Major Additions - DownloadsII

There's a vB4 version of this mod available: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231427

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.

Because a lot of people keep on asking this:
This mod works with any version of vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x!

It's also coded 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid, just like vBulletin itself.



Instructions & Support

You can find an installation manual in the zip package (Readme-Install.txt).

We try to answer most questions asked in this thread. Please don't send any pm's if we don't ask for them, as we said we try to give a high level of support in this thread. 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 6 screenshots of the front-end and back-end (AdminCP part) of the DownloadsII software. You can see the newest version in action at the Minatica.be Downloads (Dutch).

You can find all the changelogs of this and older versions here.

Help!!! I can't upload large files??

This is probably the second most asked question. Have a look at this post for the solution.

It doesn't work with GARS?!

If you also use the latest version of GARS, you will get the "Fields marked in RED must be filled in!" error when uploading a file. I provided a fix here on the GARS forums.

Addons

We are offering 3 addons for this mod at the moment (have a look at the bottom of this post for them). DownloadsII contains 5 hook locations for the vBulletin plugin systems, so you can add extra functionality without file edits.

Well at least it uploads something I wouldnt upload anything much bigger then that via this way anyway. Anything over 2 mbs I use a ftp program.

[Black Tiger]

The cause of that lies in the php.ini setting. Check your php.ini and put it higher then 2mb or ask your host.

[DementedMindz]

Black Tiger you have to read the post lol he is the host he owns the servers

[Black Tiger]

Ah sorry due to some kind of reason the new posts stopped here, and I completely overseen the previous text... I'm very sorry.:sleep:

However, I saw once such kind of setting to in the httpd.conf of apache. At that time, next to the php.ini change, I had also to change the apache setting too, to get the result I wanted.

Unfortunately I don't remember which apache version that was and how the line was called, but maybe he can find it.

[DementedMindz]

you shouldnt have to touch nothing in apache cause apache dont limit your upload_max_filesize thats all to do with php. the only reason you touch apache is for the settings to take affect.

is your page still Valid XHTML? lol that gives all kinds of XHTML errors but does take the black away

[DementedMindz]

here you go try this

find:

          <td valign="top">
          $dmain_jr
          </td>

replace

          <td class="alt2" align="center" colspan="3" valign="top">
          $dmain_jr
          </td>

This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

I'm no coder. I just try to fix it lol

[DementedMindz]
