Pros:

- Limit the number of documents to be displayed
- Show Icon > yes/no
- Show category > yes/no
- design can be controlled with Module Class Suffix

Cons:
- no option to exclude specific/certain categories
(display ALL categories, but exclude Cat F+K)
- no option to display documents from certain categories only
(display Cat B+G only)


This is a very useful module for me and it works flawless. If you could improve so that my listed cons would move to Pros this module would be perfect.

This module (or rather the component) has a bug and will return a fatal error when the module is published in 1.4.0 RC2 and RC3 because the file: administrator/components/classes/DOCMAN_model.class.php is missing a necessary line of code.

Open the file and go to line 18, it begins with:

require_once($_DOCMAN->getPath('classes', 'utils'));

after this line add the following:

require_once($_DOCMAN->getPath('classes', 'token'));

The module itself does what it promises.

This module should be good IF the amount of downloads should be correct.
On my site the amount allways stays zero no matter how many times downloaded.
Also the amount of files visible is not correct, when set to 3 i get 6

Very easy to install & use module. It's worth trying but still beta so it needs a little improvement.

Options:
- Number of files to display
- Show or hide icon (indicates filetype)
- Show or hide category

Bug:
- It shows the filenames twice

Contra:
- It hasn't got an option to break the line after a given number of characters, so it could look a little weird in your template.
