I have been thinking of doing this for some time, but I don't have enough spare time to do it at the moment. It would be a really nice mod to have though.

You mean a seperate section on a website besides ubbt where they can upload and archive files? I have a couple sections on my website I've done this with, using the ubbt cookie's groups to allow permission to different areas. My code is pretty site specific, but I could put together a general version if there is a demand for it.

I'm about to start upgrading a section of my site that will basically do this. It will be more general than what I have done already, so I'll try to come up with a version that anyone can add to their site which will work with ubbt groups. I'm planning on having it ask for a category, file name, description, and upload the file. The info will be saved to a new table which will then be grabbed and dynamically displayed when someone loads the default page for the section. This sound basically like what you are looking for? I don't plan on making any admin pages for this, just let you hardcode in group permissions for uploading and/or viewing when you install.

I'd rather have it integrated into the forums, so that it is possible to comment on the file as well. Otherwise it sounds great since I also want to add this to my site.

Hmm, integrated with forums... That could have posibilities in a future version. For right now, my intention was to have a page with all files listed on it. One page to view them all, so to speak. I have categories set up, chosen by the uploader. The page displays who uploaded it, and a description. There is the ability for the uploader to go back and update it later, either description or a new version of the file.

There are several admin pages to edit any file and it's info, delete files, and add/remove categories. In the future I may enable it to be multi-page, but for now it is one index page, organized by category. I plan on giving it a download counter, just like the atachments on ubbt have now.

With luck, this will be done by tomorrow night. This addon would even be useful on ubbdev.com as an archive of finished hacks. Easy to browse on one page, organized by ubbt version perhaps. Just a thought since the hacks are becomming plentiful around here

It's basically done, I'm testing it now and got a bug or two to iron out. Then I gotta write up directions.

Hmm, threads path I should, the title I made different for most pages on my site. And the pal path, well every site is kinda different so I just used what I had on my site, and what is pretty common for users of these boards. I figured most admins installing would be altering the page layouts to match their site anyways.
