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.

as result only shows ABC DEF when theres files with reverse name like DEF ABC which doesnt appear when i search for the name ABC DEF

wondering if theres a sugegstion for this?
and isv it possible to include a new column like latest files and popular file for example
Latest fixed links ?
if theres a function like a button that will automatically notify the link reporter that the link has been fixed by pm will surely be appreciated by the members who reported the links and and will ease alot for the staff who fix the links as they dont repeatly write pm themself manually?

Fixed my issue. Here is what you need to notice. When adding Extensions make sure your adding them under the download II section in your admin panel. Also make sure you pick File, Image or both.

That's a vBulletin bug. The blog tab isn't working too in 4.0.1.

I mean the 3 areas where I can read the files' name...

Change the forum_sidebar_content_background stylevar.

You didn't upload all files from the upload folder correctly.
This error for example is probably caused by a missing upload/includes/xml/bitfield_downloads2.xml

Is there any possibility to show the latest files in the sidebar of the forum? I tried some lines of code, but I think I'm not a good coder. So my work wasn't sucessfully...

Can you help me? Or is there a script anywhere?

Hi Jelle,

nice to hear you updated DownloadsII for vBulletin 4. Thanks for the good job and the time you spent in coding, updating and supporting this modification.

I only have one request:
Could you please change the check of the download limit from the primary to the secondary usergroups?
I mean, if I put an user secondarily into the usergroup "Without Downloadlimit" this won't work. You have to change the primary usergroup, but we can't do this with our current usergroup structure.

In my opinion this this is much more practical.
