Files are in the House!

Not at the moment; I'm too busy making a downloads management module for ModX. Should be done in a day or two. Fun! I already have the tables in the database, the menu item in 2.php, and the dynamic action call in index.php, now I'm working on the manage_downloads.dynamic.action.php and the save_downloads.proccessor.php files; they're just stubs right now. I'm making it all (categories and files) on one tabbed page. Then I need to work up the snippet for the front end. I'm keeping it simple; no special user needed (using the files permissions for admin), no rating or comments, no allowing web users to upload stuff. Just managing and tracking downloads. The other stuff can be added easily enough later if somebody wants them.

Since we don't seem to be using the basecamp project site to describe features or tasks people are working on yet, can you share what features this download manager will have; I don't see this as a critical path for release, or for getting our support site ready, cause it would be just as easy for us as site managers to upload the files via the File manager, or FTP, etc. and create a link to that file in the manager, and then point a ListMenu snippet at the directories containing the downloads.

Webuser upload seems like a more critical path item; as we want users to be able to contribute files to the project. However, we need to work out how this will work with the forum software we choose for our support site as well.

In that case, it would quicker to modify the template of Olate to match your site, and make a weblink to it. It would just have a separate database and manager login.
