That's our biggest plan for the future together with custom file fields (it's mentioned in the first post) :)

WoW!!! That's great mate. Can't waite :)

Option to have the thread created by the uploader or always assigned to the same user account (pros and cons of both ways)
Ability to track which threads where created via DownloadsII

I think this is a great idea that I'll probably spend some time with too.... but it does it complicated quickly!

It can get complicated, no doubt, but I think I am just looking for a basic thread creation for ANY file at this point by a specified user account in a specified forum. Anything above and beyond is just icing on the cake. :)

I think this is a very useful addon as people will be driven to the downloads area by new posts and just adds to overall interactiveness of site.

Thanks!!

Great ideas, We have a release forum so members create the thread manually.

This would help.

Almost done with ver 1.0 of an add-on module to do this. Should be released tomorrow.:)

that's already planned for future releases. I think someone posted how to change it in this thread.

:) Thanks...until now, i didnt even know about the little pic that you could click on to download the file as well lol.

Thanks again.

In the future, I think I'll change that link to go to the file listing instead of downloading the file. With folks setting up daily restrictions on how much can be downloaded, it's too easy for someone to click on that link without realizing that it initiates a download.

Done! I've released it as an add-on module.
