OK, now I understand.

But I don't understand why this is needed. When someone adds a link (without moderation), they immediately see that it's there? How will this extension help? What am I missing? Thanks,

Does this track who clicked on a link?

Like if I wanted to see by forum username how many times the link was clicked and who clicked on it.

Yes, the admin can get a summary of all hits. There are no options for sorting, etc, unless you write a piece of code to process the downloads table in the database

For me links are added by guests.

OK, I'll include this on the list for the next version. Give me a few days ;)

Any more urgent (simple to implement) wishes, anyone?

BIG THANKS! SPASIBO FROM RUSSIA! +)

how about a user can register to a catagory and recive an e-mail when it's updated :)
also if it's posible more detail about the links / files ( when you click on it b4 redirect )

For example :
link/file Name
Author Name
Remote Filesize if it's a file
File Type if it's a file
# Views
# Downloads
Discussion can specify a link in a forum :)
Date Submitted
Rating ( members can rate it
Notify me of any updates on this file ( member can registre to get notified as i said i the top )


Oh my i got carried away :speechless:

So, you want that:

- A user can register to a category and receive e-mail when something is added/updated
- A user can register to be notified of any updates on this file

Taking these plus Cent's request suggests three levels of request
- email me whenever there's a new link I'm allowed to access (including one I create myself)
- email me on any new link in this category that I'm allowed to access
- email me whenever a link/file I've accessed is edited

A change in file size would also trigger the last case (but isn't always possible, e.g. for remote, non-mimetype files)

Cent want this to work for unregistered guest visitors, so the code will have to ask if necessary for an email address

- More detail about the links / files

link/file Name - this is currently hidden to stop leaching, but I suppose there's no harm in a pop-up giving just the local file name, stripped of any directory/web info
Author Name - Already available, just not shown in the template, so easy to add

Remote Filesize if it's a file - Already available for files with recognised mimetype *after * first download. Not possible for remote files accessed using redirects
File Type if it's a file - Already available using the file_icons_dir setting on the admin page (see documentation)

# Views - not sure what you mean

# Downloads - already visible to usergroups with can_view_hits permission, set on admin page

Date Submitted - already there!

Rating ( members can rate it ) - already there, provided you turn on can_rate_link on admin page

- Discussion can specify a link in a forum

I've thought about this for quite a while. The clean way to do this would be to use the forum parent which is used to set the link's access permissions also as the discussion forum for the link. The first time someone tried to discuss a link, a new thread would be created in that forum. The first post in the thread would be a summary of the link. Subsequently, people would simply be taken to that thread.

- Better admin summaries of who has accessed/downloaded what.

Currently, this is just a long list, ordered by date, with an optional start and end date which can be specified on hard-coded links but are not selectable within the admin template

Thoughts, anyone?

well what i mean is
when you click on a link it will open a page with all the information i just listed
in it
and in that information a button that will redirect him to the link ..

so the user can read the file details and then if he wants click on download button to continue with the download.

I mean number of people viewed this link either clicked on it or didn't click on it


Also i have another thing if it's posible
in the information page insted of showing the download link it will show an agreement if hte user agrees it will take him to the file otherwise it will redirect him to the site / forum / or what ever

while this is indeed a great hack, i would like to reiterate was is probably beating a dead horse...

this addition has nothing to do with a files database. it's links. the name is misleading.

i wish someone would do an addon to this hack that includes an uploader.
