    Also, to add to that little wishlist at the end of the post, I was =
thinking, it would be very nice to be able to download specific files =
out of a zip, or tar.gz file. It might work like this...
next to the link to download the compressed file, there is a link called =
content, you click on it, and a pop-up comes up, list each file as a =
link, you click the link, you download the file.

Plus, a download cart might be nice. example....
next to each the link of each file is an enque link, when you click this =
link, that file is added to the users list of TO-Downloads when they are =
done browsing, they click a download cart link, then, all those files =
are compressed with tar.gz, or zip or .bz2 or whatever it is they =
picked, then downloaded as one huge file.

  Subject: WEPS and PHPNuke


      Hey people, first, nice system, you created here, second...
  I made a post at one of the PHPNuke webportal support forums to see if =
anyone was interested in making WEPS available as a module for =
PHPNuke(my original post below). I'm going to wait to see if any of them =
are interested in doing it themself cause I know very little about the =
innerworkings of PHPnuke so far. If I dont get any good feedback I will =
do it myself, and if anyone wants to help, they are more then welcome. =
Actually, I'm Very New to WEPS, PHPNuke and PHP itself, so if someone =
here uses phpnuke and wants to do it themself that would be easier on =
me.. If not, I will be doing it myself anyway :) Just wanted to let you =
all know..

  Also, I had a bit of a wish list for weps at the end of my post, so =
you may also want to check that out(its at the end of this email).

  I think WEPS (http://www.weps.org) should be able to be installed in =
phpnuke in replace of the current download module. Its not exactly a =
download system itself, its more like a file library system. It is VERY =
nice, and is a great alternative if you plan on having LOTS of files =
instead of just a few files for your downloads area. Check it, out, its =
a small download and a Very easy install.=20

  It has a few features to be desired, but is all in all much better =
then the current download module. It is reletivly new and is still in =
active develepment by only 1 or 2 people I think. Anyone want to look in =
to integrating it with PHP-Nuke?=20

  A few prominent features I would like to point out are .....=20
  -Files are all stored in one directory, with categories and =
subcategories being subdirectories this makes it very easy to make =
accessible to an ftp server.(does the current system have this? I didnt =
even check)=20
  -Users have the option of download the files as zip, tar.gz or I think =
the other option was .bz2 these compressed files are generated on the =
fly.=20
  -Built in search=20

  Whats needed....=20
  -User system, currently it is wide open, this is almost done I beleive =
and should be in the next release(this would have to be fixed to work =
with phpnukes users system)=20
  -When files are uploaded, they should be automaticly be bz2 compressed =
to save on disk space.=20
  -I forgot wether it has file descriptions or not but I know it needs a =
rating system, star based preferably, its easy to comprehend at a =
glance. (1 star poor 5 star great...that kind of thing.=20
  -I would prefer if the files were transfered securely, but I dont know =
if this is possible.=20
