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.

I used to use this mod years ago and i have to say its one of the best mods i have used.

Anyways i have a qestion , is it possable to limit some catagorys to diffrent usergroups?

[Bluetiereign]

Does anyone tell me where the total number of downloads is stored. While I only have a few more than a 1000 downloads, it keeps bumping that download number (unique ID) to over 5000 when a new one is added. What value do I need to to change to get this number to reflect the actual downloads in the database ?

I've done a search of the database, but the current number or the next is not showing up.

[squidsk]

The download id is automatically incremented everytime you add something into the download table. So assuming no download has ever been deleted the number will match the total number of downloads. As soon as any download gets deleted the id will no longer match the number of entries in the table. Why do you care if the download id corresponds to the number of downloads? There is no value in having them be equal.

[Bluetiereign]

there is no 'value' as far as necessary to run it. however, I am manually importing some files, and scripting the import of some. it would make my life easier to start from the actual numbers I have to keep everything straight - including the pictures.

What number is being auto incremented please ? I would like to change that number.

Update: Never mind. I downloaded the data from the database, uninstalled and re installed the MOD and back in business with a normal count. Thanks anyway.

A couple of pre download/install questions;
Do we have confirmed 4.1.10 compatibility?
Does someone have an English install I can look at?
Does the Comments editor have the Go Advanced option?

Hello

I hope this is the right forum to ask my question. When not, please dont worry.

At first i say thank you very much for this very good addon.
We take in our Forum the Vers. DownloadsII 6.0.7 with vBulletin 4.1.10.

My question:

is it possible to put a field with the word "version" behind the word "Autor" and "Downloads" (look the picture) or is it possible to rename a static field name to "version"?



or is it possible to put a column "Version" behind "Kategorie" and "Beschreibung"?



Thanks for help.

regards,
linuxbaby

Its all possible but would require customizing the mod, as currently there's no "version" field in the database, so before a version was entered in the display it would first need a field in the database.

[spillage]

I agree with linuxbaby, an Version input field would be great.
Even if it was appended the filename in square brackets filename [V?.?]

Now, back to my questions from post #1776 above.
linuxbaby has indicated that it works with 4.1.10.
Outstanding questions;
1. Does the Comments editor have the Go Advanced option?
2. Does someone have an English site/install I can look at?

Thanks,
