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).

If you want to disable access to this product for certain group, the easiest thing would be is to change downloads2 settings for this group, and then change navbar shortcut permission to deny this group from seeing it.

Hiya, just noticed that the "latest files" are not showing on the Downloads page. They always have been in the past...nothings been changed or added to the forum, but they're not displaying...have checked the settings and all looks normal. Any ideas?

[Greeksgal]

Anyone?

What still is a major letdown for me it's can't have subfolders in the downloads folder. I've used this for a while and its works great. But having everything categorized on the website is a big pro, but on the FTP side it's a big mess with all the files in 1 big download folder.

So is it possible to make a folder in the download folder based on category where you import the files?

I'm not quite sure what your asking,or are you talking about importing.Which you just select what catagory or sub to send your imports too.You could create your own catagory folders on your server and then move the files to the import folder..
