thank you but why not includ the url for file? th's give only the name of file et not the url

sorry for my bad english

Added to suggestions/ideas

thank you ;-)

Cool!

As a suggestion - perhaps include the thumbnail images of them? Or allow folks to display thumbnail of the first X in the list?

Oh, it doesn't actually link to the file?

It does now! :p just uploaded a updated version

how can i increase number of caracters of file's name? (letters)

well in your cms wigdet panel, click configure for the widget
find the line

$title = substr($getdls[title], 0, 15);

and change the number 15 to the ammount you want.

It doesn't work at all. Just shows the date: "20.01.2010"
Did I miss a step?
And also how do I change 5 files to 15?

Simply cant reproduce that issue,
tryed on both apache server, and win2k nt and win2003 servers no luck reproduceing that
specifik problem where the links are blank..

Added options / settings in this version, you can now set the ammount of characters shown
from the title of the files. Also set the number of files displayed.

how can I make it apears in the forum's side widjets ?

well you cant, cause this is a widget those for the forumblock is called blocks..
so if you want it in the forum block you have to create a block and "maybe" copy the code
over into the new block, not sure it will work though..

CMS have widgets.
Forum have blocks.

and they dont work together.. [sarcastic] brilliant [/sarcastic]

Beautiful!!

One suggestion: could the category name or abbrev be included? :

Cat X - File Name - Date?

Thanks, pressed installed very hard!

Excellent addition, Thank you :) :)

How can I change the date format?

Installed. Works great.

I would also like to see the date format changed though.
month/day/year
instead of day/month/year

Looking forward to seeing future versions!

Ahh ofcourse, i will make sure the date format change can be set in admin settings
so it suits your site and area.. :D

But for now, in the widget costumization there is a line called
you can change that in any way you like, %d = day %m = month %y = year .
I will ofcourse add this to the options panel, it should ofcourse be default
to set date format there..

Easy to change....Works like a champ
Thank you!

Still doesn't work... Here is my code:
That's all.

Duhhhhhh LOL..... Should of seen that :) :) :)

Thank you!!!!

Can somebody post here what should be in the widget customization by default? Please. I am struggling to make it work.

Any chance you could make one for Forum Blocks please.

Thanks.

Hello
It is also possible that part of the incorporate in the Sideblock
Thanks
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx
Hallo
Besteht auch die Möglichkeit diesen Teil in die den Sideblock einzubauen
Danke

Added to vbsettings in this version see screenshot.

could you explain a little further what the problem is ?

Done - here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=235596

Do you think about the wideget that shows the Latest Files from categories that administrator in ACP has set ?

For example : Latest Music, Latest Movie and ....

I'm also only getting the date in the latest files widget as well as the most popular files widget. Looking at the PHP code when I click the configure link for the widget, the only thing it looks to be outputting is the date.

Should there be more code in there or is it pulling more information elsewhere?

It does not work for me! I got security token error!

This mod should not give security token error, it does not use send,get or post methods.
There must be some other conflict, this is plain old php database fetching,
and displaying through template.

YOU CAN UPDATE FOR vbadvanced CMPS

THAN X YOU

Just take out this part of the code in the cms widget for the mod.

Find

&act=down

remove that and it should work.

I think there is an error.

Files that are not yet approved, but it seems the widget.

Thanks.

How to remove php image from widget?

Thanks
