I agree. Thats Fixed it, thanks alot!

I'm trying to make a script so that I can count how many files have been placed in the categories... how do I go about doing this? What's the SQL?

I need to get the parent category, then drill down to the sub category and count the files in that... any ideas?

Hi Ron1n

Just installed this to have a play and I've got some suggestions for your consideration ..

Create a CMPS module (Please!!)
When adding a link to a file allow the input of the file size
Have the system show the max upload, as per the servers config files
When editing a file that's a link, show the link in the "Link to File" box
Allow people to create their own "File Information" entry boxes within the admin area
Give an option to choose the amount of Latest and Popular files shown
When a file/link is deleted take it off the persons "Top Contributors" ranking
Allow files to be uploaded via FTP and then listed without having to use the link option
Have the User Info, Latest Files and Most Popular Files sections on the left on the front page to keep consistency

Some of these might of been suggested before but I'm brainstorming here!

The Stats page seems to be buggered for my install .. not sure if this is a bug or something on my forums. Anyone else got a problem?

I got this hack working easily and quickly...nice job.

One suggestion, we like to link to the download on the owners site rather than upload gigs of files to our server. Some of the extensions of those downloads look like this:

.download.asp?fileid=95

Or something similar. Unless I put that entire phrase in the "Allowed Extensions" area in the admincp, it will not work. I suggest allowing any type of extension in the link area if that is possible.

Other than that, great job!

I'd release the changes, but lets' wait to see what version 3 looks like. All of my changes may have to be corrected for version 3.
I've removed the file till I hear from Ron1n. Sorry

But here's the CMPS Module for this version. It's small and easy.

Thanks for the module .. it works just as it says on the tin! ..
