IDEA FOR THIS HACK:
Instead of just uploading files, is it possible to download from a link instead?

If you want to post files with links to downloads, you want this hack/mod. It does a good job of what you want. :)

Edit: By the way, thanks for working on this, Ron1n. I had made my own thing like this because nobody had one, but with the proposed updates (multiple screenshots is what I'm looking for, maybe along with multiple "versions" of files for a single entry), yours will be better than what I have right now and I'll be sure to switch to this system. Right now I use attachments to display multiple screenshots, but this creates a huge reliance on the database.

Yes, now works! :)
But not with CANUPLOADFILES but with CANMANAGEFILES.

Now i missing only the Link Downloads, then this script is for me perfect! :)

It says the add_category phrase doesn't exist or something :S

Also when I try and download a file it sends me here /forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1&act=down and says it does not exist.

Hi,
is it possible, that the Hack read out directorys?
I mean, i will upload files with any extension (rar,zip,pdf) via ftp to a directory (name of category/Subcategory) and the script shows the files.

Sorry for my bad english

I think, thats save Time by uploading an Editing files/Descriptions.

hey, i'm having another problem...the downloads.php page doesn't seem to be working..all i see is this ->

vBDownload Area ©05 JackPolgar.com

it seems that if a user know the direct url of the file eg. www.domain.com/download/files.zip, they can download. So not much point implement usergroup restriction since anyone can download if they know the url.

But you can chance the dir name in something like "download_48464_awes".
This nobody can know. :)

Edit: But dont forget to edit your settings

will a link feature be added coz i have some larger files already uploaded to my site and its easy to use a link feature rather then the only option of uploading them all again

Yes same request here, I also have multiple files that already upload in my back up server and I dont feel like to upload all these file again in webserver anymore. It will be koo if we have a link feature added.
