DownloadsII
Mod Version: 6.0.9, by RS_Jelle (Coder) RS_Jelle is offline
Developer Last Online: Jun 2013 I like it Show Printable Version Email this Page

vB Version: 4.0.4 Rating: (362 votes - 4.72 average) Installs: 1596
Released: 28 Dec 2009 Last Update: 02 Dec 2011 Downloads: 9827
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).

But I dont understand what do you mean with right menu, the menu is still on the left side... ;-)


The Download link in forum works for me, but it's still empty. Exactly: The test category is in there, but all data from the 5.1.1 ist noch present (but they are in DB and on filespace).

TIA, Jim
It's a community mod, not a professional one. For doing this, you would need to set up 50 categories and 50 usergroups for those access permissions. That's insane

You could use forums for this. Just setup one forum and then use the "Can View Others' Threads" (No) forum permission.

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!
1. Fixed for next release.

2. This seems to be a new bug introduced with vB 4.0.1. The AJAX username suggestion is working nowhere for me (and it did work before). Can you confirm this?
It's the second new bug The profile tab isn't working any more too because they "fixed" a bug with it.

That's a general vB CSS thing, which is used like that on some other vB pages. You need to change the blocksubhead_link_color stylevar for that.

What is the problem?
You didn't follow the upgrade instructions ("Upgrade from DownloadsII 5"). You need to run the upgrade script, which will convert the old product data.

Uninstall the DownloadsII 6 product and follow the upgrade steps.

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
You need to set gif and jpg as File or Both for the usage.
- File: Add file
- Image: Add image (to files, afterwards)

Thanks for responding, RS_Jelle.

Yup, confirmed. The AJAZ username suggestion isn't working on my side either, nor the profile tab. Hope you can figure out some way to fix this.

Hoping that they fix it in 4.0.2 (and don't create any other new bugs)

You mean for vBSEO? I'm not using that myself, so I can't support it. But I know that there's a thread about it at the vBSEO forums.

Or do you mean vB4's default SEO URL system? I will rewrite the member.php URL's correctly in a next version, but I'm not planning a rewrite addition for the downloads.php url's. There's no other mod doing that at the moment, so there's no guide for it (and I'm not going to discover it all by myself ). It's like integrating into vB4's integrated search or asset manager. I'm waiting until there's more information about all those new things.

Anyone give me and Mitch84 a hand please?
See my previous post

Also, I've read all posts and did a "search this mod", and did not see anywhere on what "pinned" and "pin" means. Can you let me know what this means?

Thank you!

I already answered that post: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...&postcount=273

Pin/Pinned means the same as Stick/Sticked (Sticky) at the forums. It means that a file will be at the top of all listed files in a category.

Thanks for updating the mod! I'm thinking to update this mod on my vb4 but i have a question.

I don't have the DII old script files inside the webiste, can I upload the new DII files and run the update.php without uploading the oldest one?

Thanks

Yes, you don't need them. Just follow the v5 to v6 upgrade steps
