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.
Because a lot of people keep on asking this: This mod works with any version of vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x!
It's also coded 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid, just like vBulletin itself.
Instructions & Support
You can find an installation manual in the zip package (Readme-Install.txt).
We try to answer most questions asked in this thread. Please don't send any pm's if we don't ask for them, as we said we try to give a high level of support in this thread. 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 6 screenshots of the front-end and back-end (AdminCP part) of the DownloadsII software. You can see the newest version in action at the Minatica.be Downloads (Dutch).
Changelog (version 5.1.2)
Jelle
Backported CSRF security fix from the vB 4 release
Added permission check for Update Counters
Fixed PHP warnings when running PHP 5.3
Removed the imagecreatefrombmp() function. It doesn't exist.
Added permission check for rating submissions
You can find all the changelogs of this and older versions here.
Help!!! I can't upload large files??
This is probably the second most asked question. Have a look at this post for the solution.
It doesn't work with GARS?!
If you also use the latest version of GARS, you will get the "Fields marked in RED must be filled in!" error when uploading a file. I provided a fix here on the GARS forums.
Addons
We are offering 3 addons for this mod at the moment (have a look at the bottom of this post for them). DownloadsII contains 5 hook locations for the vBulletin plugin systems, so you can add extra functionality without file edits.

Notes
ecDownloads Buddy is NOT compatible with this version. If you are using the Buddy, you should UNINSTALL it before installing DownloadsII ver 5.x.x. The Buddy's features are now integrated into DownloadsII.
DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.
when i copy all download dir with images and files, i have a problem... because same thumbs images have permission 600, and another 644 but the down files have 777!!!
when i copy this dir, the images with 600 CHMOD doesn't copy why??
if i set this with 777 i receive the error "permission denied"
So yeah, I'm still having the problem of a messed up database due to a bad uninstall I believe. Like I said, if I attempt to delete ANY thread on my forum (as well moving individual posts between threads) I get the following error...

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:
Invalid SQL:
SELECT id
FROM dl_files
WHERE dl_files.dl_threadid='379';
MySQL Error : Unknown column 'dl_files.dl_threadid' in 'where clause'
Error Number : 1054

Is there anyway to completely remove this entire modification, including specific SQL to remove/drop ANY tables related to it to fix my database. My forums currently in turmoil because of this

Use SSH instead of FTP - if possible - to do such actions.

Just use the "Exclude Categories" and "Can Download Files" usergroup permissions for guests.

HELP?
That's not a real DownloadsII problem. You probably still have the "DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On" installed, which doesn't work without DownloadsII itself.

No, except from giving them AdminCP access (which isn't a good idea).

It should work with all styles normally, as it's fully templated. What's the problem?
Just use the "Exclude Categories" and "Can Download Files" usergroup permissions for guests.
Thanks for reply,
"Exclude Categories" is not a solution,
d?ont like for seo, and I like guest view but no download the other categories,
then if guest like a downloads, he registers in the forum.
