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

hi there,
very nice work mate!
would-there be a chance that social groups could have their own Download area? private groups could hence share some "pseudo-confidential" files ?
this would be awesome!!!! and i would pay for this development to have it quick, if ever you could do it !

downloads2

You can find this at the start of the downloads.php code (and all other vB root files):

PHP Code:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'downloads2');

That should be enough

[balkanboy]

i wonder if you guys plan to add a progress bar of some sort while its uploading specially if the file is large at times you just want to know how much longer it will take to upload

something like this but without multiple uploads of course.

RS_Jelle, when you are planning to release the next update? I already reported that everybody could see (not download) unapproved files. Is this on your radar?

I will release 6.0.4 somewhere after the vB 4.0.3 release. That issue will be fixed in it for sure.

It's already on the todo list: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....55&postcount=2

Hello !

First of all .. Thx for this great plugin.

I have a question about adding additional information to the downloads.
Is there a chance to get a custom text under "Download" -> see attachment at the red arrow?

We need to place some general download information and a link for a donation.
Is there a way to do this ?

Now that 4.0.3 has been released, how anyone tested to see if this is working 100% with it?
