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).

In the Downloads section of your site, I notice Sub Categories aren't list with the text

Sub-Categories:

How can we remove this?

Also how can we add icons to the title of "Latest Files" on the right sidebar of the download section like you have?

Thanks

@RS Jelle

Could you please check if this is possible? Thank you!

Now a question! Is it possible to not allow the upload of files to Parent Categories?
So that a Parent Category is only a category but no repository?

When adding an image, i sometimes get the following error???

>Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9920 bytes) in /home/sXXXXX/public_html/forum/downloads.php on line 963

hi there,...

1. Thank you RS Jelle for this mod
2. It works fine for me on 4.1.2

but i have some questions, i hope im here right

1. is it possible to change the mod a little bit ?!
2. file upload and image (multiply images) should be together (one button for both to upload)
3. is it possible to add custom permissions at the categorys & sub-categorys (for file upload) for user groups ?! (every category & sub-category should have own permissions for file upload)
4. is it possible to add custom thumbs (little images) for every created category ?!
5. is it possible to change the upload/download folder (./downloads) to another root server ?!

Thanks

Hi there!

Before installing it, I have a few questions!

- Is it possible to upload/download files outside the tree of the Web site?
(For example in /var/data and not in /var/www/forum)?

- Is it possible to restrict files downloads to a group / user?

- Is it possible to use the vb builtin attachment feature for the users and DownloadsII only for the administrators?

Thanks!
