This hack looks extremely promising.

Here is a feature request - the details of which are based more on the final page display of the attachments.

It would be nice to have the ability to add custom fields (including column headings) associateed with the attachment file.

An example would be to output the attachments in a table with custom columns ie. "Date Released:", "platform:", "Version:", "Details:" - such as the ability to load a javascript window containing release notes etc.

Can't wait until it's finished!

Very promising FireFly! :up:

A quick set of questions though, which I wasn't able to deduct from any of this: how will the downloadable files appear, exactly, on the forum? where? And can the list of files be sorted in groups? And finally, can they be listed on non-vb pages?

Y'see, this hack would be a great extension to my wallpaper page. I could upload the (links to the) wallpapers* and have them listed somewhere on the forum, but since I deliver all my wallpapers in 5 resolutions (640x480 to 1280x960) I'd really like to be able to group them by resolution, and only make one group appear (so that the last 5 files listed won't be just one wallpaper in 5 reso's, but the last 5 wallpapers in one reso).


* = My current set of wallpapers is 23 MB large, 27 different wallpapers in 5 reso's. Adding 23 MB to my forum's database just to get one advantage (having people register before they can download the files) is just not worth it, to me.

hey firefly,
small request from me.. make it so it monitors the stats on it.. just simple.. like d/l count.. ? ;)

also.. btw great job on all the stuff you do.. you need to take a break man.. hehe

cool.

nice :D

How is the progress going? I don't mean hasty but... I remember you've said that you would try to release it before xmas, and now is New Year already, any problem?

Can't wait for this to be released!

Keep up the good work buddy!

Any time frame?

Your teasing us too long ;) :D

i want it! :D

When will this be released?

I have sadly stopped working on this :(, but someone else took over, don't worry. :)

Whew...I'm glad someone else picked up the torch, I get the feeling this is going to be a pretty popular hack! :)

Who took over, and when will it be released?

I wouldnt be surprised if you dont find out until its released.

I also wouldnt be surprised if Firefly is still working on it with help from others, andor, the release date is not known.

From what it looks like, this hack isnt a simple one, and as far as we know, the admin side has been completed.

Just sit tight.

merk, trust me I don't have the time right now to finish this hack... and yes the admin side of the story is done, only the file getting part is left (which became a bit harder with all the permissions).

Fair Enough ;)

I know the feeling :\

Is this still a work in progress? Or is it dead?

i sure hope its not dead....

yeah, I want to see this get done. :D

Is this still going to be released? I really could use this right now :D

I sent the code to someone a while ago... I don't have any idea what happened with it.

well, whoever has it... can you please post it? :)

Looks good firefly!! Great hack! :classic:

lol...ppl want it, can you atleast reveal the person taht took it oveR?

he may not go for it if you ask him that way. try saying "please?"
:p

Not in my hands anymore, people...

:(

And it looked so good!

Satan

I hope it still gets released :p

Chen, please reconsider completing this, please. This is a big requested add-on.

O yes...I hope the code comes back!

I would, but I no longer have the code.

Any possibility of having this person release the code for someone else to finish it?

If I could only remember who I sent it to... :/

*telepathically jerks chen's memory in the hope of a flahsback*

Hmm the code seems to be now in the hands of an evil scientist.. what will become of it?? :eek:

Chen, with your God-given talent in coding, surely you can whip out a new download add-on in a short amount of time. ;) I have faith in you!! You can do it!!!

***waves hand for Jedi mind trick***

You *WILL* code this add-on.

:classic:

:ermm:

Give into the dark side Firefly, you know you want to. ;)

lmfao at the darkside ....

Firefly, I think that you've done an job so far and I'm completely impressed so far of what you've done.
I hope the mystery coder you sent it to will take it up and finish it. But till then, thanks for the tease ( ')_(, )
