Just started using Phoca Download and I'm very impressed. The alternatives such as Remository are too complex and not as good looking.
One thing I don't like is the way that file descriptions are either shown in the overlib or always visible below the file. The overlib is too restricted for large descriptions. And having the descriptions always visible below makes the category list look messy.
So I've modifed the category view so that when a description is available, the Details button acts as a toggle to show it or hide it. By default it's hidden, but it can be shown by clicking the Details button, and then hidden again by the same button. I've also included the file date next to the file size in the small grey font. This makes the overlib unnecessary.
Unfortunately I can't upload my amended versions as attachments to this thread, but at least I know it's possible. Might just encourage someone to give it a try themselves.
