Download module?

[Gadgets]

Hi people,

I am currently reviewing vbulletin for a client who is looking to use a forum style system for a support portal of sorts. The only real requirments he is asking for is being able to post downloads, and hopefully a "knowledge base" kind of deal. Now the KB could simply be a read only forum, but the downloads I'm not sure of. I have seen a plugin on vbulletin.org called "ecdownloads". I would imagine there are others. What I'm wondering is if one of you helpful people could point me to a forum site that currently uses such feature so I could see how it is implemented and accessed. This would be of great help.

Thank you
Brian

I'm currently using THIS from vb.org. It can be used for either external or internal links/files, usergroup based access.

Thanks a lot. I was just looking at your site (nice). This is what I needed to know. It appears to me you have more then one area available for upload/downloads? Videos, pictures etc. I am correct in what I am seeing. My client is looking specifically to be able to post CPU Core updates for his product. We think this can be expanded to allow users of the product to upload and share their projects with others as well. Would this kind of arrangement be possible using this plugin?

Thanks for the help

Yep. I believe the current version 2.1.0 also allow user upload. I'm still using an older version, 2.0.5 which doesn't have that feature (too lazy to upgrade at the moment). There are also areas that you don't see, available only for certain usergroups. This script is available for free to all licensed vB members.

This has been a great help. Sounds like it will do what he needs. I have been very impressed by the fast help the users on these forums offer after reading many posts. Looks like a well supported product.

Thanks again, I'll be passing along all the info I have gathered to our client to see what he would like to do.

Have a good one.... in the sun, while I freeze in the snow!
