Extension Name: Download System
Author: dmzx

Special thanks to: martin

Extension Description:
This extension will add an easy download system to your forum, where you can offer your user to download files from your webspace.




- Added a bot-check (phpBB's own captcha) for guests downloading a file, shown on the exact same download URL - no separate confirm route or token needed. - Logged-in members are completely unaffected regardless of which link (internal or external) they use.
- This lets the "Can download files" guest permission stay enabled (needed for external links to keep working) while still filtering out automated/bot traffic from the per-user download log and file server.
- Requires the guest permission "Can download files in Download System" to be set to Yes - the captcha is now the gate for guests, not the permission itself.


Added template events to index_body.html, showcat_body.html and upload_body.html so other extensions can inject content (e.g. reviews, badges, achievement indicators) without modifying this extension's templates directly.
Consolidated all inline CSS from index_body.html and showcat_body.html into a single stylesheet, styles/prosilver/theme/downloadsystem.css, loaded via INCLUDECSS.
No functional or visual changes - purely template structure and asset organization.


- Added a public API facade (dmzx.downloadsystem.api): has_user_downloaded(), get_download_count(), get_user_download_count(), get_user_downloads() for other extensions to query without touching this extension's tables directly.
- Added a new per-user download history table (dm_eds_log) that records every download.
- Added dispatcher events dmzx.downloadsystem.download_completed_after and dmzx.downloadsystem.upload_completed_after for other extensions to hook into.
- Major refactor: split the ~1500-line monolithic admin_controller.php into 12 focused classes under controller/admin/, each handling a single ACP action, plus a shared trait for common logging/URL helpers. acp/downloadsystem_module.php now dispatches to the matching service per mode/action instead of one shared controller.
- Fixed a latent bug in the category-folder delete flow where a subdirectory cleanup call was missing its class reference (would have fatally errored had it ever been reached).
- Fixed a broken "selected" check on the category dropdown when adding a new download (comparison against the wrong value meant nothing was ever pre-selected).
- No functional/behavioural changes for board admins or end users beyond the two bug fixes above - this is an internal code-organization release.


- Added optional Ultimate Points Extension integration: users can be charged points to download a file.
- New ACP setting to enable/disable charging, only visible when Ultimate Points Extension is installed, off by default.
- New cost-per-download field on the add/copy/edit download forms, only visible when Ultimate Points Extension is installed.
- Front-end category page shows the user's points balance and a cost badge on downloads that have a price, only when both the extension is installed and charging is enabled.
- Balance is checked before streaming a file and points are deducted only after the file was confirmed readable, so a failed download is never charged.
- Behaviour is completely unchanged when Ultimate Points Extension is not installed, or when installed but the setting is left off.


- Added CSRF protection (add_form_key/check_form_key) to all ACP write actions: add/copy/edit/update download, create/edit category, save configuration.
- Added CSRF protection to the front-end upload form.
- Added link-hash protection (generate_link_hash/check_link_hash) to the category move up/down actions, since those are plain GET links rather than forms.
- Added explicit methods constraint to routing.yml (GET for display/serve routes, GET+POST for the upload route).
- Fixed the viewonline listener's outdated hardcoded 'app.php' front-controller assumption (generic prefix-strip, matching the fix already applied to 5 other dt2bapps extensions).


- Moved uploaded download files out of ext/dmzx/downloadsystem/files/ into store/dmzx_downloadsystem/files/ (board-root-relative), so extension updates/reinstalls can no longer overwrite user-uploaded files.
- New dmzx.downloadsystem.files_path parameter replaces 10+ scattered hardcoded path references.
- Added .htaccess to the new storage location to block direct access.
- Redesigned category and download listing pages: card-based layout, badges, "Read more" for long descriptions, real server-side search across all categories.

Yes every category will be in different folder in the \ext\dmzx\downloadsystem\files\ folder of the extension.

It needs to make also then the category in the extension to show, like you do normal when you add it manual in ACP.
