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.

Hi rs_Jelle thank for this mod carnt wait to get it up and running im a bit new to all this so quick question where it says..1. Upload all files from the upload folder to your forums directory. does this mean upload to my server?? any help from anyone really apprieciated.
Thanks:up::up:

P.S As when i try to upload it to my server i can not just upload the upload folder i would have to upload each file individually from the upload folder??

I am using the latest version of this mod. If someone not registered to my site tried to download a file, they get a 503 database error. I upgraded from DownloadsII 5.1.1 using the upgrade script.

This seems to be a problem involving restricting access to certain user groups, I have it set so certain usergroups can't access certain files

You need to upload the content of the upload folder, so it matches vB's default folders (admincp, includes).

This is a known bug and is fixed for next release.

As usual great work Jelle! I will look into using it when it stabilizes a bit further
Keep up the excellent work!

I've solved the issue. I was setting up your account when I decided to just disable addons one by one. The mod that adds extra options on the member action dropdown was interfering with your mod. That might be something to look into.

Thanks a lot for such a great product!
