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).

Just a quick note: I have exams at university next month, so I won't be able to respond here all the time until the end of June.

Best of luck Jelle! We appreciate all you do, but school definitely should come first!

About the side panel .. all file names are in one line .. as shown



How could I make each name in seperate line ?

Now it is like:
last files:
file1 , file 2 , file3 , file4 , file5

I want it like
last files:
- file1
- file 2
- file3
- file4
- file5

This confused me too. I thought it was a bug or something until I came here and found this. Isn't a terribly intuitive place to put it.

That being said, I LOVE this mod. Wonderful work. :up: It is critical on our page and very useful. Thank you so much for providing this.

:up:

Also, does 6.0.5 work with vb 4.0.3? It says that it requires 4.0.2, but doesn't say whether it is compatible with 4.0.3.
