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.
Hello..what im trying to do is set it were users has to pay for my download service. People that pays will be able to upload and download unlimited. Now if a user dosent pay they can only upload and download something like 5mb. Is this possable?
thanks
waiting on your reply
You can set all that in your Usergroup Permissions. Limit your regular users permissions. Then use vB's subscription service to where they have to subscribe to be put into a usergroup that has unlimited permissions.

Great that's what I figured..Going to play around with this
One of my members just uploaded a zipped folder in the downloads section, and .zip is not one of the allowed file extensions. Any idea how this happened?

doc docx pdf rtf odt jpg gif png bmp ods xls - are the extensions I have allowed. I have gone through all the uploaded files now, and it has only happened this once that a zip-file have been uploaded.

SGL.
Strange. Download the zip file and try uploading it yourself.
Hey RS_Jelle, is there any time frame of when we can look out for version 6 of this mod?
First I was waiting for vB 4 beta, but IB seems to be doing very strange things. I will release an update (some kind of v6 lite) after June, as I currently have exams at university.

We can?t move files to another category.
Everytime we try through edit the files are gone.
The following warning is shown:
"Warnung: copy(./downloads/http://) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/downloads.php (Zeile 704)
ERROR: File not found."
Thanks in advance Mandy
Sorry to be a pain in the ..., but we still have no clue what the problem is/might be.
