Hi Chris,
I have done similar to that.
you can have users upload documents via a form and have the name file name put
into a "uploaded files" database. you will need to something like
<form METHOD="[process-target]" enctype="multipart"> or something like that, I
cant remember off hand. and simply have a loop on a page that looks like the
following
[loop search=|
fi=uploaded_files
st=db
ra=yes
rf=name or code or whatever you want
]
<a href="[area search=|
fi=uploaded_files
st=db
sf=name
se=[loop-code]
|]">[loop-code]</a><br>
[/loop]
you know what, I am not thinking well right now. but that should get you headed
in the right direction. let me know if you need any help.
you may need to look at autoincrementing your table when people upload the
files that way everyone has a unique primary key.

Good Luck,
Tom
