TDMDownloads creates a downloads section where users can download/submit/rate various files. It uses XOOPS permission and group management, thus allowing a great flexibility in use.

It has now been updated to XOOPS 2.5.x Admin GUI and tested on XOOPS 2.5.5 and PHP 5.3.10

Download: XOOPS SVN

Requirements:
- XOOPS 2.5.x
- ModuleAdmin (included in XOOPS 2.5.5 RC)
- PHP 5.2+

Re: TDMDownloads 1.62 RC Ready for Testing on XOOPS 2.5.5 RC

new/popular/update should be changed from Images to CSS styled flags. New/Updated/Popular should be displayed next to name, not bellow.

Version should be displayed next to name, not on right.

MyMenus 1.4 RC instead of MyMenus only.

Weight again and required field ? Let then add and Stones, Pounds etc strange measure units....
Why can't be like News module or WF-Downloads, WF-Links ?

File size required field ? What for there is file_open variable ? Usually this module should take the file size of the uploaded file, and File Size field to be optional for linking remote files.

Latest Lists should be changed to Latest Files; Summary should be removed.
http://xoops.cmsbg.info/modules/TDMDownloads/

Missing option to turn off the auto-renaming downloads (very stupid feature is the one currently implemented). Try to download mymenus.

Missing option to turn off displaying Latest Lists (which should be Latest Files).

Missing option to redirect the comments, instead of making new thread with comments to redirect them to existing forum thread in NewBB/bXpress (since there are no other forums for XOOPS)

Rate option in this way reminds me on Nuke... should be replaced by AJAXified Stars. Also there should be option Guest Users to be able to vote or not.

Downloaded %s time should be replaced by Downloads: %s

File size(bytes): 406 KB on right, how will be in bytes and in the same time displaying Kilo Bytes ? This field should be replaced by File Size: %s.

Since there is not installed TellAFriend module, this field should be not visible.
XOOPS Version: (on right), should be replaced by Platform

Home page on right with click here, should be replaced by Clickable Website/Site.

Category creation should be linked with Directory creation, u can't have thousands of files in one category. In addition, bcz of Kanji, Cyrillic, Arabic etc. Category and Directory creation, must have additional field for naming the category. EXT2/3/4 - don't work with any different chars then Latin.

Improper displaying in Browser tab (select mymenus), the way of displaying should be like this:

Site name : Site Section : Category : File Title

(With such limitations, should be placed on stage Alpha, not RC)

On Transifex? If not, can you provide a link?

But I hope, it's on Transifex

We just need to start keeping all translations in one place...

SF.NET got some problems today
de_DE translationhttp://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/2ZHZSIQZ/German_XOOPS2_mod_TDMDownloads-1.62RC_Mamba.zip_links

Since XOOPS reads everything named even if the folder is named "shit1" under /languages - can we change all those German, French, Bulgarian etc to they're locales ? Will be better for ML XOOPS installations where there is Spanish (es_ES) and Spanish Catalan (es_CA).

Well, these are definitely good ideas for feature enhancements. But within the current set of features, we're testing if they are working as designed.

Once it works, we can talk with the developer(s) about future enhancements.

But I like these improvement/enhancement ideas.

One thing that I would like to see more, is sharing of code/classes/features between modules. If we see some cool feature in one module, the question is: how could we re-use it other modules.

But this needs a new thread - please continue here...

I think, it would make sense. Can you make it a request for 2.6.0? How are other systems doing it?

Re: TDMDownloads 1.62 RC Ready for Testing on XOOPS 2.5.5 RC

in Joomla! is already with locales xx_XX for the selected language
in Drupal is too
MODx too

... and ISO translations must be dropped at all.

to TDMDownloads, how u can call something working when brakes down the whole operation with the module.

Creating Category - Weight (which should be position and even SHOULD NOT be mention in the Category creation form and required ?

And rest cosmetic changes on the front end, they're bugs.
File Size (in bytes): %s is a bug
Site link (to author page is bug)
Downloads: %s is a bug
Rate maybe moved to next release
Tell A Friend to next too
Quote:

Missing option to turn off displaying Latest Lists (which should be Latest Files).

101% bug - there is already Latest / Top / Updated files on the top of the module
1st part is syntax error, 2nd missing way to turn it off.
auto-renaming downloads - 101% bug
Required file size field - 101% bug.
and adding CSS styled buttons instead of images... bug.

I agree with you on this one. I'll also look into other bugs.

But features will have to work to next release, if Mage decides to work on it (or somebody else)
