NEWS: Changes Ahead for TESA Downloads

Heh, that's one way to do it. It's not like I need to see the list all the time, but it's handy when you need to find your stuff for an update. Just having the profile link working would be fine really.

Okay according to IPS there is a 10 entry cap on the profile views because profile views only offers a summary of the user's activities, last 10 files, last 10 posts, last 10 topics, etc. However, you can create an advanced search URL like this:

[pCount]=&search_app_filters[forums][pViews]=&search_app_filters[downloads][]=1&search_sort_by=date&search_sort_order=desc&search_term=&search_filter_app[downloads]=1]Arthmoor's Mods

And users not logged in can see it too. Just add the Hyperlink to your profile for your own ease of use.

There is a hack option to extend the number the summary shows in the profile, I will be testing that to see if it allows more entries without skewing anything in the profile.

Any word on the upgrades for the file download section that will allow for multiple files in one entry?

[DarkRider]

Yeah that feature is active now.

Ooo, I wondered about that when I saw it didn't tell me it was overwriting the previous version. I'll have to give it a prod in a sec then. I've been completely unable to upload to Nexus at all now for quite some time and need a new home for my huge collection of files

[DarkRider]

Well we have the bandwidth, shoot me a PM if you need any help with your collection!

[Arthmoor]

I like. It's slightly awkward to download the files since there's no provision for providing a short description on each one. That's easy enough for now to work around with self-describing filenames.

I know I'm probably being a pest, but it would be nice if there was a possibility of designating one or two primary files and let the rest be treated as secondaries, and some indication on the file's main entry that there are other additional files available.

In any case, I've got some relocation work to do now. Huge thanks for getting this upgrade in!

[DarkRider]

I'll look into it, assigning a primary file or two may be something we can tweak custom for our site.

[PacificMorrowind]

while you're looking into that any chance of appending the download entry number to the filename (ie filenam.zip on dl becomes filename260.zip)?

I manually rename for ease of later finding... but if it is fairly easy it would be nice to have automatic.

Thanks for the upgrades! It's more convenient to upload multiple files now.
