't know how made, because, in your screen shot appears the option for only some usergroups (using your mod installed) but in my case, if I add this links, appears for all usergroups?

Thanks and regards!!

If you need more screen shot, I attach
