Attachments for content articles
The 'Attachments' extension for Joomla! allows files to be uploaded and attached to content articles. 'Attachments' includes a plugin to display attachments at the end of articles and a component for uploading and managing attachments. 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. To install 'Attachments', unzip the download file and install the two plugins and the component. If you would like to subscribe to an email list for announcements about the Attachments extension, please visit: http://jmcameron.net/attachments/email-list.html Release 1.3.4 fixes problems with "Add Attachments" links and buttons displaying on pages generated by other extensions (such as JEvents). Release 1.3.3 includes a new search plugin (thanks to Paul McDermott!), a few improvements, and a several bug fixes. It also fixes a long-standing installation problem on hosting systems with versions of MySQL older than 4.1 (that did not directly support UTF-8). Attachments release 1.3.4 has been tested with Joomla! 1.5.6. An upgrade patch is available to upgrade from Attachments 1.3.3 to 1.3.4. (Note that an early version of this upgrade patch had problems; a new version has been posted.) Other features include optional secure attachment file storage and downloading, options to control the display of the attachment descriptions, file sizes, and modifications dates. Three user-defined fields are available. Attachments can be completely managed through the component manager in the administrative back end. The 'add attachments button' plugin adds a button at the bottom of the article editor to simplify adding attachments while editing articles. The search plugin enables searching attachment filenames and descriptions. The 'Attachments' extension does not work on any Joomla 1.0 releases. NOTE: If you are upgrading from an earlier version and want to retain your existing attachments, please read the file UPGRADE.txt inside the main installation zip file before uninstalling the previous version! 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. This extension will prevent uploads of file types not allowed by the Media Manager in order to prevent attaching of potentially dangerous file types such as HTML and PHP. You can add additional types (such as zip) via the Media Manager settings in the "Site" tab under the "Global Configuration" item in the "Site" system menu in the administrative back end. Language files are now in separate language packs and are not bundled with the main installation file. Translations are available for Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish. Thanks to all the translators for their assistance! If anyone wants to develop translation files for any other language, please contact me!
