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).

Add-ons

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

Manage Files and Search do not appear on downloads.php and have to be accessed via the URL. I'm using the default vbulletin style.

Is there a way to add a quick search box to the downloads.php interface or perhaps default the vbulletin search function in the top right to search downloads instead of the forum/cms?

Yeah normally when you import the files from the source, and when it puts the files in the destination it all puts it in downloads folder. But it's doesn't / can't create subfolders. I can do it with subfolders but then I have to manually adjust every files path.

I just want to have my download folder organized, and import that in Downloads II.

I'll leave this problem what it is... not the biggest problem...

I got 1 error though, Security Token Invalid. I received this after editting the templates. I've replaced the thing in the download.php and the download token error is gone, but it now just "reloads" the page and doesn't start a download.. Can someone take a look on my page to see whats wrong?

Installed this and uploaded a file. Works great, but I can't download the files. When I go to click on the download file button, it re-directs me to my forum.

Thoughts?

Hi, I have followed all the instructions and set the permissions but when I go to my forum homepage there is no tab.

Don't think the mod was updated since the new navigation manager came out. Just add one yourself with these settings.

You have to create your own tab.

[Mike Bucy]

Would be glad about some Information about 4.2.x
"Got it working" is a little bit vague
