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).

What error do you get? It's likely that your php maximum or the extension maximum is not set high enough.

Nothing happen.

In normal situation, it recognize the files inside the folder, but in case of this file, it recognize nothing.

I'm getting a 500 - Internal Server Error whenever I try to download a file. Uploading, categorizing and such all went fine.

Anyone have an idea? Running 4.2.0

You'll have to add a new tab and links in the Navigation Manager. These are not automatically added when installing the mod.

Tab:
Downloads
Target URL - downloads.php
Tab Script(s) is downloads2

Links:
Main - downloads.php
Search - downloads.php?do=search
Add - downloads.php?do=add
Manage - downloads.php?do=manfiles

Did you check your php log?

Does anyone have any RewriteRules for the .htaccess file so the URLs will look a bit more friendly? Or won't that work with this mod?
