Can you tell me the bugs have you solved on Mydownloads Pro? I'm trying to improve it.

I tried to, but I dropped it.

The code looks to be written by several different persons
with different understanding on how XOOPS should work.

The person who added the last stuff seems not to have understood smarty at all for example, if you look at submit.php you can see it has a template but its not used

It uses it's own configuration of mime-types instead of using php built in model and it's depends on the file tags to conclude a type and trusts the user to give the right size of the file.

This is all and good if you are gonna provide links to another site where that webserver is going to provide this information to the client, but its not good enough when you want to store the data localy (at least not to me)and serve
it through the php-scripts.

So what am I doing?

I'm building my own module, I've already gotten upload and download to work, with automatic mime-types and filesizes, what I'm doing right now is figuring out how to make it conform to xoops, and thats not so easy with the current documentation and differently written modules.

I have been reading the Wiki documentation on building a module, problem is that not even the "core" modules abide the rules as I see it. Rigth now I'm trying to find a module or documentation to provide me with the "true way" to make it work in a fully configurable XOOPS manner, and that takes longer than just putting the actual code together

There isnt even documentation on how to connect the MySQL database into it, it seems the rule is "read the friggin code" which would be well if people coudl stick to one way of coding

But I'm getting there and I'' try it out for a while.
BTW, I'm not writing a link module, mydownloads works fine for that. My goals a re a bit different.

* All files stored locally on server.
* User manages his/her uploads.
--* version
--* categories
--* permissions
--* screenshots
--* licenses
* Database will take care of filehandling, that means no
direct linking will be possible, everything will be
handled through php. That also means same filename can
exists as a download any amount of times.
* I will be scanning the files for viruses, exactly how
that will be done I havent yet decided.

Anyways, thats where it stands right now, with me looking at how I can get this into a XOOPS module.

I believe the author of this version of mydownloads Pro actually had taken my first RC1 of this module and it was very much incomplete to say the least, hence the reason why much of this module looks unfinished.

It also seems that we are doing pretty much the same thing with this module thou.

Regarding your point on the array > 0, I will have another look at this and I will have another look over my code. But I still believe it is incorrect (then again, I am normally always wrong lol).
