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.

Can you run 2 of these mods on the same site? In other words I have a need to have 2 different downloads area's that do not involve the forum. So could this mod be somehow installed twice and run side by side?

Is there any intention of protecting against duplicate file uploads.

How can i change the fontsize of the filename link on the page attached above, but leave all the other text the same size. I'd like to make this text 15 or 16px but its inherited and i dont know enough php to do it myself. Also would it be possible to prevent the comments from wrapping under the filename as it makes it harder to see with lots of files. Any help would be appreciated.

Question. After its installed how do I change the top nav bar from saying Media to maybe Videos or something of my choice. I dont like it saying media. I saw it in there as a variable but I didnt know what to edit. Thanks.

I have an admin user that should have no restrictions getting the maximum upload limit reached error message, There are no limits in any of the usergroups he belongs too - any ideas as to a fix ?

vB 4.0.3 was released almost a year ago. Why would you like to keep running such an outdated version?

That's odd, as there's nothing called "media" in DownloadsII. You can search the whole code, but you won't find any occurrence of it. It's probably caused by another mod.

Are you sure all limitation usergroup settings are set to -1 (and not to 0)? And strict limits set to no?
