I'm creating a website where I would like the files downloaded to be the original images I uploaded in ImageField. ImageField & ImageCache is used to make derivative of images for Views. The goal is to set private downloads on and to have an ability to track download statistics. This module would suit this need perfectly, granted it can somehow "connect" or link itself with the ImageField module so when any upload is processed through there, a FileField can somehow recognize it (or vice versa).

Any suggestions or ideas? I don't have any preference for version numbers, granted they work with a recent one..

Many thanks for any resolutions or ideas! =P

I presume you planned to do your download statistics using the Download Count module that is mentioned on FileField's project page, because FileField itself doesn't have any download count features by itself.

So here's the good news for you: Download Count supports everything that uses private downloads, including (but not restricted to) both FileField *and* ImageField. That's good news because FileField and ImageField are completely separate from a technical point of view, and can't be married as easily as you propose above.

Bad news: you probably need to write an additional CCK formatter or at least themeing override to make the imagefields appear like filefields (as link instead of as image). That's not hard, but just a little too much work to give you an example here. In case you don't do Drupal development, please consult your favorite themer or developer to do it for you.
