Resources/Downloads Plugin

[techguy123]

I want a plugin that acts like XenForo Resource Manager (like a simple downloads page where members can post downloads, and people can download them.)

It would be GREAT!

The plugin should be FREE. And also posted on the ProBoards Plugins page (where you can install plugins)

ProBoards isn't a self-hosted solution where you install the forum software on your own domain (all forums on our service are remotely hosted by us), so something like this isn't as simple to implement because we don't offer FTP access. The only upload functionality available on the user end of our service is the attachment system, and every attached file has to be tied to a post.

A plugin can be made to transform threads within one of the boards of the forum into a kind of upload gallery, but as anyone who has attempted a plugin like this can tell you there's only so far you can take it. In addition, the attachment limits of the free attachment plan would be met pretty quickly on a forum that primarily focuses on the distribution of files.

In conclusion, while a plugin like this is in at least some fashion viable you have to take into consideration that it would be working around the limits of the forum software and would thus most likely turn out a bit differently than what you had originally envisioned. Just letting you know what you're in for if someone takes on this plugin request.
