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.

Hi
Is there any way to put custom fields in this?

At the moment there is file name and author. I would like to use about 4 different fields for my site, is this possible?

Also is it possible to get the title of the download in bold? It just looks a bit bland and you cannot tell which is the link to click on either.

Cheers

Unless I'm doing something wrong (entirely possible) seems like 4.0.2 is screwing up the formatting : My site

[stationar]

So, 4.0.2 doesn't fix userprofile tag issue.

I made it to work for me. Edit plugin "DownloadsII: Downloads Profile Tab": found "profile_left_last" and changed it to "profile_tabs_last"

vBulletin 4.0.2 broke some of the templates. Hopefully you will get a chance to fix them soon.

Same result here on my testboard. The 4.0.2 update shot the downloads template completly. Help!

Just a wild guess: did you try vBulletin default skin?
