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).

The only thing I can think about is that you've set any of the three limitations to 0. You need to set them to -1.
There are three usergroup permissions with this message: "Set this to -1 for there to be NO limit."

Are those three ok?

Just set the correct usergroup permissions:
Can Link to Files -> Yes
Can Upload Files -> No

And it's not an additional usergroup? It's the primary admin usergroup?
Pretty strange as we have the same setup on our site and we have no problems. The PHP code is also pretty clear.

I can check it out on your site (if you want of course). Then you need to pm me the necessary information.

Can you please add in the option for custom fields so that I can add in a field for "Version"?

Also, need to please have the Date of the download showing the latest date updated, not dated for when it was originally created.

Well, I?m (Admin) are in two additional user groups:

1. First has download rights
2. Second has no download rights

But the main user group Administrator has Download rights as well.

I guess the "No"-Option of the one additional user group can?t override a primary "Yes"?
I thought a secondary user group only can overrides "No" (in primary user group?)?

Hi RS_Jelle,

The time between two downloads is set to approx. 60 seconds so that you cannot download a file earlier. Is it possible to reduce this time and where can I do so? I didn't find the option in the settings.

Thanks for your help.

Regards
