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).

Hi !

I have added some extensions in ACP, but when trying to upload a jpg file, i get the following error:

"You may only upload or link to the following extensions: "

Does not show any file accepted....

1. I have already double checked if the extension I'm trying to uplod is set in ACP.
2. I have already checked if the file extension is not in CAPS

The point is, when editing jpg extension, I have put it to "both" in Usage of this extension, and it worked....i was able to upload the jpg file, but when its set to IMAGE, not.

Any clue?

Hi

Great mod, I have just uinstalled it on VB4.1.9 suite without problems. Thank you for your work!

This may have been covered but, I have a scenario where I have document (pdf's) that may be downloaded by members, the author is perfectly happy that they are the there but, was rather wondering if a checkbox could be added that asked the user to comply with the copyright conditions (he has been burnt before), the obvious being that if they do not agree then no download.
This will not, of course, prevent abuse but at least it would record that they had seen and agreed to it.

If it has got "Last X Updated Files" widget, could be superb.

Hi, I installed this mod and its great, but does anyone know how to make the thumbnail image bigger? I uploaded a file and then uploaded a picture but it is to small... Am I missing where to change the thumbnail size? If it has to be manually changed/coded where would I start? I don't want to start editing templates and files if I totally missed where to do it.

Thanks
