Does anyone know how to list a set of files based on the tags given to it in the filemanager ?
Kindest regards,
Julius

Hi,
I think for this we need an enhanced [dowload=id,id,id/] tag like [dowload=tag,tag,tag/] or
a new one like [filelist=tag,tag,tag/] or [filelist=filecentercatID/]

And how, where do we get this.
AT this moment we're building our new website (old one
http://www.uvw.nl) in phpwcms since we like this way better than our current CMS wich costs is too much money
The website is a pretty big "Potrtfolio"website regarding phpwcms i think. But that aside.
Has anyone done this before, will Oliver fix this soon (i already saw it was a feature request, but pretty old)
Or will this F**K up my planning 'cause i have to do it myself once more as a hack that will probably unable me to to an easy upgrade of the core cms ?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (I'm on the ground begging
))
@Oli, i'd realy realy prefer a decent Oliver one so other people may benefit as well.

Please don´t hack the core. There is no reason to do so.
All you need is an enhanced tag like [xdownload=tag1,tag2,tag3..../] or/and [xdownload=f:folder-id1,f:folder-id2,f:folder-id3 ..../]
The basic function allready exists ->
[download=ID, ID ,ID] file-1 file-2 file-3[/download]
Cut out the "function parse_downloads($match)" from \include\inc_front\ext.func.inc.php,
put it into a file /frontend_render/rt_xdownload.php and enhance this function to search tags and/or IDs in phpwcms_file table.
Catch the IDs -> voila you have a clean output by using the basic function from "CP filelist" with a specified template!!!
Or have direct call to OG or make a donation in wiki ......
wiki:
phpwcms_file table

Thanks Knut,
I've asked oliver in an personal mail for one thing as i still beleive all should benefit in the community. I hope the address was correct
Also thanks for the wiki site, i've actualy never seen it before.
and third, always nice to get a direction to take and and some good advise.
PHPWCMS rules and so does it's community, THE reason we've chosen phpwcms as CMS for all our websites.
