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.
Because a lot of people keep on asking this: This mod works with any version of vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x!
It's also coded 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid, just like vBulletin itself.
Instructions & Support
You can find an installation manual in the zip package (Readme-Install.txt).
We try to answer most questions asked in this thread. Please don't send any pm's if we don't ask for them, as we said we try to give a high level of support in this thread. 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 6 screenshots of the front-end and back-end (AdminCP part) of the DownloadsII software. You can see the newest version in action at the Minatica.be Downloads (Dutch).

You can find all the changelogs of this and older versions here.
Help!!! I can't upload large files??
This is probably the second most asked question. Have a look at this post for the solution.
It doesn't work with GARS?!
If you also use the latest version of GARS, you will get the "Fields marked in RED must be filled in!" error when uploading a file. I provided a fix here on the GARS forums.
Addons
We are offering 3 addons for this mod at the moment (have a look at the bottom of this post for them). DownloadsII contains 5 hook locations for the vBulletin plugin systems, so you can add extra functionality without file edits.

Notes
ecDownloads Buddy is NOT compatible with this version. If you are using the Buddy, you should UNINSTALL it before installing DownloadsII ver 5.x.x. The Buddy's features are now integrated into DownloadsII.
DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.
@mpoorrajab: Did you check your folder rights and all usergroup rights? I asked this already 2 times and did not see an answer to it yet. How do you expect to get help if you don't mention what is checked and corrected and what is not?
You've automaically set the script to use the image 'collapse_tcat_collapsed.gif' as a download link on a files' page. How can I remove, or change that to take the image for that spot from elsewhere?
Do the attachment settings(file size limits, total attachment space for a user) apply to files in the downloads section?
No, they work separate. Maybe I'm integrating it with vB 4 (with the asset manager).

It's in the ecdownloads_download_pic phrase

All I get when I enter a the URL for the download's directly is an error; Warning: opendir(home/jam/public_html/thepsychologyforum/downloads/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/downloadadmin.php on line 290
How can I delete the image from the two headers (one at the top and one at the bottom) in the file screen? I'd like to do this because it already says' [Download X File] next to the image, so I'd rather have one link in the same place. But I'd like to keep it on the main files' listing page
Also, When a logged in user click through to a file via an automatically created thread (addon) he is automatically logged out for some reason. Is this down to this plugin, or the auto-thread creation plugin?
