Major Additions - DownloadsII

There's a vB4 version of this mod available: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231427

DownloadsII

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)

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.

• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

I hope an updated version with lots of the requested features, comes up n_n

[TeknoSounds]

I'm attempting to use the Import feature to add in over 300 mp3 filesthat are about 60-100mb a piece.

However when hitting the Import button the page refreshes to a blank page and says Done at the bottom of the browser.

I had the files already in the directory the Downloads mod is set to in the settings. Do I need to move them elsewhere?

[TeknoSounds]

found the problem...300+ is too many for it to handle at once. Max was 5 at a time.

ugh

1. I'm wanting to make my download section to look like it does on the Dutch site here..



2. Also, how do I get images beside each download as they have on the Dutch site here? I'd like it to look like this...



When I go to upload a new file, I don't see a place to add an image to go with the download.

Can someone help me with these changes? Thanks!

1. You can add icons to categories via AdminCP

2. Possibility to add images to a download is presented after the file itself was uploaded.

I've got one question regarding the template edits.

When I reviewed the MEMBERINFO, I was unable to locate the portion stated above.

Would it be possible to post my template and get suggestions.

[ReadOrDie]

On the file description I have an MP3 BBcode...however in the file list it just shows as "http://www.domain.com/file.mp3" is there anyway to get it so it doesn't show this file URL? I don't want the BBcode to be seen either but anything else would be fine.

[zushiba]

So any word on this?

[ReadOrDie]

Nope...author hasn't come by in quite a while...
