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).

I already tagged it. Waiting for David to do some more testing with the import script he has to go from Downloads II to his.

I should add though that I really like DownloadsII but with the problems we are having right now with it that we need to either fix it or move to a different solution.

I know some modders have quit supporting their mods to show their revolt against IB for the due to the suit against XF but I don't know if rsjelle is one of them or not.

[maidos]

no, rsjelle isnt, he has provided bug fixes on 3.0.8 and 3.0.7 he is just busy with something else

[RS_Jelle]

DownloadsII 6.0.6 fixes a profile tab design issue with vBulletin 4.0.8. Next to that, it's now possible to edit comments. There are usergroup permissions to control this. Also two minor bugs are fixed now.

DownloadsII 6.0.6 Changelog

Jelle

• Added compatibility for vBulletin 4.0.8 (new profile tab design)
• Added functionality to edit comments
• Fixed no permission page when users get redirected to non-approved files
• Fixed missing sessionid in navigation

Hello RS_Jelle
Thanks for the update.

At least I can now control the main permissions via the primary usergroup, and then manage category access via the secondary usergroups. This appears to be pretty effective. Great mod Jelle!

Thanks for the update! I've been testing this mod for a while and would love to use it and $ contribute but I'm having the same issues a Bobbo. Is there a work around like Bobbo suggests? Please send me a PM for the best way to $ contribute to this Mod.

Thanks! David
