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.

10 MB file and php.ini is set correctly the error code is in a VB frame itself and not a server error. Permissions are also correct and have been working the same for years.

Anyone know how to add image bbcode button? Has video and everything else

[dizzynation]

Somehow my Images for the files have disappeared - As you can see on the left, it is only the title



Any help for a fix would be great

Hey there, I installed this add-on but don't have the "download" tab. Everything is configured in user group permissions and etc but there's nothing available in the navigation manager. Someone suggested just adding it but then I'd be missing some of what appear to be built-in quick links? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...4&d=1262005598

Any idea why the tab is no where to be seen?

What version of vB4 are you using?

[korindabar]

Hey there! We're on 4.2.2

[ozzy47]

Then you need to create the tab with the Navigation Manager. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2168

Thanks!

The downloads area on my forum it's now at full speed. For now only members can see it.

It's possible to have categories for members and other categories for all users?
