Hi guys,:D

Just wanted to share a few ideas for future releases. Personally I would like to see enhancements for the file & point system, as I believe these are very crutial parts of the community and how people interact with each other daily since many sites use both.
To express my vision and provide greater understanding, in some cases I created sample pictures to demonstrate. I have been meaning to post these for a while but I did not get around to.. until today. Enjoy :-)

1 - Maybe it's just me but files are kind of all over the place. Yes, you can filter them in some way, but arranging them into specific categories would be the best option I believe. This not only provides a faster access when you are looking for them, but if you think about it, everything has a category or a sub category under EasySocial. Audios, videos, events, groups, pages, etc. Even pictures have albums, so it makes perfect sense for files to have that option too.


2 - Mass download for files would be a great tool as well. Especially if they are in the same category. Time is money today. Downloading files one by one is an option when you only need a singular file, but what if you need 10 of them at the same time?


3 - Provide a deeper integration between points and files. People get points for their uploads and downloads. That's great. But what if we take this to the next level?! Let's say we ask them to pay for certain files using their points and only allow them to download something when they paid the price the uploader/administrator specified. A: this is a great way of valuing the work of others, and B: it enhances the site activity and keep users engaged.


4 - Force users to select category for files upon uploading. As we force them to select an event category when creating the event itself, we might as well do the same for files, saving valuable time for administrators and their follow-users. If we create categories for files, this also makes complete sense! Let's ask those folks out there to select the most relevant categories when they submit their documents.


There you go, now you have it! Of course, these are just ideas and a general concept for the future atm. Let me and us know what you think about these by writing a comment below. Have a great day all! :) ;)
