vB Version: 4.0.4 Rating: (273 votes - 4.81 average) Installs: 1621
Released: 28 Dec 2009 Last Update: 02 Dec 2011 Downloads: 10464
Supported DB Changes Uses Plugins Auto-Template Additional Files  

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).

Yes, that's on my todo list
Just keep it disabled for the moment if you upgrade your site. Don't uninstall it.

Check your "PHP Max Post Size" and "PHP Maximum Upload Size" values on your AdminCP home.
Have a look at the first post "Help!!! I can't upload large files??" for solutions.

So you want to remove the editor too from the "Add File" page? That's not possible at the moment (except if you escape all editor code, remove WYSIWYG conversion and BBCode parsing etc.).

You mean the authorid field of comments, or the file author (which can be username linked, using the AJAX option)?
Avatars for comments are already planned for a future release. Together with enabling the "edit own/all comments" permissions, which are currently placeholders.

Yes, you need to add it again as both systems are working separately. There's no integration with vB4's asset manager at the moment.

thank you RS_Jelle,

Very nice mod!

Is it possible to change this mod and create new mod and use it beside DownloadsII as a Link Directory or Link Manager?

That's not possible at the moment as the field doesn't exist. In the past we only had the "author" field (without usernames) and then we added username parsing to it. That's cached in the "_author" field and is updated when you edit a file.

As it's possible to add multiple usernames, adding an authorid field isn't that easy. Then we need to comma list them (so join queries would be impossible, you would need multiple queries) or we need to add a separate table for them (which isn't worth it, I think).

I currently have no plans for a link directory/manager

Please can you type here an example of a correct downloads2 working mime?

Thanks again

No, there's no need for attachment icons. We do not use those at the moment.

Just have a look at the attachment mime types, you can copy those
+ You can leave it empty if you are not sure. Then a default one will be used.

For me don't work,
only very smallest images can be addedd clicking "Add Image", and only the first image extension addedd work.

For example, i have addedd the png extension for first, i have tryed to upload a image about 200x80 and is not been uploaded, i have reduced the dimension and the image it was uploaded.
After i have addedd the jpg/jpeg extension, i have tried to upload some jpeg images, but the mod show that only the png files are allowed.

there's a fix?
