Thanks!! It works now and I really appreciate the help!!!!!!!

Version 2.1 added: author defaults to uploader name if author left blank.

:banana:

this is a bad idea, it should default to "unspecified". otherwise you will end up with a lot of files where the uploader just didn't know and left it blank, then it will seem as though they themselves are the author. the general casual user who comes to the site to download will not be able to tell if the uploader sat there and typed in their name, claiming authorship, or if they had simply left the field blank.

maybe have this be an option that can be toggled behavior. like "do nothing", "default to uploader nick", or "default to unspecified" or maybe have an option in the upload form itself for people like DementedMinds the field starts off with "unspecified" but they have a button to the right they can click which autofills their nick in the box.. or maybe even a setting in their profile that sets whether their name should be autoentered for uploads.

Those are good points ... let me see what I can come up with. BTW - the uploader can always go back and change the author to "unspecified".

thank god lol you da man

but westpointer all of this was already added to the one you posted since thats the same one im running i dont need to upgrade right?

With the custom change I did for you that is correct.

um maybe a feature... would you be able to include something to clear out who downloaded? like if your in admincp and you click on the downloads it shows you everyone who downloaded... im up to page 45 lol and its not lookin to nice it goes all the way across the bottom...

heres a example

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]

hmm seems likes its also posting there name in there 2 times for the same files even me when i only downloaded the files once to test

thankkkk you
