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.

An absolutely outstanding mod, thank you very much. :up:

I wonder if I might make a feature request, would it be possible to have a recent comments feature added to the downloadsII. I'm using your mod for Skin downloads on my site and I have the comments so members may make new graphic request in specific Skin releases. As it stands it is very difficult to find out if any new comments have been made.

Just an idea sweetie,

Hugs, Alice (SilentScreams)

Hello,

i will use it on a subdomain.mydomain.be and the forum on a other subdomain 'forum.mydomain.be'. It is possible?

[Webbstre]

If it's possible, it's probably not easy.

[DaPro]

Apparently I requested it twice lol.

Yes, if breaks the fixed templates with 4.0.5. On the main downloads.php page, it extends out past the right side of the forum. There is also a huge empty square area to the left (probably for a thumbnail, though I have that option turned off.)

I took a screen shot on my test site for you to see how it breaks the style.

Sorry if it has been mentioned earlier, I couldn't find it.

How do I remove the author box? I ALWAYS want author to be the same as the username of the uploader.

Thanks for a GREAT plugin.

I resolved this formatting issue by disabling the Vb CMS and then re-enabling it. For some reason it all cleared up and there is no longer any issue that I can find with 4.0.5

Thanks for a great product.
