Hey guys!
I just love this hack. It's probably the most important feature on my site. I do have some things I would like to see in a possible next version. I hope you guys could take a look at it and comment whether it is doable.
1. Option to put the download in the profile of the Author instead of the person who uploaded it. I add a lot of files on my site which are made by others. I have nothing to do with those downloads but when the Author isn't a member on my site, I can't assign him as the uploader and the download appear on my profile and people will think I've made it. So I would like to have an option which you can set to automaticly put the download on the profile of the Author's name and if he doesn't exist than don't put it on anyone's profile.
2. Option to use the Author's name for the person who uploaded it. I add a lot of downloads made by others but I'm always so decent to use the "Assign Uploader" option and fill in the name of the Author so it appear on his profile. Isn't it possible to have a checkbox with "Use the Author's name as uploader" when you add a download? This will make it a lot easier and takes less time.
3. I know there is the option "Sort by Weight" and it's very usefull but I would like to have some categories sorted by weight but some alphabetically. Unfortunately, this isn't possible.
4. Another neat option is to show or hide sub-categories. I know you can hide them on the main page and on the category page and I've got them both turned on. But... I have some categories on which I really would like to show the sub-categories. These categories are in a third or even fourth category. So I would love to see that you can select "Show sub-categories" for some pages.
That's basicly it. I hope you guys could take a serious look at these extra features and hopefully you can add them in the next version. By the way, if you would like to have a demo site which has a well-filled downloads database please let me know. My downloads center has 676 files in 121 categories and 185,487 Downloads. A lot of the downloads has a screenshot added so it looks really awesome when checking a category and you see all those thumbnails.
Thanks again and regards,
Bozza
