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).

This widget code could be a usable starting point to make the latest updates show up on the CMS. The widget lists the latest active forum thread on the CMS pages.

unfortunately they don't code the same way vBA uses templates for its modules. Tho I think that is a template itself so might be able to pull it that way.

Hey Jelle, I'm trying to edit a few things to get things to show up the way I want, but running into a few troubles. First, on the memberinfo tab for Downloads, I'm trying to add the category to the info displayed, but cat.name doesn't show anything. Is there anything I need to do to pull this variable?
Second, on the Latest Files and Top Files, I'm trying to add "by file.author" in a smaller line underneath the title of the download, but I can't begin to see where the stats info is pulled/compiled from/at so that I could add this.

Your server is running safe mode. You MUST manually create a folder named dl_tmp under your downloads folder. Be sure to change the permissions to 777. :down:

look the alignment of thanks... Why i have this error?

can I edit manually?

[TeknoSounds]

Second time I've seen that...was on the last page too. Looks like a template conflict with the Thanks mod and this one where they're being placed.

do i have to change postbit? or what?
i can do manually
tnx

[TeknoSounds]

well I know downloadsII has its own template for the member postbit info, can check in there to see if there seems to be a bit of code thats off, I would assume there would be such for the Thanks mod too. Unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable enough to know which one is doing it tho.

[mattpist]

is it possible to add an "add new file" button to the main page instead of just the category pages? thanks!
