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).

Yeah I know I can edit the templates. But I can't find the right one's. I know how to create a new table row, but can't find out where the tableheader is defined.

downloads2_main

<div class="blockbody">
<table width="100%">
<tr class="columnsort">
	<th class="blocksubhead">{vb:rawphrase dl2_category}</th>
	<th class="blocksubhead">{vb:rawphrase dl2_description}</th>
	<th class="blocksubhead" style="text-align:center;">{vb:rawphrase dl2_files}</th>
</tr>
{vb:raw dcatbits}

This is for the tablerow, but i'm missing the tableheader somewhere.. Maybe i'm blind or something (i'm not that experienced with vb yet!)

How can I move "Downloads" to the LEFT of the "Blogs" on the Nav Bar?

[Mooff]

Plugins ->
DownloadsII: Add a Downloads tab->
Execution Order Use this field to enter the order in which code at the same hook will be executed.
Blogs is 6 i think, so use 7 if you want it on the right side or 5 if you want it on the left side.

Anyone know when 6.0.2 is coming out. I would rather wait for it than install it now just to screw up something attempting an upgrade

Does anyone know if the list of known bugs or suggestions on the first page were ever taken care of?
