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.

it would require some coding changes.. once i get it all sorted myself i might be able to come up with something. some who have been using it awhile night have it already.
the guy who made this still hasn't answered my pm about the bug i'm dealing with or responded to this thread about it.. don't think he checks this site to often..

Overwrite your full downloads2_main_catbit template with this:

Code:

<tr valign="top">
<td class="dl2info" valign="top" align="{vb:stylevar left}" nowrap="nowrap">

<vb:if condition="$cat['catimage'] != ''"><a href="downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=cat&amp;id={vb:raw cat.id}"><img src="{vb:raw cat.catimage}" alt="{vb:raw cat.name}" title="{vb:raw cat.name}" border="0" align="center"/></a></vb:if>

	&nbsp;&nbsp;<b><a href="downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=cat&amp;id={vb:raw cat.id}">{vb:raw cat.name}</a></b>
	</td>
	<td class="dl2info" valign="center" align="{vb:stylevar left}">
		<span class="smallfont">{vb:raw cat.description}</span>
		<vb:if condition="$subcats">
			<div class="subcats">
				<h4>{vb:rawphrase dl2_sub_cats}:</h4>
				<ol class="commalist">
					{vb:raw subcats}
				</ol>
			</div>
		</vb:if>
	</td>
	<td class="dl2info" valign="top" align="center" height="40"><span class="smallfont">{vb:raw cat.files} items</span></td>
</tr>

Hope this helps.

I dont use sub cats, but looking at the code, it would be:

Code:

<tr>
	<td class="dl2info" valign="middle" align="{vb:stylevar left}" nowrap="nowrap">
		<a href="downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=cat&amp;id={vb:raw sub.id}">{vb:raw sub.name}</a>
		<vb:if condition="$sub['catimage'] != ''">&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=cat&amp;id={vb:raw sub.id}"><img src="{vb:raw sub.catimage}" border="0" alt="{vb:raw sub.name}" title="{vb:raw sub.name}" /></a></vb:if>
	</td>
	<td class="dl2info" valign="middle" align="{vb:stylevar left}">
		<span class="smallfont">{vb:raw sub.description}</span>
		<vb:if condition="$subcats">
			<div class="subcats">
				<h4>{vb:rawphrase dl2_sub_cats}:</h4>
				<ol class="commalist">
					{vb:raw subcats}
				</ol>
			</div>
		</vb:if>
	</td>
	<td class="dl2info" valign="middle" align="center" height="50"><span class="smallfont">{vb:raw sub.files}</span></td>
</tr>

Sometimes, a little look at the code learns you so much.
Look at the red bit, and after that, the "catimage" gives it away.

Code:

<tr>
	<td class="dl2info" valign="middle" align="{vb:stylevar left}" nowrap="nowrap">
		<a href="downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=cat&amp;id={vb:raw sub.id}">{vb:raw sub.name}</a>
		<vb:if condition="$sub['catimage'] != ''">&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=cat&amp;id={vb:raw sub.id}"><img src="{vb:raw sub.catimage}" border="0" alt="{vb:raw sub.name}" title="{vb:raw sub.name}" /></a></vb:if>
	</td>
	<td class="dl2info" valign="middle" align="{vb:stylevar left}">
		<span class="smallfont">{vb:raw sub.description}</span>
		<vb:if condition="$subcats">
			<div class="subcats">
				<h4>{vb:rawphrase dl2_sub_cats}:</h4>
				<ol class="commalist">
					{vb:raw subcats}
				</ol>
			</div>
		</vb:if>
	</td>
	<td class="dl2info" valign="middle" align="center" height="50"><span class="smallfont">{vb:raw sub.files}</span></td>
</tr>

Simply move it to where you want it to display, ie the example below would be after the image.

Code:

<tr>
	<td class="dl2info" valign="middle" align="{vb:stylevar left}" nowrap="nowrap">

		<vb:if condition="$sub['catimage'] != ''"><a href="downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=cat&amp;id={vb:raw sub.id}"><img src="{vb:raw sub.catimage}" border="0" alt="{vb:raw sub.name}" title="{vb:raw sub.name}" /></a></vb:if>
	
		<a href="downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=cat&amp;id={vb:raw sub.id}">{vb:raw sub.name}</a>
</td>
	<td class="dl2info" valign="middle" align="{vb:stylevar left}">
		<span class="smallfont">{vb:raw sub.description}</span>
		<vb:if condition="$subcats">
			<div class="subcats">
				<h4>{vb:rawphrase dl2_sub_cats}:</h4>
				<ol class="commalist">
					{vb:raw subcats}
				</ol>
			</div>
		</vb:if>
	</td>
	<td class="dl2info" valign="middle" align="center" height="50"><span class="smallfont">{vb:raw sub.files}</span></td>
</tr>
