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).

Plus, we only link to files on file hosts such as media fire, we don't host the files ourselves so not sure why we're seeing this issue. It's happening for admin as well as regular users...Any ideas if there's another setting I should be looking at?

Had the same problem, never got a reply or hint of what the problem could be.

vBulletin should pick up this mod and include it in a new version of 3.8

Can you give screens of the downloads2 extra permissions for all groups for a member that's had the error that should not be getting it?

Thanks for the reply. I will try to do that, I am not getting any emails from members currently complaining of this, so I will need to make a test account and run it through its paces.

Is there an issues after upgrading from 3.8 to 4.x? In "Latest files", "Most popular files", "Top contributors", etc. everything shows inside box in one line without <br>. Why?

Did you follow the upgrade instructions and run the upgrade script provided with the mod?

Thanks for replying. Yes I did. Every single step.

I even lookup inside downloads2_panel_side but problem isn't there.
