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).

Thank you very much.

I hope if script use ajax comment and rate function would be better I think.

Works great! One little note: you use two phrases for the word "Downloads": dl2_downloads and downloads2. One word "Downloads" has several uses. "Downloads" as a name of the product, this is one use (noun, singular). Amount of "Downloads" - another use (noun, plural). This makes it hard to translate.

Thanks! Is there any chance to add them soon? Like within next couple of months?
Even as a Paid mod like Downlaod II pro.
I know IPB Download manager has most of them already in their new version.
So if you made them even as a paid plugin that will be great!

I for one really appreciate your work, and this is awesome that you pushed this out this fast. Thank you very much.

Should we assume this won't run on vbulletin 3.8.x?
