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).

Have fun

And of course I thank RS_Jelle for updating that module for vB 4

Slight alignment issue. Sorry but I didn't see it addressed in earlier posts and in your demo its working correctly.

Any pointers would be nice.

Just a thought, I have a fixed width of 960 if that makes any difference.

Is this confirmed working with the new v4.0.4?

Looks to be fine, but only have it up on my dev site atm while getting some template issues worked out. So haven't done much real testing.

It's designed like that. My own site is just heavily modded
Some people are using pretty large images, so it would ruin the layout if it was on the same line.

It works fine for me, though I will be releasing a new version for 4.0.4 exclusively after my exams (mostly to include the new CSS template variable).

Would you mind sharing the code?

It should be just the catbit template right?

[Hippy]

Thanks RS_Jelle
looking forward to the new release

[maidos]

would it be possible to set download limits/access more specific at each category
like you would be able to change the usergroup depending on the category

[Rafa-el]

Is possible to add more than one upload box by default?

[Xencored]

in "Downloads' Statistics" i have

We have 19 files in 8 categories.
They have been downloaded 4,294,967,215 times.

And rebuild counters dont make it right mate
any ideas?

Thanks
