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, and 5.

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 and 5 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 and 5!

Great extention



Posted on 25 May 2011
Tnx for a great job. If you want attachments to content, it's great solution!

Brilliant support



Posted on 10 May 2011
I downloaded 'Attachments for content items' because I needed a simple way to provide a download without the need for a bulky document repository - this extension does just that. It's easy to install and simple to use.



However, I found I was having a problem with the article selection so I contacted Jonathan and in less than an hour he identified the problem (a clash with mootools upgrade plugin) and sent me a modified file, which solved the problem.



Now that's what I call support - better than many provide for commercial products.



Well done Jonathan and thanks again.

Great Component



Posted on 23 April 2011
This is a great component and works perfect. I had an issue that was caused by another component I had installed. The developer; Jonathan replied to my issue within hours of my posting and resolved the issue. The component "Attachments is a GREAT component and works perfect straight out of the box. The support was second to none. I have had paid components that didn't offer the superior support I received for this free component! Thank you again Jonathan

Beats every bigger download component

I used the previous 1.x version for a file and documentation repository. And i will upgrade it as soon as possible.



Why did i choose Attachments? Because it is usable and intuitive for the average user. I needed a simple way to share and update files and related documents in FRONTEND. I think i have tried almost any possible download component out there... finally i came back to Attachments. Only DOCmans simple upload steps come close to this.



The ability to use the Joomla articles for categorization and descriptions is real fun. (in v2 also for categories and sections)



The frontend upload and edit is as easy as it can be.



Thank you very much for this great piece of software.

Great extension

5* !!!

To keep it simple: one of the best comps in JED!



Great job:

Easy install

Easy management

Nice options

Easy customising: Different CSS classes (even for the little picture that dispays the attachement)





You can notice this comp has been made with a lot of love! Hence I'm going to see if you made any other comps ... Sure wanna check them out to!



Keep up the good job J! (saw your name on the youtube help file)

Excellent Product: Excellent Support

After using Attachments for just over a year, I can say that it works well and does what it's supposed to. For me, that is providing end-user (front-end) access to attached documents - primarily pdf files.



Being fairly new to Joomla, I had some minor problems with the initial setup. When I contacted Jonathan, the author, he was very helpful and got me up a running. Since then, he has released a new version of the enhancement. During the testing, he was very responsive to suggestions and quick to resolve any problems. All in all, this is a very useful, workable enhancement.

Excellent extension and support

This extension works perfectly fine. No worries, the installation is very simple. When I couldn't understand how to install the spanish translation I contacted the developer and he helped me with the process, that turned out to be very simple. Thanks Jonathan!

Perfect!!!

Nifty little tool

Very well done extension, does what you expect it to. However, I miss the ability to browse for files on the server itself.
