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).

That would depend on where you wanted them to appear on the page.

I need to add it to all the files in my downloads section. So that members can share that page in Facebook. Any idea how to do it?

[squidsk]

Yes, but where on that page would you like the buttons to be.

You'll be editing the downloads2_file template if editing the template directly, or use one of the template hooks (my recommended method) as the entry point. Again where in the template you edit is determined by where you want the stuff to appear on the page for the file.

I need it to be appear at the right side after the title of that file. When sharing using facebook share button, I need the name of that specific file to be appeared as the description. How to use a template hook to do this?

[The Wedge]

Anyone know why some of my files upload fine but when I go to download it only downloads a small 4kb file? It worked fine forme with a 150mb file but not the case for my users.

If you have access to your MySQL tables, run this MySQL command:

UPDATE dl2_main SET `downloads` = 0

Worked for me.

Hey guys, this is probably fairly easy to fix...



As you can see, the downloads are located at the first highlight for some reason instead of next to the actual "Downloads: " text, any idea on how I can have this fixed? I already tried doing it myself in the downloads_postbit template but had no luck. Thanks!

[Hippy]

the easiest way it to add a <br /> at the end of the post thanks template or at the began of the downloads template..
when I get home I'll check my templates to see what I did and where .
but I think this is all I did
