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).

Another question if anyone knows how bulk upload files/Import files
I have 50 files i want to add these to my collection of downloads in bulk,
I can upload them all to there server but to where I'm not sure? And how can i import them all.

I did look at the import feature in the admincp downloads 2 import but i don't want to overwrite anything i already have

I really need a simple guide if anyone has done this before?

Thanks

We are looking to upload our own videos and have them stream/play from the site but not be downloadable. Will this mod work this way?

Thanks,
Rich

I am using this in vBulletin 4.2.2 and had it working perfectly a few months ago. We disabled it for a few months, then re-enabled it - no changes were made to the forum at all but now each time I try to upload anything, i get and "Maximum Upload Limit Reached" error and redirect to the uploads page. I have my extension types configured, sizes configured and have checked all the settings in the usergroups, downloads, etc. I am sure others have had this issue but I could not find a post on the solution. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are you on a shared host? It sounds like someone has changed the php settings to reduce the maximum post or the maximum upload size.

Ask your host, it is server issue.
