Project: ionFiles - Joomla Simple File Download

[Jordan]

Hey Polyvios_s,
Thank you for replying! You have a lot of good ideas. I'll list what I think here:

1) This is planned for the next version and already on the "todo" list.

2) This is already part of the current version. You can read how to do it in the main post (the starting thread) and I intend on making instructions for it as well. I might even add a FAQ to ionFiles for each install. Also, put your mouse on "Downloads" in the menu above and then hover over "Community". Another menu will appear, these are all separate links to individual categories.

3) I like the idea. I'll have to add some more options but I think this is a good feature. Added to "todo" list.

4) I've added this to the "consider" todo list. Using this feature would override the users custom icons.

5) I like the idea. The only thing I could offer would be scanning the files, generating size and the download link. They would need a title, description, etc. Added to "consider" list.

6) I like it. Added to todo list. Webmaster will be able to enable this feature per file and when the user clicks download will be taken to a disclaimer page before download. I know a global option may sound better for you but many would like it on a per file basis rather than for all files.

7) This is actually part of your Joomla! theme. You can customize it already but I'm unsure how to add a feature such as this and make it work for every Joomla! theme out there.

8) Basically the ability to prevent leaching?

Thanks for all of your input. If you have any more suggestions I'd love to hear them. I've made the "todo" list public and you can view it here: ionFiles Todo List

What is Joomla?

[Jordan]

Joomla! is a CMS. You can read about it in this thread: What is Joomla?

Vist CodeCall Programming to see it in action and visit Joomla! to download it and read more.

Oh yes - that thread was mine, wasn't it? I remember it clearly. To think, there was ever a time when I had no clue what Joomla! was...

HI Jordan,
congratulation for Ionfile it is fantastic.
I am an absolute beginner so please be patient.
I have installed ionfile without problem ant it works great.
The only thing was that the "up button" (when the description of the file was on) was not showed.
In addition can you advice me how I can reduce the font size of the desciptions like "Product Size Downloads Date etc".
Thank a lot in advance
Angelo

PS mod_ionfiles_popular works only in legacy mode for joomla 1.5x?

[Jordan]

Hey Angelo$, I don't understand your problem. Can you give me a link to your website so that I can see or a screenshot?

Also, ionFiles works in Joomla 1.5, 1.5 legacy and 1.x.

Hey Jordan,

A little feature request here. Would be nice to have the option to add a link to a changelog. I have no need for posting the changelog with the file but to able to put in a link to a central changelog would be cool. Basically like the application URL but then for the changelog.

Any chance of making it to the todo list?

Your work is appreciated.

[Jordan]

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for.

[rolandd]

I must have been tired Let me try to explain it again. When I add a new file, I would like to have an input box where I can fill in a URL that points to the changelog of that file. In the front-end the user will see a link named Changelog. Clicking on this button will take the user to the changelog of that file which in my case is a wiki page.

The application URL works the same way for example but takes me to the URL of the application.

Hope this is clearer
