Thanks for looking into that. I don't want to inconvenience my visitors so have never required them to register in order to download files.

BTW, a requested feature from my members is to make the member files section in the profile page to show the file's category. I tried putting {file[category]} but this only prints the category number. :tired:

Found a very minor bug in the template...

In the downloads_memberfiles_bit template, the link

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

should be

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

Alright, I searched all over the place to figure this out and now I have to ask.

I made it all the way through the install and it went fine. Added permissions to groups, changed the settings, added a category. But there's no instructions on how to use it... I can't figure out where to create a download :s

Pardon my ignorance, but could somebody point me in the right direction?

You have to add downloads using your site, you can't add them using your AdminCP. Click on the "Add" link in downloads.php (like on this screenshot) ;)

@HappyPike: I will take a look at your bug report. I'm not using it on the member page, ... so I didn't test it yet. I will do it now :)

It was actually finding downloads.php that I was having a hard time with :confused:

Now I'm just trying to sort out what kind of condition I can make to show the link to downloads.php in a users cp if they belong to a particular group.

Actually, it would be nice to be able to show a link if they belong to any group that is allowed to view downloads. If anyone has any experience with this, your help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Right now, the sql in the plugin doesn't pull the category name. I'll consider if we can fit that in okay. I'll also fix the bug you reported with the link.

Both, the default view pushes out by a couple of hundred pixels, as do all that include the side panels. The "add file" tables only break it by 30 or 40 pixels as that page doesn't have the side panels.

I'm also having problems with the "daily allotment" feature, as registered members and even moderators are getting the over limit message. I don't allow unregistered guests to download and the allowed usergroups all have -1 in the limit box to allow unlimited downloads yet they are still getting this message.

okay, we are discussing what we can do for sites like yours that run a tight fixed width. We'll probably give you an option to move the "Tops" (side panel) information to the top.

Go into the usergroup settings for those groups and simply resave the settings. I think that will fix the problem.

Or, a quicker way would be to rebuild the bitfields: admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields. I think that will fix it also.
