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

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.
vB 3.7.0:
I tried to add $dmemberfiles and $dmemberinfo in the memberinfo_block_statistics template but it does not show up there.
Anyone got a clue what I do wrong?
I wouldn't know where it is for a windows server you could use the search function.
For linux there exists a "locate" command.
Normally it should be in the /etc directory if you're working with linux.
You are running on Linux? Which Linux distro do you use?
Try this command from root:
locate php.ini
or
whereis php.ini
I would not advise to make one, because it has lots of entry's. A php.ini is -always- installed when installing php.
If it's not your own server, ask your webhost.
Put your forums offline, then re-upload all files and set overwrite to yes hardcoded (user the force-overwrite) in your ftp program if possible (with flashfxp you can).
Reimport the product file an set overwrite to yes and put your forums online again.
Often this methode helps fixing these kind of problems.
