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

There are currently no official add-ons. Unofficial add-ons are listed below.

Do you know if it updates the user message counter? As I can see, when a user uploads a file, his message counter remains the same.

do you mean post counter?

if so this add on will help you https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=247952 it creates a thread in a specific (named by you) place telling members that there is a new upload and adds a post to the user who uploaded! works great

How can I avoid that? There is no option in the groups permissions !

i think the only thing that will help you is making the members uploads got to moderation where you can chose to pin or not to pin! because I haven't been able to find anything else again I'm very new (about a month) to this!

not working with me i got this , i add some extention to test


The following errors occurred when this file was submitted:

You may only upload or link to the following extensions: .zip

[spillage]

This would seem that you only have .zip files allowed, and you tried to upload something other than a .zip file.

I am using this mod so my visitors can download vector based images in .eps format but is there a way so that they can see a .jpg image of the file before downloading?

For instance I have 3 different crosses in one section so they have to download all 3 just to see what they like - If I could attach a JPG image to the description it would save a lot of frustration. Any way to do this?

thats because you only added the .zip extension! you'll need to add other extensions

remember to set the size of the file allowed aswell

I guess this mod is not supported anymore! download at your own risk....there hasn't been a dev/coder replying to any of these questions....i'm just a user.

abo rashid....if you need help, i wouldn't mind giving you a few free moments! pm me (and i dont know everything)

yes, its very easy. first you must have the .jpg added as an extension and enable images in the cp/downloadsII/settings/enable images

then after you are done uploading your .eps files scroll down and you should see IMAGES with a browse box

again i dont think this is a supported mod
