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).

Thanks

There is no import mechanism from other mods, except for a raw file import, but this will lose any settings from the other mod. You could of course write you own import script to import from vBadvanced Dynamics

Works just fine on 4.2, except you do not get the navigation tab and need to add it manually. Although I can confirm it work on 4.2.1 from the list of changes there doesn't appear to be any changes that would cause a conflict. Try it on a test server and go from there.

Good mod!

However, there is still an issue with rating menu. The starts overlap with rating name...

anyone got a solution for that??

Is that on an unmoddified default style or a custom one?

both default and my own style have the same issue.

I was trying to modify the css so that it becomes the same as the built-in vb, but no good result so far...

A few pages back I posted the fix for the rating issue.

I couldn't find it so I'll post a fix again.

Go to the download2.css template and find the rule:

.popupbody .rating {
	display:block;
	padding:{vb:stylevar popup_padding}px;
	padding-{vb:stylevar left}:{vb:math 2 * {vb:stylevar popup_padding} + 75}px;
	background:transparent url({vb:stylevar imgdir_rating}/rating-15_0.png) {vb:stylevar right} center no-repeat;
}

And make the change in red on the background line.

That's the page I posted to.
If you look from there on you'll find it. And I believe another fix

Thanks a lot. I found it before you posted this post....

I added some css at the beginning and got messy... so I decided to use firebug to know the div or span details...

Thanks a lot.

That was very useful
