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).

I've got the error:

Error! The upload failed (error type 7).

Although i am on the previous version... about to update it from 6.04 to 6.05 to see if it resolves... otherwise whats an error type 7?

no resolution... still have the problem..

 malformed header from script. Bad header=application/x-rar-compressed

Any idea why?

[maidos]

any news about the implementation of report dead links feature.. my admins are getting bombarded with dead dfiles while ihave tens of moderators who can help but cant since they dont have access to aadmin control panel

another suggestion please have a fully working log for downladsII as some of my mods can be editing the files or even deletingwrong files without knowing who did it

Looks like a Designbug...

How can I fix it?

Soidberg

Rebuild your style, your downloads CSS sheet is probably missing. Disabling/re-enabling the "store CSS as files" vB setting should fix it.

I meant, is there a way to convert the downloads url to friendly ones through rewriting urls in .htaccess ?

Similar to the media mod of 8wayrun

Great work RS_Jelle!

Is it possible to increase file name character limitation?

[DaPro]

I'm looking for a few things with that I hope can either be changed or added eventually.

• The ability to change the layout of the sub-categories so they look less cluttered.
• The ability to add images onto your upload while adding the file instead of after.
• The ability to sort the file listing by ratings! - IMPORTANT

[session-one]

does this allow you to post links to downloads and store them categorically without having to upload to your own server? I'd much rather create a download center that serves as a reference databank to downloads but that aren't off my server.. So when you create a download you enter the "title" and then sort of like how with the avatar feature it asks u browse from your computer or enter a link, i'd want the users to enter a link. is this possible to do with this mod?
