Feature request: downloads, Alternative download location #578

Open willem010 opened 10 years ago

It would be nice if we had the option to add multiple download locations for 1 file.. f.i. .. add a link on zippyshare, megaupload and others.. there also should be a reporting function there, when the download has timed-out on the host server, users should be able to report and request a re-upload.

The mirror function is not really suitable for our website.

Thank you for your suggestions.

I'm not that familiar with the mirror functionality in the downloads plugin to be able to provide you with useful insights. I do know that a reporting functionality for broken downloads is already built in.

willem010 commented 10 years ago

yeah, there is a report broken download link, but that would need an upgrade as well when there are multiple locations. that's why i mentioned this.

the mirror function only is usefull when you have an exact copy of the whole filestructure on another server ..

Moc commented 10 years ago

Gotcha! :) Listed as enhancement for a possible future improvement.

Why don't you create one category for one file and then you can add more downloads to it (each with report broken list) With some changes in templates you can got different look of downloads (only link, title etc), it could look as more links to one download.

willem010 commented 10 years ago

the files are already divided into (a lot of) different categories, adding one for each file would make it a lot of work to manage.

(another problem would be.. a filename can only exist once in the current system)

I will see if i can create this myself .. would be a nice start to get into the e107 code..
