Major Additions - DownloadsII

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.

It's also coded 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid, just like vBulletin itself.



Instructions & Support

Requires vBulletin 4.0.4 or higher. Not fully compatible with lower vB 4 versions.
It works fine with both the new editor in vB 4.1.4 or higher and the old one in previous vB versions.

Read the instructions in the next two posts before installing/upgrading this mod!

You can find an installation/upgrade manual in the zip package (Readme.txt).

I try to answer most questions asked in this thread. Please don't send any pm's if I don't ask for them. 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 some screenshots of the front-end and back-end (AdminCP part) of the DownloadsII software.

You can find a live demo on my own site: Minatica.be Downloads (Dutch).
Though keep in mind that we are running a restyled and modified version of it.

Changelog (version 6.0.9)

Jelle

• Added support for vB 4.1.8 bit processing with 'each' construct (backwards compatible)
• Fixed comma listing for vB 4.1.8 (using "old" method)

Older changelogs are included in the zip package.

Help!!! I can't upload large files??

This is probably the most asked question. It's mostly caused by some default PHP settings: check "PHP Max Post Size" and "PHP Maximum Upload Size" at your AdminCP home.

Then have a look at this post for the solution to up these values.
Also have a look at this post at vB.com (but ignore the MySQL part as DownloadsII is only using the file system).

Anyone give me and Mitch84 a hand please?
See my previous post

Also, I've read all posts and did a "search this mod", and did not see anywhere on what "pinned" and "pin" means. Can you let me know what this means?

Thank you!

I already answered that post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=273

Pin/Pinned means the same as Stick/Sticked (Sticky) at the forums. It means that a file will be at the top of all listed files in a category.

Thanks for linking it Jelle...I missed that.
:up: Thanks for explaining Pin!

Thanks for updating the mod! I'm thinking to update this mod on my vb4 but i have a question.

I don't have the DII old script files inside the webiste, can I upload the new DII files and run the update.php without uploading the oldest one?

Thanks

Yes, you don't need them. Just follow the v5 to v6 upgrade steps

Can I suggest that you add the "My Files" thing again that was in the vb3 version?
.. Also possibly recreating/redoing the "PM notification on moderated file".. cause it only linked to the right entry when the file was added, not when it was edited..

Btw I really love this mod..

How do I remove the download abuse timer? I didn't see an option for that in this version.

Slow Down! You are trying to download files too quickly. You must wait 60 seconds before you may download another file.

UPDATE: I figured it out, I had to enable strict settings and change "60" to "-1".

You thinking of adding stylevar support so we can edit the coloring of the downloads? Right now the color's I picked for the site aren't the best look in the downloads section.

You can search for your files with the new, more advanced search.

Converting the old official add-ons is on my todo list.

What's wrong with it as it's using vB's default stylevars, which should be okay (and in the same style as the forum).

A screenshot would be easy
