Description
I like disknode because it counts downloads and allows you to reuse files already on the server. Attachment does neither. However, attachment allows multiple files to be attached to one node.
I need the best of disknode and the best of attachment combined. I need to two versions of the resource attached to the node: 1. original file format (e.g., Word doc) and 2. pdf version. I hate to create two disknodes for each resource version.
Are you able to take this on? If I were a coder, I would try it myself but am not.
please tell me you can help.

A future release will get support for multiple files. The maximum number of files will be configurable. I currentl have this feature implemented on my test site, I will do some further testing before releasing it.
#2
great!! do you have a timeframe?
#3
Yes, but I'm keeping it secret ;)
Actually, I hope to round of some changes and do some final testing tonight. So I might commit the changes within 6 hours and a updated download should then be available within 24 hours.
#4
Ok, changes have been submitted. The 4.6 version now has support for multiple files. Let the bug reports come.
PS, I strongly advise to implement the theming function `theme_disknode_links` to make better download links. Check the readme for more information.
#5
Perfect timing. My client who wants this has just called. I will test it out. Thanks!!
#6
silly question here but ... I just looked in the "old versions" of disknode but the 4.6 version shows January. Shouldn't it be March? Please advise as to where I can find this updated version.
thanks

It's this website, it's partially broken, the packages are updated within 24 hours after I made changes, the date just never changes. But this should get fixed somewhere in the future, I guess.
#8
thanks, I installed - looks good so far. Am very excited
Question: In case my users are not web savvy and don't think to hover the link to determine which file is where, I think they would benefit from having the filename as the link versus 'download' How do I change the theme to have it show the filename versus 'download'?
I am not a coder but sometimes I can read enough to change things. After several tries, I am defeated. Please advise.
$links[] = l(t('download', array('%title' => $node->title)), "disknode/get/".$file->fid."/".rawurlencode($file->filename), array("title" => "Download ".$file->filename , "rel" => "nofollow" ), "download")." (".format_size($file->filesize).")"; return $links;
sorry to be a bother, but your help is appreciated.
thanks

Add the following code to the theme you are using on your site (e.g. the .theme file)
function mytheme_disknode_links($file){
$links = array();
$links[] = l(t('%title', array('%title' => $file->filename)), "disknode/get/".$file->fid."/".rawurlencode($file->filename), array("title" => "Download ".$file->filename , "rel" => "nofollow" ), "download")." (".format_size($file->filesize).")";
return $links;
}
This will show the filename instead of 'download'
Note: in the function name change mytheme to the name of the theme

now I understand part of the problem. I don't have a .theme file. I have an xtemplate.xtmpl file. Any other options for those of us in this situation?
thanks

I replaced:
$links[] = l(t('download', array('%title' => $node->title)), "disknode/get/".$file->fid."/".rawurlencode($file->filename), array("title" => "Download ".$file->filename , "rel" => "nofollow" ), "download")." (".format_size($file->filesize).")"; return $links;
with the line in your previous message.
Seems to have worked. Thanks
