Did I miss a step?
And also how do I change 5 files to 15?

Simply cant reproduce that issue,
tryed on both apache server, and win2k nt and win2003 servers no luck reproduceing that
specifik problem where the links are blank..

Added options / settings in this version, you can now set the ammount of characters shown
from the title of the files. Also set the number of files displayed.

well you cant, cause this is a widget those for the forumblock is called blocks..
so if you want it in the forum block you have to create a block and "maybe" copy the code
over into the new block, not sure it will work though..

CMS have widgets.
Forum have blocks.

and they dont work together.. [sarcastic] brilliant [/sarcastic]

Beautiful!!

One suggestion: could the category name or abbrev be included? :

Cat X - File Name - Date?

Thanks, pressed installed very hard!

[molieman]

Excellent addition, Thank you

How can I change the date format?

[tazattitude]

Installed. Works great.

I would also like to see the date format changed though.
month/day/year
instead of day/month/year

Looking forward to seeing future versions!

[Vaupell]

Ahh ofcourse, i will make sure the date format change can be set in admin settings
so it suits your site and area..

But for now, in the widget costumization there is a line called

$format = '%d/%m/%y';

you can change that in any way you like, %d = day %m = month %y = year .
I will ofcourse add this to the options panel, it should ofcourse be default
to set date format there..

[tazattitude]

Easy to change....Works like a champ
Thank you!

Still doesn't work... Here is my code:

PHP Code:

$output = date(vB::$vbulletin->options['dateformat']) . "<br />\n"; 


That's all.
