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.
sounds like you have those extensions listed in the open files directly in the browser section of your download settings. check in the vbamin panel then download settings to see if ya have some listed there. thats my 2cents hope it helps. dragonhart
nope,unfortunately there is nothing inside the admincp.i've checked it before.:cheeky: also when people try to download the uploaded files within downlod programs it gives them a php file instead of avi, mpeg,mp3,etc..
Thanks for this Arjan, but read my previous post php dosen't change for me and cant figure out why still investigating....read my previous post and all will be clear on what I have tried. Thanks Dragonhart
Another thing.
On Plesk servers for example there are two different PHP.ini's one for the admin CP and one for the sites.
Maybe you are facing something like that?

Hmmm good thought, but Im running Fedora 5 on the LIVE server, and the new server Im putting together is running Fedor 6 RC3, and sheesh can't seem to change that max_file_size from 2 meg, man oh man i have edited that php.ini until im blue in the face hehehe but to no avail, did a locate in shell window to make sure of the right file, now I am doing a reinstall clean and won't compile my php and apache just to see if the RC3 for Fedora is buggy. Whoot whoot, Oct 17 Finall release for Fedora 6....anywho anyother suggestions please post. Thanks Dragonhart
Don't forget hehehe I am the Admin, these 2 servers are right beside me so I set them up...

Try putting the extensions in the "Open File Directly in Browser". We have seen on another site where the default download logic doesn't work right but "Open File Directly in Browser" method does.
