I've been developing MyDownloads (not as a MyPlaza Turbo module anymore) again.

I've added new features, fixed bugs and improved things.

New features:
  • Sub-Categories. (sub-sub-sub...). It works in a similar way to MyBB categories and forums.
  • Added a new permission setting to categories (Which user groups can submit downloads?).
  • License in downloads.
  • Users can submit downloads.
  • If MyPlaza Turbo is not installed, works perfectly without it. (of course) If it's installed, you can still set a price/cost for the download.
  • Download submitter is shown in the download page.
  • Administrators must approve new download submittions.
  • Users can now enter a version for the download if they want.
  • Images are displayed just like attachments (the module version was different)
  • Uploading process of downloads is similar to the upload process of attachments. (better security)
  • Added bread crumb.
  • Added new settings which allows administrators to choose if HTML, MyCode, IMG tags or Smilies are allowed in 'Downloads/Categories descriptions', 'Download comments'

(You have 17 settings at your disposal)

Improvements:
  • Things are faster (runs less queries per page and I've recoded some things to make it faster)
  • Improved security.
  • Improved templates and bits of code here and there.

Fixed a fair amount of minor bugs.

(Note: this was requested by chriscom and he wants this plugin to be available for Gold subscribers only, thus it will only be available for Gold subscribers only).

Comments and critics are welcomed! But please, don't start a new discussion regarding paid plugins.

In the works
  • Search for bugs
  • Finish a few minor things like bread crumbs here and there and re-write some language strings.
Looks awesome.
Quite a few settings to choose from.
Very nice! Definetily the prettiest download page plugin I ever saw.
Will subscribe this summer for sure!
