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.

Where is it though is my question..........

[DementedMindz]

in your root folder unless you have windows hosting

[njolakoski]

I have linux hosting and i see nothing in my root folder for htaccess

[DementedMindz]

you need to make a htaccess file in your root with that info in there to increase your upload limit.

[DementedMindz]

you more then likely have one in there just you cant see it. check in cpanel and view your root folder you should see it.

[njolakoski]

WEll its not there, so how do i make one , just enter that code in then press Save As htaccess.php?

[DementedMindz]

did you check from cpanel to make sure its not there? if not make a file in your root folder and name it .htaccess and make sure its chmodded to 644

[njolakoski]

I use godaddy they dont have Cpanel.......

And ChMOdded to 644? I upload files through IE, is there awayt to CHMOD it to 644 through that?

[DementedMindz]

ahh thats why you dont see it. get a ftp client and use that its so much easier esp. when you want to add things.

[njolakoski]

I would but I have 56K and you try download something on 56k lol
