Add-on Downloads System

[Matthew2D]

I really can't believe nobody has made a downloads system for XenForo yet. I want it to have categories, grid listing, featured download, star rating, top download authors, and comments.

Probably because of the impending release of the Resource Manager.

Yeah, but how long is that going to take? And it's obviously going to cost money

A well made download system should cost money too, just saying...

 

[DRE]

use Www.xfgeek.com shop addon as a downloads system.

 

[Matthew2D]

It's $60. I don't have that kind of money right now. XD

 

[DRE]

Sell something.

 

[Matthew2D]

LOL. I don't have anything to sell...well i have a LOT of domains...Anyways I don't think it lets users submit downloads.

 

[DRE]

Yes it does if you add them to the sellers usergroup

 

[X_Plaza]

Nobody can do that ?

There is a very good and powerful Download Script that is Free and it can be configured to just about any setting you like...
It is an old script last updated in 2009, but why alter something thats working great as it is I say...
One down side is it looks very vBulletin-ish.. The script is called PHCDownload by phpCredo it can be installed manually or by its own airs installer..

Someone could no doubt make a login bridge for xenforo..

Regards...

 

[Matthew2D]

Know another one?

The RM would not replace something like Downloads II.

 

[TheBoss]

In my humble opinion PHCDownload is far superior to Downloads II even taking into account its not a plugin or addon, which is my personal preference anyway as it makes any restore after a hard drive failure at the data center a lot easier. And yes you guessed it by that last statement it did happen to me..
