Many users of my Download Counter plugin have, in the past, requested that it support video, music and other media type files. Well the good news is that I now have a pre-release ‘advanced’ version up and working - in use here on my site as it happens - that now supports a long list of file types. It also supports categories with parallel sub-folders and paging of the download file list as well as list filtering.

The downside of this is that the current data anyone has built up wont work with this new version without some editing. A pain I know but that was the price. It took me about 8 minutes to convert my list although that’s only about 38 download entries. I could have done it much quicker editing the database directly however!

I am looking for anyone interested in helping test this new version. I have not found any problems yet on my own site but it could do with a more complex set of test data including some media file types. If anyone is interested then please use the Contact link on the About tab on the sidebar and let me know and I can send it along to them.
