It's a simple category lister...it lists ALL categories, including sub-cats (but doesn't say if something is a sub-cat or not, which is what the prev poster was trying to say). it runs a simple query against the Categories table for the DOCman entries. If this is what you want, then you have a 100% working module. If not then...

The 'count' parameter doesn't work...and most people probably wouldn't want it to. It defaults to '7'. I changed it to '1' as well as '0', and it still listed everything. Not a problem for my intended use. :)

The number of items listed in the categories are ONLY in that category, NOT cat + sub-cat. Kind of a bummer, and I'm still too new to PHP to figure it out.

HOWEVER...

To change this to a menu module (or to list only the main categories):
1) Remove the 'count' parameter from the XML file and the $count line from the PHP file
2) Look for the following line:
. "\n AND section = 'com_docman'"
And add the following line after it:
. "\n AND parent_id = '0'"

A 30 second fix/upload and you've got yourself a menu for DOCman!

Pros - Easy setup, Adds ALL files below parent directory, basic downloader
Cons - Lack of documentation, site has no English translation (that I could find)

Suggestions:
* Have choice of 'info' icon or comment below file name (there's times I would want the icon, but for a site I'm setting up I need the comments to be plainly visible)
* Ability to go Up in file directory structure in the CP rather than going all the way back to the beginning
* Add English translation of author's site


Problems:
2.6 gave SQL error, as did the amm.zip (whatever that does)
2.5 reports that it is 2.3
When only a couple hundred files, it takes a LONG time to enter the FILES area of the CP.

Nice and easy to setup. Can have subfolders or 'copy' component to have different folders on menu. Documentation on some of the features needs to be done.

The module installed easy, but wouldn't update until the next cron job.

The only complaint I have is that I can't seem to modify the background color...it stays white, even if I change it in the CSS page.
