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).

Hi, I downloaded the plugin but at the settings there were error messages (see attached), my forum homepage has no download section created as well. Wondering if this mod still works in the latest 4.2 PL3 ? Thanks for any help.

Try to re-upload all files in binary mode. When you make it to work, you will need to manually create a navbar link to downloads.php

it works fine with the latest 4.2 PL3. It won't automatically make the downloads tab for you since it hasn't been updated for the new navigation manager, just add the tab yourself.

As for your other problems, I have no idea.

I use it on my site which is 4.2 PL3 and it is an AWESOME mod. I hope the developer keeps making it and updating it. I will pay for updates to 5 and so forth. Well worth it!

Me too. If V5 version will be paid, I will pay for it. If free - I will just donate the money. 5-star mod.

still getting an error when trying to upload if I have any additional usergroups. Only happens on my account though.....any ideas?

[Morpheus NS]

I have the same problem, I had to login as one of my moderators to upload files. Can't download too.

[stationar]

Did you check permission for every group you are member?

[Morpheus NS]

That was the problem, thank you! I have a custom usergroup which has no permissions to download or upload files, I forgot about it....
