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.

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.
check to see if all files/directories in the downloads directory have rw attributes set for user, group and world. If not you should run chmod 777 *.
The files don't need to be, but the /downloads and /ec_tmp directory's should be 777.
Unless your host is using suphp then they should be 755.
For the files it won't matter, they don't need to be 777.

Did you use the upgrade script or just install the vb4 over the vb3 version?
upgrade script from /install/upgrade.php , i was using 4.11 to 4.17 / latest now there is. thanks so much
what do i need to do ? thakns
You misunderstood, when you upgraded downloadsII, not vbulletin, did you use the downloadsII upgrade script or just install the downloadsII product from the xml file?
Getting a strange error that I think is related to VBSEO. I searched the thread but didn't see a solution.
It's partially within DownloadsII and partially with the Create Threads add-on.
When I upload a file, it uploads file and then when it goes to load the page for the newly added file and it kicks out the "Invalid File ID Specified" error.
The URL it tries to load is similarly structured to the example below:
The only difference is & vs &. Odd thing is that pre-SEO the URL is /forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=170 within the DLII directory and in the thread created. It has something to do with VBSEO no parsing the & when uploading a file and when in the thread.
You should ask over at VBSeo, problem seems in there.
They also have an error in their downloads/downloadsII.php addon for a long time and did not fix it yet.
The "order by" should be changed like this:
Code:
("SELECT id,name FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_cats ORDER BY `id`");
A little bit further it should read:
Code:
$mods = $db->query("SELECT id as fid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files");
while ($mod = $db->fetch_array($mods))
{
$url = $vbseo_vars['bburl'].'/downloads.php?do=file&id='.$mod['fid'];
if(VBSEO_ON)
However, this is for the vbseo sitemap addon, probably exists somewhere on the real VBSeo too but I don't know where.
There is no problem with Downloads II, vbSeo has some incorrect statements which need to be fixed, so that's why it's best to ask over at VBSeo.
