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.

Go to the navigation manager in admincp and a new entry that points to the relevant page.

Every so often I get into the Downloads section, sometimes to see whether we have something that someone asked about or to answer someones question if I'm not certain I remember the answer precisely. But sometimes to edit titles for consistency or organize (sort) files added since the last time I did it. The latter of these tasks usually involves me opening a bunch of files in a row to check scan quality and find out what the file really is. If there are say 10 files, it may take 15 or 20 minutes instead of 3 if there were no restriction or 10+ if there were a timer displayed. So doing what I can do on several Yahoo Groups in three or four minutes may end up taking me 20. Is there any way to change this?

Also, if I replace a poorly done, incomplete, etc. file with a better one, which I have often done, I get no credit for it in the counters because the only way to do this without leaving the old file taking up space on the server is to do an add and a delete. Which the upload counter treats as zero. And also I don't particularly like it when I get debited for a download every time I investigate a file. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks very much in advance!
