Good job! ;)

Only a template needs to be fixed :

replace the contents of downloads_memberfiles_bit

HTML Code:

<tr>

 <td class="alt1">

  <a href="downloads.php?do=file&amp;fileid={$file['id']}">{$file['name']}</a>

 </td>

 <td class="alt1">

  $smalldesc

 </td>

 <td class="alt1">

  $date

 </td>

 <td class="alt1">

  $downloads

 </td>

</td>

with this

HTML Code:

<tr>

 <td class="alt1">

  <a href="downloads.php?do=file&amp;fileid={$file['id']}">{$file['name']}</a>

 </td>

 <td class="alt1">

  $smalldesc

 </td>

 <td class="alt1">

  $downloads

 </td>

  <td class="alt1">

  $date

 </td>

</tr>

Thanks, I fixed it, it will be included in the next release ;)

Thanks for your work!

For the downloads_cat_subbit template, in the subcategory listing table cell, it uses nowrap="nowrap". I think you should remove that, since when there are lots of categories this causes them to be on a single line and results in a horizontal scrollbar.

original:

HTML Code:

<td class="$bgclass" valign="middle" align="left" nowrap="nowrap">

<span  class="smallfont">{$sub['desc']}$subcats</span>

</td>

suggested change:

HTML Code:

<td class="$bgclass" valign="middle" align="left">

<div  class="smallfont">{$sub['desc']}$subcats</div>

</td>

Another suggestion, for the next release, can you make the download link a button? This way it's more obvious. Also, how about allowing a file to have multiple download mirror links?

Back on the old ecDownloads thread, someone had posted a new template that had the download button in the bottom right corner and it was a big button. If you posted that, could you please repost it!

Thanks!

Currently I make the download link size 16 and replaced the decending icon before it with this generic download icon I found on Google images: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/07/11.gif. It's very easy to notice the link now. :) Another template change I made is make the category names bold. Looks better this way and more consistent with my forum looks.

Good to hear that!

Here are some more feature suggestions and questions:

Report bad file or broken link
Ability to add new fields in the control panel would be nice. For example, I want to have a "Forum thread" field to link to exisiting forum discussion for the file. Also a field for version number and a field for file requirements.
On the page that lists the files in the categroy, it would be nice to also show the Author, perhaps make it it's own column so people can sort by author too. If not its own column, something like Author: {} File Size: {} below the short description would do too.

Is there a way to add the author info below the short description currently?
Any plan to improve the search page so people can search within a certain categories?
How can I change the subcategories list so it's not italic? I looked in the templates and the php file but couldn't find it.
It would be nice if when people update a file with a new version, the old version gets deleted. Right now I think the old files remain undeleted.

I have played with the script for a day or two and am very impressed! :) It's very easy to use and has most features I need. The assign uploader feature is nice.

Keep up the great work! :up:

Have a look at /includes/class_downloads.php and search for <i> ;)

Version 5.0 is almost completed and we want to release it as fast as possible. So it will be mainly a bugfix/cleanup release. The next version will be focused on some new features :)

Cool thanks. :) Look forward to it!

Another quick questions:

- how can I re-arrange the navigation links?

Looks like there is a bug with the rating system. I selected A but the system recorded A-.

I keep getting this when tring to upload a file...

The upload failed! Upload error.

How big was the file? Can you post a screen shot of the error?
