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

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.
Try reuploading all files. This is clearly a problem at your server side
I have tried this several times, even uploaded all the files using cpanel. Could it have something to do with the fact that I have renamed the admin cp. I changed it from its original location?
___________________________
EDIT: I just re-uploaded everything through Cpanel again. It is now working. Thanks for this great mod.
Did you check the usergroup permissions? The "error" is caused by an upload limit you can set on a per usergroup basis.
Thanks for the quick answer mate. I found a solution for the error and indeed, it was because of the usergroup permissions. It's really weird though. He was in two custom usergroups, both with a max file size limit of 100MB. But he only adds files of 1-5 MB. I set it for both usergroups to -1 and he can add files again. But it's still a weird situation. How can it be that I choose for 100MB but he isn't able to add a file of 1MB?
Yes, using IE. I dont have the box showing to me when it happens, but I did notice it each time I edit a file. Is there something wrong with the code that gives that error?
As I said, disable script debugging. I don't think it's coming from DownloadsII itself on the edit page, but from the WYSIWYG-editor. There are only a very few lines DownloadsII JavaScript (and they are mainly copied over from other vB parts, like the AJAX name suggestion).

You can edit the <img> code easily in downloads.php.

Did you upload the upload folder itself (wrong)? Or only its content (correct)?

You are understanding the permission setting wrong
"This is the maximum MB that a user can upload. Set this to -1 for there to be NO limit."
This is the maximum amount of ALL files a user can upload. It's not on a per upload basis.

Unfortunately your methode doesn't seem to work. It still links to the /forum/ url..
Did you update your forum url settings ("vBulletin Options" -> "Site Name / URL / Contact Details")? If you run the Update Counters, DownloadsII will reload everything with the current forum url setting.
