Thanks for file and link author fields (r3176,r3179-80)
Good to see this being implemented – that’s another hack I can now remove. Neat to not have it show author on single-author sites. Thank you, Robert.
PS: Don’t you also need to add the new fields to txpsql.php too?

Yeah, all good stuff, thanks.
btw, wet, are there plans for some client side tags for outputting the author info from $thisfile/$thislink? e.g. <txp:file_download_author />? It would make this kind of thing easier, unless you know of an alternative I haven’t considered.

Isn’t that what update_to_4.0.x.php does? I’m not exactly sure how it all works but I think txpsql.php is the same now as it was for the 4.0.0 release and new stuff just gets ALTERed/ADDed on upgrade *shrug*

No, schema upgrades are handled by the various update/_to_a.b.c.php scripts (with one significant exception)

Ace, thanks! Any thoughts on conditionals? Adding if_file_download_author and if_link_author is perhaps a bit bloaty (or maybe not, since we have if_article_author already). Almost makes me pine for a <txp:if_author type="article | file | link | ..." /> tag but of course if_author is taken :-(
Adding an author="list, of, authors" attribute to file_download_list and linklist is, I assume, on the cards so it’s possible to target particular authors. Is taking action within the form or container better left for a plugin like chh_if_data or smd_if?
