FEATURES

ADVANCED FEATURES
Geek out with other cool features in DownloadsPlus:

  • Auto Resolve - An advanced feature of the Support system.  Auto-Resolve is a setting to automatically close a ticket in X days if no response.  For example, if you have a support ticket where the last response is from the downloader and X days have transpired, the ticket is automatically marked as "Closed."  If you have a support ticket where the last response is from the uploader and X days have transpired, the ticket is automatically marked as "No Response."  
  • Statuses - An advanced feature of the Support system.  Statuses can be customized to provide a built-in tracker for issues.  

HOW TO INSTALL
Please install or update like any other application.  

  1. Navigate to ACP > System > Site Features - Applications.  
  2. Click on "Install"
  3. Select the TAR file and install.  

REQUIREMENTS
This file requires IP.Core and IP.Downloads.

This is a MUST have application for anyone who is using the badly neglected "downloads" app. While much of IPB 4 is mature and robust the downloads app seems it was developed for this marketplace here and NOT developed with the same flexibility as the rest of the IPB suite.  Downloads Plus corrects this by providing many things that are needed to run a GREAT market place on your site. This mod will give you features that you need and help make downloads better at doing what it does.

The developer is incredible. Very attentive to requests and seems to always be ready to help. Does @CodingJungle even sleep? In fact he was working on helping his customers on the day of his birthday. THAT is dedication you can trust!!!

IF you use downloads BUY THIS APPLICATION.   THIS IS A MUST OWN!!

Just what I needed since @superj707 mentioned the download app has so many missing features. The support system is just what I needed. With this it's tied directly to the file instead of a separate forum topic. My biggest problem was that you can't create support topics for files later on, so I forgot to choose the create forum topic for a category and anded up having 100+ files with no support topic. This app solved everything and added more features that are just great.

Looking forward to more updates and hopes for a feature to add custom tabs.

This extension is great if you want to customize more settings to Downloads. The biggest reason I purchase this was the tab order with review, comments and questions in the same line as details. Yes finally there is an option to disable file version that was prefilled with 1.0.0 every time when uploading new files. :)

It has great potential but unfortunately it's got a bug, I had to uninstall it after just 1 day.  When you click the report this file link you don't get a text box, instead it just repeats the file description.  Kind of a bummer for $35 hopefully the author comes back around to fix the bug sometime soon.

Edit this is now fixed so I updated my review score.

Response from the author:

should be fixed now

I love the new stuff added in 4.5 Sadly, i cant get any of it to work. I reached out to the author here and again on his own site, he replied with some good questions, then ignored me after i answered them all, I messaged many times, done all that i know to do, so basically there is no support for this. 

Someone sent me a letter showing where he was in a bad situation and physically pretty hurt, So I understand. I hope he gets well soon as this is a great application and vital to anyone who uses Files.

I wish you a fast recovery!

Response from the author:

Sorry about this, I've been ill for the last month, still in recovery but well enough to get back to work. I'm currently working on checking and updating all my apps for 4.6 and to fix any outstanding issues from my time of illness. more about it can be found here:
