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).

Any other ideas? I'd really hate to have to change DL modules AGAIN. :-)

Hmm, I just checked all changes in 6.0.6 once again and there's really nothing that can cause it compared to 6.0.5.

What about the chown of the folder? I saw some cases in the past where the folders' owner changed because you overwrite it.
Are you running PHP safe mode?

+ If you have a test site on the same server, try it over there.

No, that has nothing to do with it. The security tokens were added in 6.0.5, not in 6.0.6. In this release there were no changes to them.

Don't comment out any other occurrence of them except for the first one. All others are there for real hard security reasons: without them people could post delete/approve links in IMG-tags on your forum and when a moderator/admin views such malicious threads, they automatically do the action without knowing it (causing the unwanted deletion/approval of a file).

I guess it's a template issue or so. Did you forget to revert some customized templates after the upgrade, so they are missing the security tokens?

If it won't work, you can always send me a pm with your site information and then I will take a look at it.

hi Jelle
I am running vb4.0.8 the latest version.
I have always uploaded files and never tried to download.
A couple of days ago I tried to download one of my own files and i came accross the following errors:


Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@familybunker.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache mod_fcgid/2.3.5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.familybunker.com Port 80


i tried downloading all the files and every file gives this error.
any particular reason why this is happening?

That was it! You're brilliant. I have custom downloads2_file template, and forgot to compare them with the last version. All works now.

RS_Jell, I have found a bug.

I set in the group so that users can not delete your uploaded files and the same appears to them that option.

Any idea?

From CPanel (www.site.com/cpanel) >> sub-domains

you can use (dl.site.com) instead of (site.com/forum/downloads.php)
