Mod Shopping Cart (Download Multiple Mods at once)

[EricaJoy]

So occasionally I'll jump on vb.org and go shopping for new mods and template edits. I never download the ones I'm interested in right as I see them, I just subscribe to them and put them in a folder to go back to later. What I would love to be able to do is add the mods I like to a cart and then go to my shopping cart and download all of them at once. Is such a thing possible?

Grazie Mille!

You could click install then go onto the User CP dropdown menu and click on Installed Modifications

Then I guess you could just download them all from there

Thats basically the same as subscribing to them then going back to them later. I want to download all the ones I like in one big pack.

I know.. its more advanced as it bumps the ones that have been updated since you last downloaded them aswel

Only a suggestion

This is not possible atm, and I can't see it ever being possible.

Bummer. I thought it would be easy since mods are stored as attachments.

I see a few problems with this idea if it were implemented.
INSTRUCTIONS and Edits addon's fixes etc.
We all know most users do not read the WHOLE thread before jumping into the install. And they end up having issues that if they had only read the whole thread would have already known about or seen the post with the updated files fixes work a rounds in it. Not always posted in the first post.
How many times have you read a whole thread and seen 5+ fixes posted thru it that werent ever updated in the authors first post or his attachments? Now what do you do? Try to find that thread and waist the time you thought you saved? lol

Although I do like it I would market it towards advanced users and throw some other additions like scanning the whole thread for other attachments and maybe even taking a screen shot of the pages for later review.

LOL just my useless 2cents.

- I doubt it would be technically easy to implement a multi-attachment download with the way attachments are currently handled in vB.
- It would have to be a selection of each attachment, and not a simple add modification to a cart, as some modifications offer multiple files/versions in the thread.

Well I suggested this some days ago.

I would prefer this function to download x attachments via UserCP - simple for backups eg.
