DownloadsII · **Released**: 12-27-2009

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).

Add-ons

There are currently no official add-ons. Unofficial add-ons are listed below.

group permissions.. try setting it to 20 or 10

Download DELAY: This is the minimum time in seconds that the user must wait between file downloads. Set this to 0 for there to be NO limit. If you set this number too low, your site could be open to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack! If the user is in multiple groups, the HIGHEST value will be the delay setting.

Thanks for you reply Hippy.

I tried that last night and again just now and our members still have the same problem.

Any other ideas please?

I have searched this thread and the net and can't find a solution to it:

My members are reporting an error with Downloads II. They have reported gettingthe following error message:

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

I don't know why it is saying this as I have the wait time set to 20 seconds.

I have checked all my settings in AdminCP and they are correct - IE: -1, -1, -1 and Strict set to "No".

Your help in this would be appreciated.

Also, I don't see this message as Admin as I have no time on the downloads (set to 0).

When I set the members' usergroup (temporary) to 0 too, there were naturally no issues with the dowload times.

Is there a 60 second thing coded into one of DownloadII files somewhere that is causing this issue?

Many thanks,
Welshy2008.

I'll try and figure it out for you .. might be a global over riding it

Anyone have any other tips for this issue? It below being the external img BBcode setting.

The setting was off, but after turning it on, I do get the video button now in the editor, however the video bbCode is still not embedding the video (not being parsed). All I'm getting are links. Any other tips before I start digging into the code?

Good catch. The normal BBCode parser doesn't seem to handle that.

In downloads.php
find

PHP Code:


			
    $file['description'] = $bbcode_parser->do_parse($file['description'], false, true, true, true, true, $cachable);

and add this above

PHP Code:


			
    require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_video.php');
    $file['description'] = parse_video_bbcode($file['description']);

Hi,

I do not know if this is the right site to post about this....
I have installed DownloadsII version 6.x
Everything looks fine however I do not know how:
1. Where allow a user to use Downloads
2. Where to modify the default test category:
Test Category This is a test category. You can edit it in your AdminCP.

Thanks
