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).

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.
Thanks,
the files upload working, but with the images i have some problems (my previous post).

EDIT:
My error, i have solved the "Add image" with the correct extensions usage!

Hi - It would be appreciated if anyone has insight if this mod would work for the following:

I need to create an private intranet and was considering VB4CMS. We need to post commission reports (PDF's, spreadsheets) that would be private to each user - probably a total of 50 users. Could this mod be used to create sections that are private only to a single user (and the admin of course)?

TIA, Jim

I just downloaded this and installed it but when I click on the download tab on the navigation bar, it opens up a blank page to www.mysite.com/downloads.php but it gives the 403 forbidden error anyone know how to fix this

edit:

I got it to show up but Im getting this message

Tinston, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1.Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2.If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

where do I edit to allow usergroups and to give certain usergroups permission to access the downloads section

RS_Jelle,

Is it possible to add some space (maybe a <br>) after the description ends, so that there is some gap between the description and the buttons given beneath. See screenshot below.



Other than that, in the previous version, when we would want to assign a new uploader, after typing a few characters, the User IDs which started with those characters would appear as a list below. Somehow, it isn't working anymore. I am using Firefox, if it helps. Thanks!

Is it possible in the next release also to change the colour of the uploader's name, as indicated below, so that it becomes visible that it is a hyperlink?

I have update vb3.8.4 to 4.0.1 with Download II 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 (Add-on was dissable). So Downloads II 5.1.1 still stays in the Add-on view on AdminCP and the data (files, righst, categories) ist not present in the 6.0.1.

What is the problem?

Goto Admin Permission and set for you "yes" ^^

Reload admincp and now show top of right menu

I'm having a problem...
I have these extensions set....then work fine.
.eps .ai .cdr .swf .pdf .dxf .svg .aps .tif (I have the Usage of this extension set as 'file')

I have gif and jpg set as image.
But these will not show up as extensions that can be used
.."You may only upload or link to the following extensions: .eps .ai .cdr .swf .pdf .dxf .svg .aps .tif "..

I have the extensions set as 'enabled'
I also have on the control panel "Allow users with permission to view and post images." set to "yes".

Also, admin usergroup is pretty much all "Yes"

What am I missing to get the jpg and the gif images added to the list of can upload ext.

Thank you in advance
