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).

[Hippy]

if your only having trouble with larger files it could be a php limit from your host..
I for get but I read it here .. you can set the size of the files allow in the admincp as well ..

Edit:

Now my problem is the path to the Uploaded images is wrong...

http://forum.mopar1973man.com/home/content/m/o/p/mopar73man/html/forum/_vbdatafiles/download/2006-fsm_69E_thumb.jpg

It should be

http://forum.mopar1973man.com/_vbdatafiles/download/2006-fsm_69E_thumb.jpg

How do I change the path of the upload images?

Hello, thanks for this great mod =)

I have a little question about the download log in admin page, the name of files shown only the first 20 characters, so can I extend them to be more? and how?

Best Regards,

Hello, I'm almost done creating my downloads page, everything was fine until i tried to add an image to a file.

Basically, the image is uploaded with no error message, the thumbnail is created, but it is not linked properly, there is no .jpg extension added to the filename and no _thumb.jpg in the small image.

Did I have something misconfigured?

Filetypes is jpg; mimetype: image/jpg; Usage: Image Extension; Open Directly

here is an example link:

Thanks for any advice
