Someone brought this up in another thread, and this is what I have so far.
I think I'm done with the admin interface of it, so now it's only the getfile.php file to code, and that's it.

Anyway, I got some screen shots for you. :)
They're rather big, so I don't want to attach them.

If anyone has any feedback so far, let me know.
What functionalities would you like to see?

Looks good.

Maybe adding permissions to the downloads, so that a specific usergroup can download the files instead of everyone or ppl that has more then 100 posts can download the files. :pleased:

Thanks lesane, I'll think about that. :)

Anyway, I just added support for file groups, so you can now arrange all files in groups.
How neat is that? :D

What's this do?

Impressive, but then why shouldnt it be.
I imagine alot of forums that have special member area's will appreciate something like this.

cool, very neat :D

Yeah... either file groups (so that multiple usergroups can download) AND/OR add a useroption setting their individual file permissions.

We have 7 different "normal" usergroups on our board... being able to only set one per file is a problem.

Maybe a cross-referenced system akin to accessmasks?

Have several different file groups to assign files to... so that one file is part of say, 3 groups...

Then have each user have anther set of file access masks... and set which groups they can access.

If file 1 is part of groups A B and C... and User Chen has permission to download from Group B, he can get the file.

Have both File Permission Groups where you can set broad groups for permissions (Group 1 can download from Files A, E F and G... Group 2 can DL from A C and D, etc) and individual overrides... so someone can be in Group 1, but still DL class B files.

Am i making sense here?

wow, looks like another great hack from firefly!
What I would like to see (If its not implemented yet) is the ability to upload the files (to the server the forum is on) and have the option to give mods the ability to create a downloadable file.
Keep up the good work, firefly!

Cool job, Firefly!

ah... lookin good.. ^^ I already know what id be using this for... :p
