Re: fox_files_stats
Hi everyone. I’m still supporting this plugin, even if I really don’t have anything new to announce.
Are there any known bugs or compatibility issues to be fixed? Any feature requests?

Re: fox_files_stats
Riccardo, this plugin seems helpful (although I’ve never used it – so far!). Just wanted to post to say thanks for this plugin – incredible no one else has posted!

Re: fox_files_stats
Thank you very much Jonathan.
It’s not a problem however, people have already too many things to do without having to say “thanks” to everyone puts something useful on the internet :)

Hi, Riccardo.
I am using this plugin in my site for a couple of years, and I find it very useful. However, one thing that I miss is a point or a comma to separate the thousands from the hundreds. That is, I would prefer to see “1.096” rather than “1096” (in Spanish the correct is to use a point, not a comma as in English). As I don’t know PHP I can’t hack your plugin in order to do it, so that I would grateful very much if you ad this feature to your plugin.
Thanks anyway.

You’re right. I’m working on a presentation for a conference right now so I’m really busy, but I’ll try to have a look at it as soon as I can. It’s a very useful improvement the one you’re suggesting. Thanks.

If you can’t wait the new version, try to change the last line into the plugin code:
return number_format($stats, 0, ',', '.');

Textpattern’s file_download_size() can give pointers how to implement localization support. It shows how Textpattern does it, and what language strings are available. I.e. PHP’s localeconv() and number_format() could prove useful.

Hi, Patrick.
Your proposal (return number_format($stats, 0, ',', '.'); instead of return $stats; at the end of the code) works beautifully. Thanks you all for your interest and your help.

Re: fox_files_stats
As I anticipated in the fox_code thread, I released the code of fox_files_stats on GitHub to improve its maintainability.
Best,
Riccardo

Re: fox_files_stats
Hi, Riccardo.
I thought about an improvement of your plugin. In our site we use categories and subcategories of files. I would like to use the optional argument “category” in order to count all the files included in that category AND all the files of its children categories. Something, like this:
<txp:fox_files_stats category=“category-name” children=“1” />
Nowadays this isn’t possible to do that. Do you have some ideas (and some time) to achieve it?
