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
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.

This is a great add-on. I am wanting to suggest it to a client. However, one thing is missing. In the WYSIWYG editor, there is no video BBCode. Is there a reason for this? It would be cool to add tutorial videos to the download descriptions and at this point, adding a video only creates a link. I'd rather have the video embed like in forum posts.

UPDATE: I figured it out myself, there is 2 places to make edits to adjust both image sizes, 1) inside the download.php (This controls the main big thumbnail size) search for: PHP Code:
PHP Code:
2) inside the downloads2.css template (This controls the downloads small thumbnail size) search for: PHP Code:
(I have it set to auto because I hard coded the values in the downloads.php) PHP Code:
It would be nice to add this feature in the admincp for options. I also tried have the thumbnail auto size down by percentage with still keeping the 300px height max. It worked great for the little thumbnail image description, but the main thumbnail image it made the layout/ decription all messed up. So I think its best to just set these 2 values so they don't change. I hope this helped someone out. |

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? Also, just some suggestions to this very fine add-on, which I'll have to be adding myself for my customer. 1. Add a versioning system in order to easily make updates and post them. Also show the older out-dated versions for possible download/ reference. 2. Add subsciptions to the categories, so users are automatically notified of new downloads in the categories they are interested in. 3. Add subscriptions to the downloads, (if versioning is added) so users are made aware of new versions of those downloads. 4. Add SEO friendlier URLs. Like adding the name of the download in the URL too. And something of my own, which I'm not going to add, but would be nice. 5. Comments added via AJAX. 6. Make the comments look like the comments everywhere else in vB. Like in the CMS and Blog. Great work though. Amazing it is free and you also are supporting it. That is very generous. Scott |

I will add my suggestions like Scott
First, this is my DOWNLOADSII statistics - We have 1,672 files in 134 categories. - They have been downloaded 304,599 times. 1- About the replies, it is very difficult to follow the replies for a member uploaded more than 200 files. I suggest to make a notification to the file uploader when someone reply (optional in admincp DOWNLOADSII options). Becuase some users may write a question and the file uploder doesn't know that there is a new reply which is including a question for him, he cannot check all his files every day to know if there is a new reply or not. I just need a feature to follow the replies in DOWNLOADSII. 2- Also, we can make a block in the side bar for the last XX replies. |

I guess I'm just too new to vBulletin customization but could someone smarter then me please expand on this part of the installation instructions:
"3. Change the permissions of the downloads directory (inside your forums directory) to make it writable (chmod 777)." It's not obvious to a new vB programmer what this means exactly. Is this in the admin CP somewhere or is it something I need to do on my server control panel? Thanks for a very cool mod! |

on your server
log into your forum root via ftp and right click on the dir / folder you wish to make chmod to 777 you should have properties there and then click it. In there you'll see attributes this is where you change the permissions see screen shot hope this helps |
