Installed and working under 4.1.5 Patch Level 1
Although this is a great mod (repeat: great mod), it lacks some functionality to keep it more general and usable in different situations.
- possibility to personalize file grid
Actually the file grid has the following fields hard coded: File, Date added, Downloads, Comments. Than it ha s "Sort by" combo. I think that that drop down is useless and all fields should be configured in AdminCP as visible or not in the file grid (possibly in which sequence)
- possibility to personalize sub categories
Actually subcategories are just listed under parent category description but when things get a little bit organized with some many subcategories, their listing should be better organized (maybe a grid or column or tree organization) with info of how many files they contain
- additional file info
What about: "File version", "Licence", "Compatibility", "development status" ... just to list few? In general there should be few personalized fields available to to better tailor file info.
- Rating
What about a rating system like vBMods: Rating ***** (xxx votes - 4.69 average)
- Create thread plug-in should be native to the module
- Forum and CMS block to show download module recent activity should be native
- Top Block showing Pseudo random files maybe with thumbnails should better create community and interest
