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).

Add-ons

There are currently no official add-ons. Unofficial add-ons are listed below.

Thanks. This makes it impossible for me. It would make a neat feature if it's included as one of the options.

This mod is working, but the menu/navbar items superimpose over the main forum navbar.

Any suggested fix?

Thanks,

It seems that when the Downloads Tab is activated, it also activates the Forum Tab and navbar menu.

Say I have a youtube video posted into a download description with

it will appear in the actual description as just:

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

Bumping this old post up. When using video tags, youtube videos won't be embedded into the downloads box. I've also noticed that the insert image prompt is missing the From Computer tab, along with the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" checkbox item on the From URl tab. Please see attached pictures.

See this post for the video issue. You need to add two lines into downloads.php.

Working with 4.2.0?

[Faol]

I installed this version on a fresh v4.2 install a couple of months ago. I had v3.8 before. I installed the latest version and finally got enough time to import the old files.

The problem is that I am getting my Supporters to help organize (edit) the files and they cannot download files, to look at them and get the info to edit. They get the error "Sorry! You have exceeded your daily download limit."

There are NO LIMITS set. Everything is -1 for them, just like SuperMods and Admins. Admins and SuperMods have no problem, with the same settings. Can anyone tell me what is going on?

[Faol]

I found the problem. The primary registration group has to have the options active too. So much for another group being able to override the primary, like the rest of vBulletin has.
