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).

I am currently getting this error after I process an upload.

Error! The upload failed (error type 1).

Any suggestions?

Go to admincp --> downloadsII ---> extentions ---> make sure you have the right extensions, by default, this mod doesn't come with any

How do you make it only that moderators can add files? to prevent viruses?

Its a usergroup permission, so only give the moderator usergroup, or whichever usergroups you desire, permission to upload files.

Hallo,

I have set my upload map to "../downloads/" and uploading and everything works just fine. But when i upload a image and look on the front-end the image keeps pointing to SITENAME.COM/DOWNLOADS

Is there a quick fix for this!?

Thanks.

I have a bad problem.

After a database error on my site, this was giving everyone a "You have used up your download quota for today" error.

Trying to fix this, I deleted this mod and then re-installed it. Then, of course, all the values in my download directory were cleared and wiped out. Now I have no downloads directory.

Short of reloading all the files, is there a way that I can fix this?
I had a prior database backup.

Is there a way that I can copy the values from the old database and put them in to restore the downloads listings?

Thanks in advance!

We just upgraded to the newest version of Photopost. In doing so, after importing their xml plugin, whenever we try to edit files in the downloads, we receive the following database error.

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.0:

I posted in Photopost and their response was as follows.

The proper thing would be to contact your hack author and correct his hack. You need to diagnose from that end.

We integrate with vBulletin we do not claim intergration with hacks or mods you may download and install from vbulletin.org

Your error is in whatever this part of the guys hack query is as a reference

Code:

`link` = Resource id #20,

There are no errors with your vbulletin photopost integration and install this issue is with the hack which has the error.

Your hack author probally needs to define his mysql resource and then restructure his query.

Obviously I do not use that hack so I can only point out where the issue is in his query.

Just for your reference except for a couple style class additions the 8.12 and 8.23 xml plugins are exactly the same. There are no changes that I can see.

He had us add

PHP Code:

mysql_close( $result ); 


to the end of their plugin code, but it just crashed vBulletin.

Is there something that can be done to fix this?
