Default Files download section how? - 08-01-2004

Folks, have we decided on how we might handle a collection of files to download on different subjects? These may be docs, FAQs, utility programs, maps, special versions of the bots, etc.

I think we should have it somewhere perhaps via a web page?

For example, I would like to share this doc with everyone but how to handle it?http://austinbots.com/dl/maps/HowToInstallCSMaps.doc

If anyone wants to review filebase.bots-united.com (which I installed for review by council in the other thread) then we could use that as a download DB. use my admin login Nova / ******** for filebase.bots-united.com/admin.php

Perhaps place a "Files" or "Download" link on the main Bots-United.com webpage below all of the member's names.

On this page, divide it up into sections. "Documents", "Utilities", "Templates", "Tutorials", "Miscellaneous", etc. Then in each section have the filename with a brief description of what it is (or does).

Looks good Nova.
I assume it would have the same skin as the rest of BU and there would be different heading/categories as botman suggested.

I wonder how we are going to do this with the websites of the bots:

1. you refer to the download page section of your bot
2. you have direct-links (which never change, because you can update the files (or do change when you add new files))
3. you do not use the filebase for frequent updating files (like rb wip)

I'd tend to just link at your site to filebase.bots-united.com (if thats ok with you)

and then have different categories for all the bots in the filebase system.

Main Menu
  • realbot
    • documentation
    • tutorials
    • releases
    • wip - versions
  • racc
    • ...
    • ...
    • ...
    • ...
  • ...
And so on ...

Finally found some time to review this.

It looks very good. Content and shape. And the distribution of sections as proposed by Nova look fine too. I say go ahead.

i have also taken a better look, it looks sw33t! Perhaps there is also a download counter? (i did not find one, or i was to tired to find one so quickly on my screen?) It would be cool to know how popular files are. You could even have a 'most popular' , 'best rated' etc. Although these sections should be considered first by the council because this also creates a devision in 'good and bad stuff' which is obviously (imo) not the way to go for a united site. I'd say, its up to the users to say what is good/best/popular.

There is a download counter once we have setup the files... we can even define special licenses for EVERY SINGLE FILE ...
