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).

Yes once installed its in usergroup manager>>select usergroup and you will see it under "DownloadsII Extra Permissions"

[stationar]

It looks like regular users can view (not download) unapproved files. Is this a bug, or it is supposed to be this way?

I am getting this for any file I try to upload! Even for a text file 9 bytes in size

1: I can upload attachments to the forum fine.
2: My php max post size is 20MB
3: My php max uploadsize is 20MB

For the 9b txt file I tried to upload max file size was set to 2000000 and still no joy.

Cheer

Cheers mate.

It was happening because I was a member of an additional user group. Even though my primary user group of admin had full access as soon as I made myself an additional user of another user group it was over riding it.

All sorted now and thanks for the mod:up:

Did you check the "DownloadsII Extra Permissions" usergroup permissions? There you can set an upload limit, which gives this notice.[/QUOTE]

Hmm, this is really working fine for me and others. Can you pm me your site url and an account to check it out?

Nice find, I should have missed something there. Fixed for next release

Dear RS_Jelle,

For the next version, is it possible that in "Manage files" if you select "Delete file", the system asks something like "Are you sure that you want to delete the file XYZ?" or a warning of that sort?

I ALMOST clicked on the wrong file today, so thought that it would be nice to have a check in place.

Getting Error after following the upgrade instructions from Downloads II 5.1.1 with Downloads II Create Thread 1.0.2 to This version.

I get this Error on the top of my forum

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(1146) : eval()'d code on line 28

If I disable Downloads II Create Thread the error stops showing up. Did I do something wrong?

That's not something for the next release, but each delete option needs a double check indeed, like on the file page.

Just keep it disabled for the moment. CyberRanger is working on an updated version

[stationar]

Do you plan for something like "Featured files", or "Admin recommended", or something like this?
