Download Plus w/Thumbnails  Bottom

  • Okay, I'm using Downloads Plus (because of the ease of adding new files/directories... So Sue me :P ) anyway is there any way to add thumbnails to the downloads.

    Yes, I know that there is UpDownloads that has this ability but I am worried that if I change that there will be no way to import my nearly 500 files from DownloadsPlus to UpDownloads.

    So can anyone help me?
    (yes I know it's a real long shot getting any help) :(
  • i just started playing with DownloadsPlus once i find out how there saving the data for the downloads as from what i can see they have both files and mysql i will add in a field that will allow u to enter a URL that will be used as the thumb nail ^_^
  • ok, that would help me a great deal :) if you would post how you'd go about doing it that is :D
  • Hi

    Sounds like I need to set up a CVS for DL+ so that we can co-ordinate the patches.

    Adding a field to the DL+ database will involve a number of changes to the code across a number of files.

    You will need to check all the SQL actions to ensure that the additional field will be recognised, and that any output to HTML is consistent.

    If you do make any changes please let me know what version / archive you have adjusted so that I can try to include them in the next release.
