Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
J!Extranet is the perfect Joomla component that offers all the features a client area needs and unlike other solutions, it does not require an IT department while it allows you to tightly control user access.
The comprehensive security system allocates access to files according to each user access profile.
Features:
- all types of files accepted
- manage your files into folders/subfolders and grant access to a folder only to the desired users
- supports unlimited folders/subfolders/files/users and unlimited folder depth
- upload files by using a ftp client
- access rights are granted on the group level or to individual users
- choose the allowed folders/subfolders for each user
- it facilitates team work, as you can allow your users to upload their own files into folders
- different levels of access, the user can have access to the parent folder but not to the subfolders or he can have access to both (the parent folder and subfolders)
- you can set a time limit for each file (you have the option to choose the date when a file will become available and/or the date when a file will become unavailable)
- for each of your files you can add a multimedia preview: movie (mp4/flv), audio(mp3), pictures(jpg,png,gif)
- email notifications sent when new files are added
- the full set of options allows you to customize the way your front-end area looks and reacts
- user-friendly interface

After a long search I found this extension to create a private Area for my customers! It's very useful, easy to use and nice look.
For my error (I don't have read the tutorial with attention) I opened the ticket and I received answer within the hour (both on the forum and in private). Great support! Super!
Very useful the possibility to effectuate directly the login with Extranet.
Good work!
ByeBye

Fantastic component to any joomla installation. I've used it to host my clients invoices securely (saving me having to email them) and it serves that purpose beautifully. Also allows me to host client design work, just like a secure FTP yet I have all the control.
Things I would like to see added, are maybe some theme capability, blue kinda clashes with my design, and maybe options to remove some of the buttons in the client view. Ive disabled some of the more advanced features, and would like to remove the buttons to them.
But none the less, totally worth the money and a must have for any business with a joomla site!

Purchased the extension and am very pleased! Installed in less than 10 min. I needed a secured area for downloading pdf manuals for my customers only; not for all visitors. This extension does that wonderfully because it lets you choose who can download what! Had one additional request and got a reply from Ionut the same evening ! Thank you !
I was looking to create a ftp site with multiple login to allow various users to upload and upload files. JExtranet does the trick with a charm. Downloaded and installed the plugin within minutes.
I had some unique requirement and posted two different tickets on a Saturday and I received answer within the hour for each of them. Great support and product for the price. They have provided me with clear answers. Highly recommended.

This application works exactly as described and the support is stellar. We had an issue, wrote to Ionut and had a reply AND a fix in a few hours! Actually, it was outside the usual scope, yet Ionut was still willing to help--and fast. This helped us make an irritated client satisfied again. Thanks!
This extension perfectly replaced a homegrown client portal. Granular user permissions to a folder level. But be aware of a got'cha. The newest version 3.0 has many more features than 2.5. But this is not an upgradable extension per the developer. And because this extension stores files inside the database and not in a folder, if you want to upgrade to take advantage of Joomla 1.6 framework enhancements, you're basically stuck with starting over. And when you have 200+ files totaling 1.5 GB and 40 users, that's no small task. Bottom line. Run 3.0 on Joomla 1.6. Otherwise this extension performs wonderfully.
This extension is good, and was exactly what I was after. Unfortunately though there are no easy options to remove the "powered by" messages, and after paying for software I don't see what I should advertise it. Others have asked for the option to disable this, so can it please be put into the next release.

Hello,
We still don't have this option since we are working on version 3.0 where it will be removed.
Until then, we offered our support to each client who wanted to remove ""powered by" message.
So, it's not really true that "there are no easy options to remove", it's really simple, you just have to ask.
Regards,
Ionut
I have installed loads of different methods for managing users and group access to parts of the site, so far I have maybe spent $300 or more on them, and yes they work, they just never work either simply or well
I came accross this, demo looks a little basic but promising, so after much thinking I purchased it.
Was pleased with the initial results, it had every feature I needed badly
Unfortunately I have since found I can not display specific modules that are defined in Joomla to be only visible when specific users login whilst inside the Extranet, and sadly this renders the system useless for my needs.
Support were fast however were not able to offer the option of displaying modules around the main component, which is a real shame since I had always assumed a component would simply allow thi
s.
Their suggestion was good but way more complex than I had hoped and did not allow the fluidity I wanted on the site.
Sorry, good extension but it requires modification to allow module displays, otherwise it simply does not fit my design, and I am sure others will have similar issues.
Sadly yet more wasted money.

Thank you for your review but some things aren't true. Our component allows diplaying modules around the main component, it just not allows making them private (to be visible only to J!Extranet users) how you wanted.
This was possible like I explained if you will embed the module inside the component but this didn't fit your demands.
So it's not any problem with our component, it's just the problem that you wanted something different.
This was needed...
Feedback:
add press kit area and media kit area to your extension description in the JED.
My only gripe is I had to edit 3 pages to remove the powered by stuff on a tool I paid for... I make sites that look good and that requires removing as many powered by tags as possible. Make that an option in settings.

Thank you for your feedback! We will add this feature in the future version.
After a long searching and testing for some good extensions (but non perfectly fitting my purpouses) I found Extranet. It does few things but very usefull.
Many extensions for download doesn't give the idea of a real private area, without accessing and viewing other files and containers in the download repository. Extranet simply do this. You can register to the Extranet and after approve by administrator you can get your private area assigned from backend and see and download just your files. Nothing of other users.
Important notice about the excellent and very quick and helpful support.
I suggested them some improvement about multilanguage support and add the option to register user from backand only also.
The extension is not free, but I think if you get a very good support it's correct to pay a cheap price.

Thank you for your review!
We will for sure add new features in the second version, we are working on this to realease as soon as possible.
The multilanguage support for the front-end as well as the option to register user from the back-end it will be between these new features.
Nice component for Joomla! have some nice features with ACL but to name its real J!Extranent long way. First you have to work to add some options like in others extranet/intranet applications.
Owner's reply
Thank you for your words, we appreciate your interest!
You must keep in mind that is the first version and, depending on people's needs and based on their feedback, new options will be added in the future versions.
Also, in this price are included all the future updates, new versions, and support.
