Links SQL File indexing URL Linking
Looks like this is a great product, just wanted to know instead of using links to websites, will links to files also work as well, and report a filesize, and description if added? What I am looking for is something similar to mp3fanatic.com If it does this please let me know ASAP, and I will buy today.

Thanks

There is a new and improved built-in file upload feature in v.2.05, which may serve your purposes.

In addition, pugdog, a long-time Links SQL user, has developed a set of plugins for more robust file upload options, including multiple "attachments/uploads" per user.

thanks for the quick response.. wow! But, I don't want to upload files, i just want to submit a url link that points to a file somewhere, and on the indexing of the link report filesize. Just want to be 100% sure this is possible, before I shell out almost 500 bucks! =)
Thank you!!!

It would take a bit of effort but it could be done. You may wish to email Alex or Jack at GT if you wish for them to do the customization.

Hi,

Yes, it would work well. Links SQL can check both http and ftp links to make sure the files are still there. You wouldn't be able to automatically detect the size of the file without custom work, but could definately manually enter it in and have it show up. If you drop me a quick email, I can send you a URL you can look at to see a similiar file archive site using Links SQL (alex@gossamer-threads.com).

Cheers,

Alex
