Asking for help
I run into an interesting problem today, I need something done, in particular, I need a redirect download module for Cuyahoga.
Cuyahoga is a really nice CMS, which I have been using for the last three or four years, with very few issues.
One thing that I want is to be able to create a download list that is hosted off site. In this way, I would be able to put stuff on S3 and still get tracking from Cuyahoga, not to mention that it will all blend into my site. Building a module with Cuyahoga is fairly simple, and there is a really excellent guide here.
The problem that I have is that I find myself with no actual time to do this. I currently have some time to do this, but ... my biological clock says that it is 5 AM or so, and I haven't slept in about 20 hours. I can barely see, and I don't want to see code that I write at this stage. I can actually feel my thoughts being slowed.
Anyway, I thought that I would see if I can get help from the community with this. It is a simple problem, but it should expose the author to a lot of interesting patterns (MVC, NHibernate, to name a few). There is even an existing template that just needs to be tweaked a bit if you want to do it this way, the Cuyahoga builtin download module.
Anyone interested?
Update: After getting some sleep, I spent several hours and did it myself. Thanks for everyone who suggested to help me with this.

You want to get a download link(link to a file) from a Cuyahoga based site?
Yes, with tracking for the number of downloads
hi ayende,
i have been playing with cuyahoga and nhibernate recently. so i would certainly like to help but requirement is still not clear to me.
you want a download module to track files that are hosted off site. is that correct? so what you want different from download module in cuyahoga is you add a link to your files hosted offsite instead of actual file. please advice.
What I want is very simple.
I give the module a name & a url.
It display them in the same format as the download module.
When you click the link, it record this as a download and redirect you to the url.
i just completed the module and was about to mail but saw the update.
anyway, next time....
