Suggestion - File Library Implementation

[Neil Washbrook]

Just bought and installed the Links Directory and I am very impressed :)
Ability to upload a file to an automatically created sub folder off that directory and generate a URL for it
Ability to check for file types allowed - zip etc
Ability to add an associated thumbnail to it
Counter for Number of Downloads
Ability to prevent hot linking to file from other sites
Ability to limit file sizes



Thats basically it - in my hunt around I have not found anything that comes close to it and would pay good money for it. The last couple of points are nice to haves. My guess is the majority of the code to achieve this already exists in the main vBulletin functions but I am not a PHP programmer .

Just a thought

Like vBadvanced Gallery? :confused: http://www.vbadvanced.com/products.php?do=productinfo&p=5

Possible but its a bit difficult to tell from "a features page" It did cross my mind that feature would be similar. Couple of key points could be dealing with fairly large 200mb+ files, the ability to store on hard disk as opposed to within a database.

Maybe this thread is better scraped and moved to vbgallery presales

Yeah, Gallery stores files in the file system... And as long as your server settings are set up to allow large uploads, it shouldn't be a problem. I've have 100+meg uploads. Plus, the user can use FTP (if you set up an FTP account for that user) to upload files as well.

There are links to the user and admin cp demos listed on that features page as well. ;)
