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).

Hiya, a few of my members have noticed that the comments on files are appearing in a haphazard manner...not in date order as normal. Anything I can do to resolve this? Thanks

Does anybody know how to make the mod to upload files in different directories (not the only. By defolt it`s /downloads)?

You need to add extensions that your users are allowed to upload, admincp->downloadsII->extensions.

I have had this working on my site for awhile now and it has worked fine... but now its not working anymore. Users can not download or upload files. In the settings I have everything set to -1 for unlimited.

When people try to download they get the following message. "Sorry! You have exceeded your daily allowed download amount."

When you try to upload anything you get "Maximum Upload Limit Reached."

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

What changes have you made to your site, not necessarily this plugin, recently?

No recent changes at all, which is why I find this odd.

Still down unfortunately, hope I can get it fixed as we have about 900 files in there.

HELLO!!

I have installed DownloadsII and am having a small issue. I am unable to upload an image to the file. I can browse to the image, hit upload and it goes through the motions, but no image is attached. I have checked everything obvious, settings, permissions etc. The Downloads folder is set to 777. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
