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).

Jelle,

Having some problems with the Downloads and I'm on 6.0.5. Basically a members secondary usergroup allows them to download products but when they are logged in and click on the latest downloads in the blocks or the downloads.php, they get:

"Invalid File ID."

Then it redirects them to downloads.php where they see no files at all. I've checked the permissions and everything looks good. One of our members has two different secondary groups that allow them access to the same download categories, not sure if there is a conflict there.

It is working because as administrator I can see the downloads and it does not tell me Invalid File ID. Thanks for your assistance.

It would be nice to be able to add a searchable field on the description page. The way this is now, you either have to bury this field in the description where it will likely not be seen -- or create a whole new subcategory.

I'm not sure how hard this would be to add. I appreciate the MOD. This would just be very helpful.

At least I can now control the main permissions via the primary usergroup, and then manage category access via the secondary usergroups. This appears to be pretty effective. Great mod Jelle!

Thanks for this mod! I've been testing it and would love to use it and $ contribute but I'm having the same issues a Bobbo. Is there a work around like Bobbo suggests? Please send me a PM for the best way to $ contribute to this Mod.

Thanks! David

Ideas:

• Tag system: admins should be able to "pre-configure" tags. User groups could also be forbidden from creating or assigning tags.
• Featured items: Admins will select featured items from all categories, and they will be listed separately. This could also be achieved by tag system as well. Admin creates "Featured" tag, and forbid users assign tags to the downloads.
