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).

There are currently no official add-ons. Unofficial add-ons are listed below.

When uploading a file, I get the message 'The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.'

Is there any way of disabling the need to input a message with a file?

Thanks

I can't get mine to do anything, it just gives me a blank error. What can I do to see what is preventing me from uploading files?

Essentially, I can't use this product.

Thank you

External files that are only linked are fine.

Any ideas?

using VB 4.1.5 PL1



Lets hope that support comes soon, Last reply by the author here is Aug 15th. :P

This is still an issue, anyone got any ideas?

Hi and sincere apologies if this has been answered previously. I searched, but couldn't find it...

Is anyone able to tell me where/how I can increase the length of the filename field (ie number of characters in the filename field)?

Within the downloads2_file_addit template, I have changed the 'maxlength to 100 as below:

<div class="blockrow">
<label for="title">{vb:rawphrase dl2_file_name}:</label>
<div><input type="text" class="primary textbox" name="title" id="title" value="{vb:raw newfile.title}" maxlength="100" tabindex="1" /></div>

But this doesn't seem to have made any difference...help please?

Really appreciated!

[Light Peak]

is it possible to indicate unlimited max file size (eg. -1 for no limit instead of "bytes")?

[Marios858]

Hello , in my editor i cannot insert a picture i try the bbcode but it not works.

[SVTdrivah]

Is it possible to limit usergroup upload permissions to only one category as opposed to all?

[Jman423]

Is this mod supported or not? It is marked as such, but I don't see anyone receiving any support.

I know how it works, these are free mods, but if it marked as supported, more people tend to use the mod without fear of it being abandoned... I've used the mod and I can't get it working, nor can I get any support.
