Download Alpha module is ready

[thepriz]

I have pretty much all the functionality of the downloads module done. You can take a look at it at http://dragon.przybyla.org:8080/nukes/. The only thing it really dosen't have is the security set up. So it basicly is running in administration mode. I will try to get the security added this week and release a beta version of it. This address is my workstation and is up most of the time. Please do not abuse my workstation or I will have to close the firewall.

I have added these features to downloads module that was not in the postnuke downloads module:

- subcategories of subcategories
- Admin functions are accessed from menu in downloads module

I do know of a few issues that I am working to resolve.

- add user/group security
- need to add configuration page to module.
- Calculation of all downloads in all subcategories does not work yet.
- Editorials do not work.
- View comments do not work.
- Delete downloads not in modifyDownload yet.
- Delete category not in modifyCategory yet.
- Cascading Category display not done yet. (ie. just get "Modules" instead of "Nukes / Modules" in the select box)
- Havn't decided on whether to allow downloads in the main category or not (What do you think?)

If you have any suggestions please email me here.

Thanks,

I have fixed security on the Downloads module. You will now be able to view it as an anonomous user. and if you haven't already figured it out you can use admin/admin to log in as admin as see the admin functions of the downloads module. I will update the alpha download for the Alpha Downloads module to 0.2(alpha) with some fixes in it. Including some security fixes (the security is not completely done yet).
