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
There are currently no official add-ons. Unofficial add-ons are listed below.
If you know how works FTP softwares you'll find that there is a 1998 files limit for a folder.
We should be able to choose in which folders which files are stored depending of the download categories. Not to pack everything in one single folder ( files and images ).
That means that, presently, were are limited to have only 1998 files or 999 files + 999 images ( the files + the thumbnails ).
I just upgraded my vB to 4.14 (release version) and was interested in locating a downloads hack to work in place of LDM 3.0.2 PL1, which appears to be no longer compatible....

The following dependencies were not met:
This product is not compatible with version 4.1.4 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.0 beta 1 / Incompatible with 4.1.0 and greater)
So, I tried installing the Downloads II 6.0.7 hack tonight, and got the following error:
Quote:
XML Error: Invalid character at Line 2483
Does this mean that Downloads II 6.0.7 is not compatible with vB 4.1.4 either?

That's strange. I'm running vB 4.1.4 myself and DownloadsII is working fine
There's nothing special on line 2483 of the product XML.
Try reuploading the XML or upload it to your server and use the "import the XML file from your server" option.
I simply want a media library page where users can:
1. embed their youtube videos or playlists
2. embed audio (soundcloud etc)
3. embed photos (using image codes (i.e photobucket)
3. have thumb nails appear in a directory
4. be able to organize (and search) by Sections and categories
5. Rename tab etc from Downloads to Media
I know I am describing to some extent 8WayRun.Com - Media Library -- but that mod does not work with 4.1.4.
