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.

Are there any plans to integrate a points/cash system (like vBCredits) in to vBDownloads? Meaning, users are only able to download if they have the points/cash to do so?

[diabolicds]

Would like to know is it possible somehow to forbid direct download?

For example if one registered user download file he can see than direct link to that file so he can place that direct link to any pub forum or share with others not registered users on my board. Is this possible?

Cheers

This is Downloads II, vBDownloads is made by the same guys that make vBCredits and will integrate.

I did it using the batch importer, after that, I modified each entry's date and dowload count. Now, I only had around 300 so, took me a couple days.

EDIT

Just realized that inside my gallery the navbar link for the downloads was not working, maybe this is useful for any of you.

Open downloads2_navbar_link template and insert {vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/ before any downloads.php

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'downloads2'">
<li class="selected">
	<a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/downloads.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase downloads2}</a>
	<ul class="floatcontainer">
		<li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/downloads.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase dl2_main}</a></li>
		<vb:if condition="$show['dlsearch']">
			<li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=search">{vb:rawphrase dl2_search_downloads}</a></li>
		</vb:if>
		<vb:if condition="$show['addnewfile']">
			<li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=add">{vb:rawphrase dl2_add_file}</a></li>
		</vb:if>
		<vb:if condition="$show['manfiles']">
			<li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/downloads.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=manfiles">{vb:rawphrase dl2_manage_files}</a></li>
		</vb:if>
	</ul>
</li>
<vb:else />
	<li><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/downloads.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase downloads2}</a></li>
</vb:if>

Don't know what I am doing wrong, upgraded to the latest version of this but all I keep getting is below whenever I try to upload file, I have the extensions set correct to allow .rar also.

Error! The upload failed (error type 1).

I tried this mentioned here but it makes no difference https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=309.
