Some features I would like to see...

I was using jdownloads on my websites but it was choking on the 14,735 downloads on a couple of them so I gave phoca download a try and it seems to have no problem handling it.

But I would like a few features added (or tell me how to activate them if already existing).

1) Latest 5 downloads added, next to the most popular list that already exists.
2) Instructions on customising the icons shown for files. A lot of the files I have are not pdf/zip and don't display a relevant icon.
3) Possibly increase the size of the icons?
4) A global module that appears next to those that lists the total files in the file area, total categories existing, and total files downloaded...

Any help appreciated!

Hi,
1) Latest 5 downloads added, next to the most popular list that already exists.
see: https://www.phoca.cz/phoca-download-file-module (But it's not free!)
3) Possibly increase the size of the icons?
backend --> Components --> Control Panel --> Options --> Display --> Theme Settings --> File Icon Size=16/32/48/64px

Kind regards,
Benno

Any tips on adding the MIME types for file types that are not listed?

Hi, just open the options and add missing mime types there.

But how would I know how to set up a mimetype for one that doesn't exist? Is there a way to detect the icon based on the file extension rather than mimetypes?
