I've been looking for this but would prefer the code just to add to a widget I make if that's possible. Could that be ok too?

Install the widget and you will see the code.
I need to do the same thing.
I want to see all files in one category as a widget.

But a question for Vaupell,
Is there a way to download the file directly from the link?
I don't want to be redirected back to the downloads section.

As steven said, just install then you can see the code,
reason im makeing it as a product is becourse im including vbulletin options,
i cant add options if its not a product, then each user have to do it manually
and thats not friendly..

Unfortunally vb chose to save widgets as binary, which causes problems with
forums using non-latin text.

And if you install just the widget you WONT get the vbulletin settings with it for costumization
which means it wont work for you!

Do you think about the wideget that shows the Popular Files from categories that administrator in ACP has set ?

For example : Popular Music, Poular Movie and ....

I am using something similar to this to create a widget of specific files to be be downloaded from the CMS.

Since upgrading to the 6.0.5 I now get the error
Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid.

I'm posting this here since the mod is the same except for a different query.

Yes, I have exactly the same issue since upgrading to 6.0.5.

Well, that's good in a way. At least I'm not the only one.
Hopefully I still have version 6.0.4.
