Hello all,
I've been running Drupal since last April, shortly after 4.6.x was released. I knew it had the ability to host downloads but until now I never bothered using it for that purpose since our corporate site was .Net based and we were using another solution. Last week I reimplemented the entire site using Drupal, only to discover much to my dismay that the various download modules are weak (no offense intended). Having spent much time checking out drupal.org's own download page, I naturally assumed that the download modules would offer capability similar to that.
I've searched the board looking for possible alternatives - I've tried various modules folks have referenced (filestore, download, flexinode) and none of those solutions seem to come close to anything I'd want to present to the public - the solutions are too cumbersome for offering device drivers. I've played with taxanomy a bit (taxonomy id a neat concept now that I've worked with it, I must admit!) but that still does not give the user experience I'd like. I've yet to find a good way to include more than one driver per page, using existing modules, unless I want one single description with one single module.
Am I missing something here? Is there a tutorial available? Or, is there a way to include multiple nodes on one single page so I can have, for example, manuals, BIOS, video, audio, (etc.) drivers on a given page, categorized by OS, type, version, etc. ?
