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).

I have a question about adding additional information to the downloads.
Is there a chance to get a custom text under "Download" -> see attachment at the red arrow?

We need to place some general download information and a link for a donation.
Is there a way to do this ?

Edit the downloads2_wrapper_side template and place your code below the #pagetitle div.

It works fine

DownloadsII 6.0.4 is mainly a bugfix release. It fixes unapproved files being visible for users without permissions when they know the url. Also some unphrased search text is phrased now. Finally there's now a permission check for the navbar tab, profile tab/stats and postbit stats.

Next to that fresh installs became a bit easier with default permissions.

Jelle

• Phrased some unphrased text at the search page
• Added some default permissions when doing a fresh install
• Added permission check for navbar tab, profile tab/stats and postbit stats

Is this update working with vB 4.0.2 ?

Or only with 4.0.3?

vB 4.0.2 remains the minimum requirement. So it should work fine with both versions

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for permissions for unapproved files! That's a life saver for my modeators.

Thanks to keep it updated =)
I could suggest to keep this mod built-in with vb4 script, i.e they buy it from you or you be one of the VB programers
Then, we will have CMS - Forums - Blog - Downloads like IPS

thanks rsjelle works
but i really hope you can help me with the search features ?
i mean the artist is john doe and i have files of doe john and i search for the keyword john doe it will only diaply in john doe result and not doe john
can you make it so search can display both ways?
it will really ease up alot of users you know because members who upload their files are using their filename in reversed so it will really be hard for users to search the files
