Introduction

Downloads, File Management

The 'Attachments' extension for Joomla! allows files to be uploaded and attached to articles and other types of content. URLs can also be attached. 'Attachments' includes the ability to attach files and edit attachments from the front end as well as from the administrative back end. There are options to control who can see the attachments and who can upload them, along with many other options to increase its flexibility and usefulness. There are versions for Joomla 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Attachments gives you several ways to add, edit, and delete your attachments on the front end, back end, and in article editors on the front and back ends (including during article creation). There are many options to control who can see attachments. When you add or edit attachments, page updates are done quickly without full page reloads.

If you plan to use this extension for sensitive files, use the 'Secure' mode. This provides secure storage of attachment files and prevents access by anyone without logging in.

INSTALLATION IS SIMPLE: Use the Joomla installer with the single installation zip file (available here or on github, see below). The component and all plugins are installed in a single step. Attachments uses the Joomla "upgrade" capability and can be installed over previous versions of Attachments.

WARNING: To uninstall Attachments go to the extension manager and search for: "Package: Attachments for Joomla". Uninstall it and it will uninstall the Attachments component and all Attachments plugins.

Versions of Attachments for Joomla 4, 5, and 6 are available at:
https://github.com/jmcameron/attachments/releases
- Attachments 3.2.6 for Joomla 3.8.6 is also available for https://github.com/jmcameron/attachments/releases/tag/v3.2.6

Many thanks to Jean-Luc (https://github.com/JLTRY) and Theofilos (https://github.com/parapente) for their work updating Attachments to support Joomla 4, 5, and 6!

Using Attachments



Posted on 16 May 2012
Using Attachments in Joomla 2.5 and 1.5. Using it since Attachments 2.1.2 (January 2011).

Advantages: centralized management of all attachments of the administrative area site.

Disadvantages: there is no way to limit the number of downloads, for example, for the user.

Technical support - do not used.

User-friendly interface, has almost all the components necessary capacity investments. Translated into Russian.

Using Attachments for attaching files on the blog.

Engaged in web technologies since March 2007. Use Joomla since December 2009.

Attach files to articles.

Tried on Joomla 2.5.4 without problem. Very good extension, you can attach files from frontend or in backend with a button under the editor.

Also in the backend there is a very useful Attachments Manager very well organized.

The default CSS used for the list of downloadable files is beatyfull and clear with icons for file types.

Good options and user permissions usage.

Fantastic Extension!

Installation is a breeze, configuration using Joomla 1.6+ logic is wonderful, and it even works fine under Joomla 2.5.



Highly Recommended!

Easy to implement and very useful!!!

It's really the best attachment tool i know, and i very much hope you'll adapt it to Joomla 2.5 as well!!

Thank you and best regards!!!!
Owner's reply: Thanks! Yes the release for 2.5+ is almost ready. I hope to have it ready in the next couple of weeks.

Very efficient and easy to use

Attachments is a very good extension for managing files on Joomla. Few additional parameters could be changed in the setting. I hope the developpers keep developping the project.

Great tool

This is an incredibly useful and easy to use tool for Joomla!. I'm using it on Joomla! 1.7 and it works pretty well. I realy recommend it to anyone who needs its site to offer files download/upload functions to visitors.



What I must like from this extension are its simplicity and effectiveness. Realy easy to install, configure and use.

The best attachement plugin

Very usefull plugin for attaching files to articles but in the 1.5 compatible version you could rename the path to the files attached, in the 1.7 compatible version you can`t do this...



Except this it`s a good plugin

Great job!

Great component, especially flexible framework for custom programming. In my case I used it with custom component, with full support from the developper, it worked like a charm!

Really great work and great support from Jonathan!

Super Awesome

This is an amazing plugin! Love it. Only problem I have is that I have pages where there's different attachment sections, but with this plugin everything gets grouped together. (So instead of it saying "Attachments:" I'd need multiple ones, ex. "Fruits:" / "Vegetables:" that I could add individual attachments to.)



So, sadly, I won't be able to use it for my site. But I still see the power and beauty of this plugin and hope to be able to use it sometime in the future!

Excellent: simple and powerful

Very useful, simple yet powerful. Up and running in minutes! I have to investigate more on how to restrain attachment access or management to different user profiles. Like it a lot, will use it a lot. Congrats!
