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.
Is there a way to set the amount of posts for registered group to download. Like if they have 0 post they CANNOT download.
You can control that through usergroup settings. You would need to have people with zero post as normal registered users. Then, when they make a post (or have x number of posts) have vb automatically move them to a new usergroup that can download files.
yeah that would be nice too but what im talking about is move that table from the side to the top like it was when ronin had it. with all them on top of each page (above downloads navbar like the old one) or a option to have them on side.
I don't get it fully. There's already the "Display "Tops" on all pages?" option in the settings?

Have a look at this post or the readme file included in the package, this is already possible
You need to do the postbit template changes for it and enable the option in the DownloadsII settings.

Thanx
That's something for after the v6 release. We are recoding everything now, so creating the plugin now is a bit stupid because we need to remake it immediately after the release then. Please request it again after the release, then we will take a look at it and possibly make it. There are normally enough hook locations in the code to do this without code changes.

So you mean displaying the category name in the left (or top) stats window? That's a bit difficult because it's too small for this, and putting it on a new line makes thing cluttered (too much information in a too small space).

The Upload works perfectl, but now its crashed.
The file is only 2mb and all Right of the folders Download EcTemp are 777
What's the PHP upload limit for files? You can check it on the main page of the AdminCP. Do other (smaller) uploads work?
Also try Extra -> Internet Options -> Advanced (tab) in Internet Explorer and enable the "Disable error tracing in scripts" option (normally it's standard enabled). I'm using a dutch Internet Explorer version, so I don't know what the german terms are for this and also the English ones are a complete guess, but the option should be there.
No, that's not possible at this moment (we only have a vBadvanced CMPS module). vbPortal is paid software and we don't have a license for it, so we can't test with it or create modules for it.
I suggest you to contact someone of vbPortal and ask if they want to code it for you. Normally it's very easy to do, it's just modifying the vBadvanced CMPS module to the vbPortal format.
