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).

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.

Notes
ecDownloads Buddy is NOT compatible with this version. If you are using the Buddy, you should UNINSTALL it before installing DownloadsII ver 5.x.x. The Buddy's features are now integrated into DownloadsII.
DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.
My downloads search engine's stopped working (ie: returning results for any query) since I upgraded from 5.0.3 to 5.0.4. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks...
hugh
I changed the search query name, so I think you didn't reverted all the templates to reflect this change
Reverting all the DownloadsII templates should fix this.
I have installed it on 3.6.4, I am trying to import a file through import and i am getting the following warnings: Warning: opendir(/home36b/sub001/sc28591-FTHE/www/forums/admincp/downloads/stat.zip) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /admincp/downloadadmin.php on line 290
and after clicking on the importfiles button, i get the following: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/downloadadmin.php on line 337
And where are the files going to get imported to? Aldo i wasn't succesful to add a file due to above mentioned warnings, I do not see any changes on my forum or anything that can bring me to the file on the forum.
Sorry if i am being blind, can someone please help me out?
Is anyone having trouble with file search after upgrading to v5.04?
I upgraded my forum to v3.64 and the downloads to v5.04 last night. All other things in the downloads database work fine except the search page. Searching doesn't show any results.
I'll need to revert some templates soon... don't know if this is the reason though.
