Try adding a plugin to the forumhome_start hook location with this content:

PHP Code:

require_once('./includes/class_downloads.php');
$dl = new vB_Downloads(); 


(I didn't test it, but it should work normally.)

The plugin worked great thanks!

Can you give a list of variables we have available once class_downloads.php is hooked into forumhome?

I currently have:

{$dl->stats['files']}
{$dl->stats['downloads']}

working wonderfully. I tried to use: {$dl->stats['bandwidth']} but it seems the bandwidth variable is only used in downloads.php, in the do=stats function.

It would be great if someone could make a true forumhome stats vbulletin mini-product for DownloadsII so that we can display stats like:

• total files
• total categories
• total diskspace used
• total bandwidth
• total contributors
• etc.

I'd love to do it, but my vB plugin writing skills are not up to the task.

Also, I saw mention in earlier posts in this thread (some from over 1 year ago) that version 6 of DownloadsII was "coming soon". Any ETA on the release?

I'd love to donate by purchasing a branding free option, but it seems you said that you must wait till version 6 to offer that.

Thanks for a really awesome vB addon! :up:
