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).

Add-ons

There are currently no official add-ons. Unofficial add-ons are listed below.

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

I had asked Jelle about modifying that block to include other info. Believe he told me that that information is stored in the database, so would have to modify that. Or something like that. Will have to report back once I try out my modifications

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.

Agreed it is a bit confusing.
and yes, most def works with 4.0.3, running it on my site

Ok the file is uploading to my download directory, but its not able to download, I get:
ERROR: File not found.

Problem fixed, the directory inside the downloads directory was not writable.

In each usergroup you can configure specific options for DownloadsII

Great mod! Many thanks!

I have a question, which if it can't be answered, then turns into a request:

How can I remove the Downloads button from the Navbar, but not remove the sub-navbar when on the downloads page? I'm using a different add-on to customize my menus, but if I disable the navbar in the settings or via plug-in disabling it also kills off the subnavbar.
