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.
Because a lot of people keep on asking this: This mod works with any version of vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x!
It's also coded 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid, just like vBulletin itself.
Instructions & Support
You can find an installation manual in the zip package (Readme-Install.txt).
We try to answer most questions asked in this thread. Please don't send any pm's if we don't ask for them, as we said we try to give a high level of support in this thread. 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 6 screenshots of the front-end and back-end (AdminCP part) of the DownloadsII software. You can see the newest version in action at the Minatica.be Downloads (Dutch).
Changelog (version 5.1.2)

You can find all the changelogs of this and older versions here.
Help!!! I can't upload large files??
This is probably the second most asked question. Have a look at this post for the solution.
It doesn't work with GARS?!
If you also use the latest version of GARS, you will get the "Fields marked in RED must be filled in!" error when uploading a file. I provided a fix here on the GARS forums.
Addons
We are offering 3 addons for this mod at the moment (have a look at the bottom of this post for them). DownloadsII contains 5 hook locations for the vBulletin plugin systems, so you can add extra functionality without file edits.

Notes
ecDownloads Buddy is NOT compatible with this version. If you are using the Buddy, you should UNINSTALL it before installing DownloadsII ver 5.x.x. The Buddy's features are now integrated into DownloadsII.
DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.
Cyb, I have a very large idea for this mod....i was going to post it in the paid requests forum...but thought i'd ask if you wanted to do it yourself and release it for everyone before i went the other route...
Okay, fixed now. Please download version 1.0.2 if you've already done a download. If you ALREADY have an installation, just upload downloads.php, that's the only file that's changed, including ecDownloads 4.1.x installs.
nice heh didnt realize i was behind. updating to the latest version now & added the vba addon. ;-) thanks.
any chance that you will work in the hooks for vbplaza so that we can charge vbbux for downloads?
also how do i limit the displayed file name in the vba addon? some of my file names are long and it messes up my template.
thnx
vBPlaza integration is on our todo list for a long time. We are planning it, but when we don't know
Good idea for the vBa CMPS add-on and not that difficult to do
[high]* RS_Jelle puts it on the todo list[/high]

I don't understand the problem very good, can you explain it a bit? Try reuploading all DownloadsII files.

even better if you could have different defaults set for different categories
Good idea, I'm going to add this to v6 :up:
To all: I just restarted working on v6 after some interruption. We will try to post some pics and a feature list as soon as possible, but we don't have an ETA.
