Title: [Request/ Feature Suggestion] Custom Sort Fields for TP Download Manager
Post by: WillyP on August 22, 2010, 08:08:25 PM
Link to my site:http://planetdescent.net
SMF version: SMF 1.11
TP version: TP 1.0 beta 3
Theme name and version: Dusky by Crip
Browser Name and Version: Firefox 3.6
Mods installed:

Related Error messages: None

I would like to rename two fields and add two fields to the Download Manager on my site.  And so I thought 'It would be nice to be able to rename/ add fields in the admin area'.

Specifically, people who upload files are not necessarily the authors of the files.  And many of those files were created long ago.  But, the 'Author' and 'Created' sort categories get populated automatically based on the uploader's name, and the date the files were uploaded.

So I would like to change these fields to 'Uploaded By' and Uploaded On'.  Then add two fields that would be populated by the uploader, which would be 'Author or Artist' and 'Created On'.  If left blank, they would default to the name of the uploader and date of upload.

I would also like to see a sort category by game-type, ie: 'Anarchy',  'Single-Player', 'CTF'  etc...  But I think that would be better handled through a tagging system, which is something altogether different.

Willy,

Since Bloc is primarily just doing updates and bug fixes for future versions of TinyPortal, you would be better off posting this over at SMF in his TinyPortal Mod topic --> http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=27642.0

You might get a better response from him and perhaps convince him to add something like this if you ask him about it there.
