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.
I'd still like to know whether it would be possible to upload pictures and display them as a thumbnail or a full size image without the need to upload an associated image.
No, that's not possible. DownloadsII isn't meant to be a gallery mod.

Thanks in advance!
No, that would require to rewrite almost every line of the code. Permissions, tables, ... everything should get another name then. And you would need to update it manually with every release.

Need to be phrase fully
I've put it on the todo list. Should be fixed in a next release.
I was too quick with revamping the search to a vB 4 look

I've also a couple of suggestions, not sure if they would be possible. Is there any way to allow subscriptions to the download "threads"? And would it be possible to see the author name in the listings view, currently it's thumbnail/description/time but author name would be nice.
1. It should work (if you run vB 4.0.2, but I see you do). Do you still have this problem?
2. That's not possible at the moment.

Do you have PHP's GD library installed? Check your PHP info (AdminCP -> Maintenance).
Hello
There is even a possibility that uploads are automatically written in the forum.
Thanks

Hallo
Gibt es auch schon eine Möglichkeit das Uploads auch im Forum automatisch geschrieben werden.
Danke
I've found what might be a potential bug, not sure.
Since installing this mod we've been busy moving our downloads to the new area from the forum. I loved the feature to post the author name, it helped the staff when moving other members downloads as we were able to assign the posts to the rightful authors BUT now posts that we have moved, that we've assigned to other authors are appearing as our downloads on the profile tab and postbit. Any way around this? It should be linked to author name should it not?

Author ≠ Uploader
You can change the uploader by editing a file (Assign New Uploader).
