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?
