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.
No. I put the 5.0.8 file online over the updated one and no difference.
Also i did not change the downloads directory which is located at: /forums/downloads/
In the admincp for downloads it's set to ./downloads/
Then it's probably not caused by the upgrade. I checked it on another site and there were no download problems.
Did you have the problem already before the upgrade?
Check if your /downloads/ and /downloads/ec_tmp/ folders have a 777 chmod.
Seems to be working fine on my board Jelle. Thanks for the update. Is the addition of the navbar link hard coded into the PHP file? Where would I go to remove the navbar link? I didn't see anything in the plugins or in the Settings.

It's a setting:
Quote:
Show Navbar Button
Show a link to the downloads section in the navigation bar
(It seems I switched the "Show Navbar Button" and "Show Navbar Search" titles. I've attached an updated zip file, just overwrite the product XML.)
