Since we have a few different forums for uploading things like bots, commands, and other bits of bot codes, a suggestion is to move this kinda stuff to a different source (i.e. not phpBB, but elsewhere on the bot-depot server)

You could use a download management system where users can upload files under categories and sub-categories (i.e. "Commands/Andromeda" and "Commands/White Warrior" etc.) so that bits of downloadible codes could be sorted under which template they're for.

Currently with the forum, all posts about all commands are all thrown into the mix together, and the only efficient way to find them is to use the search function for the template you want commands for, but then you have to go through all the other posts (about errors with the template, etc)

Users could be allowed to create new sub-categories, i.e. so that all bot template creators could make their own sub-categories for their template, but have some moderation so people don't abuse it.

An example of how the categories could be laid out...

This is somthing I've been discussing with eric and the moderators in Club Hel. The attachment mod I've installed is very robust, and allows for upload quotas, attachment type management, permissions by group, etc. I want to stick with it but like you say, there's no list of attachments on the board.

There is an add on for the attachment mod that allows for attachments to be organized and listed:

However it was written to work with an older version of the mod, and doesn't play well with the new version. I'm not a PHP coder so I've requested help with re-writing the add on to work with our board. Anyone who would like to take a look at the add on at the link above and see about getting it to work is more than welcome to do so - I know eric and darkmonkey have been tinkering with it.

Lots of ideas, not so much help...you guys are all developers right? Wink

I'm not a developer, but the work is 90% done for what Cer is asking. The add-on for the attachment mod just needs to be modified so it will work with the current version of the mod and then it will list all the attachments like we need. Surely someone can spend a few minutes trying to get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Smile

I could program an external system in Perl, but since phpBB is, well, PHP, I couldn't help ya out much there. Shocked

First error was a version error, darkmonkey was able to bypass that. This links shows the current error.
