I have a need for users to share their own images and files and this plugin was very close to what was needed. Rather than make a fork, I added my changes as options so that anyone can decide what combination of features they want. I hope that these will be welcome additions, although I am completely new to Ruby on Rails and there may be some issues!
Changes:
Optionally show thumbnails on lists (the first attachment with a valid thumbnail is used)
Optionally render attachments before the content section of articles (useful when files are more important than the content field)
Option to have one large article page rather than using tabs (usability)
Option for article breadcrumbs on index lists (usability)
Category icons can be created using CSS for index page
Show article summaries on lists if summaries are enabled
Added rating and author columns to category lists
Prevent tags with spaces from splitting across lines and make more legible
Added "Unrated" label for articles with no votes
Show existing attachments on article edit page
Search summary field (important for users who use this field)
I have also fixed a number of the outstanding issues for the project.
Known issues:
I did not spend much time on CSS beautification. Layout could be improved.
I added English translations for new labels, but wasn't sure if more was required for other languages other than getting translations.
