Hi Jordan,

I like your ionFiles component for Joomla. Has been working great for me. Have a few suggestions to improve the component:

• Make the size field more fixed. By forcing user to enter the value in KBytes for example and then display it in the correct format. So for over 1024 KBytes it becomes 1 MByte. Just like most Operating Systems do. In the current implementation I need to check always how I entered the size of the file for other files to make sure it stays consistent.
• Show total number of downloads in the Manage Files overview.
• There seems to be a logging table in the database, however it is always empty. Do I need to enable it or is it for future usage?

Hey Cyspoz, thank you for the suggestions. I will consider them. The logging table is an old table I keep carrying over. It was intended to be an IP table log that prevented download count from increasing for users that kept clicking a file download over and over again.

Better yet...can we not make the file size field automatic? For local files, its a simple matter of checking the size, for links its just grabbing the first part of the stream and getting the size. Its sent on any server supporting HTTP/1.1+ which is just about everything.
