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).

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.
You should use usergroups for that. When users have x number of posts they get promoted to a usergroup that can download files.
i knwo that i dont want them to access all the files just certain ones and from what i see thats not possible ..unless u create a category in the DL's for each individual file...n thats just dumb
Is there a way that I can make the Updated Downloads auto-notification posts to be locked by default instead of open? I would rather people not post under the auto-post that DownloadsII creates to the forums.
I cant seem to find in the template MEMBERINFO where to put the first "$dmemberinfo" thats needed for stats to show. I am running VB version 3.7.1 and when I search the template I come up with nothing. Please help! Ive tried searching all different kind of ways. Apparently the template has changed alot in 3.7.1 and what you search for in the template of MEMBERINFO needs to be changed or updated so you can find where to place the first $dmemberinfo at???
Thanks in advance!
Great Mod! Had it working in 3.6.10 before upgrading and rebuilding forum with version 3.7.1.
Still trying to figure out a smoother method of the auto-post notification thing.
I just don't want users to post within the updated thread auto-posts... unless I totally move the thread location elsewhere that has permissions set... but then it wouldn't be with the whole area for discussion and would become confusing.
Anyone else getting a Token error running vb 3.7.1 and downloadsII 5.0.8? I have the error when a user that is logged in tries to add a comment to a download.
