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).

Nice solution! I found an even better way though, to have all lines aligned with each other.. simply add: <dd></dd> at the front of your code (including the line break tag you added) and it will have everything looking perfect. Thanks for the help.

<dt> adds aligns left and : at the end and <dd> addes I think aligns right and bold..
or something to that affecct

I really love this mod and my site relies pretty heavily on this mod. One thing that I think would make this mod even better would be the ability to have images that are added to a file to open in a lightbox when clicked on instead of a new browser window? It would really make it look more professional.

Looks like that feature has been implemented on the developers own version, and just hasn't been ported over to this public version.

Check out the behavior on their website provided in the mod description.

+1 to hopefully getting this implemented on the version here.

Also, seeing this error when trying to import files.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/admincp/downloads2.php on line 785

I'm not a coder, so I have no idea what this means or how to correct it, but line 785 of /admincp/downloads2.php shows the following:

foreach ($_POST['import'] AS $file => $null)
