The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This extension allows me to add student handouts to articles in pdf or doc form. It adds great functionality to our website

I am very impressed at all of the features that this extension offers. There were a couple of comments below about an inability to display attachments after the "Read More" button, and not liking the "Add Attachment" link appearing on all frontend articles when an author-level user is logged-in. I was able to address both of these issues by adding "frontpage" to the "Hide Attachments for" setting on the Parameters setup page.

I agree with others that this deserves being a core Joomla component.

Thanks for the great work.

Does everything you expect an attachment manager to do, does it very well and sets up in minutes.

Outstanding job.

very straightforward extension to accomplish adding attachments as contents in articles; easy install and setup

I installed this & then it stopped working... After a lot of troubleshooting & some great support from Jonathan (especially when you consider this is FREE software...) it transpired that it was a parameter I had accidentally changed. Changed this back - all OK - great functionality....

Great little extension. Incredible support, quick and efficient. Looking forward to more work from you.

it is great tool. but I do not like add "Add Attachments" link to every article in frond end. it is too much for my home page.

also, there is a error when display 4 ico, for edit,pdf,attachment .....

So easy to install - all plug-ins install automatically with the component installation - a one-step install! For me this was EXACTLY a solution I needed for my website - to be able to have articles with corresponding files that a user can download rather than redirecting a user away from an article to some other place to download a file. The back end is easy and straightforward. EXCELLENT all around! Jonathan is very responsive and very helpful - he had total patience with my basic-level skills and solved a problem I had with a Joomla setting that was getting in the way of this extension from working fully - but it was not a problem with his extension. Problem was fixed and I am up and running! I look forward to other works from Jonathan!

I needed a way to easily attach files for download so that my client could do it themselves. Great for that. And I like that you can customize the filename so it will display 'download' or whatever you want instead of a cumbersome filename.

The only drawback is that you can't put a downloadable file in a module. That's what I really needed, and can't do it with Attachments.

This has to be the most beautiful Piece of work!

The only thing I would recommend is allowing the same file to be placed in more than 1 article so the HITS are tracked site-wide, but either way, it's perfect! 1 Main download page would be nice too. Then this would replace all download managers. Amazing work!

This component is exactly as I want. But I don't want to place before "readmore" link the attachement. It brakes two columns layout of the home page. I used custom placement with {attachments} but it is still there before "readmore". I think this is surmountable issue.

This is superb component. I had looked at docman and edocs in the past. This meets my purpose very well in terms of attaching documents to articles. The front end access is very helpful as well. Great job folks!

Wow, this is so easy a child can use it! I struggled with Phoca a bit but I simply installed, enabled and then set the parameters (settings) and that was that! thank you!

This is excellent tool for attachment, but it is not valuable for front end. Kindly if author of this plugin could make its security level i.e
WHO CAN ADD ATTACHMENTS to all level
i mean
Author ,Publisher, Administrator, Super Administrator all categories for joomla backend and front end panel....
Else tool is complete package, Regards

Attachments is just what has been missing in Joomla. Does exactly what it says and works well.
Thanks for the extension.

Had a minor issue with the component but had quick and good response from developer with a workaround.
One minor thing is that certain file extensions give more than one icon is displayed against the attachment which can make the output a bit "messy". As a future, perhaps allow editor to choose if more than one icon displayed or not. Otherwise a great little extension.

What a terrific job. I used this extension in development for the past month and have been very pleased with it. Version 2.0 came out, though, at just the right time. For my user group, the ability to add an attachment while the article is first being created is HUGE. The prior two-step process worked well, but was inconvenient and turned off professional users (lawyers) with little time or technical ability. For them (as for most), simplicity is critical.

This capability is clearly needed for Joomla's core, and I can't imagine a better solution than to just adopt this. Drupal had a decent article file attachment capability years ago; I'm not sure about Wordpress. The lack of the ability to attach files to articles in Joomla's core was, for me, its biggest weakness.

Cameron has done a tight coding job on the front and back ends, documented it beautifully, and by all accounts his support is top-notch (I haven't needed it yet, but I haven't yet used all Version 2.0's new functionality.) He even has a Mailman mailing list for new developments and news.

The existence of this extension makes my site work, especially with Version 2. I haven't yet seen a commercial package of any type that beats this for quality.

I couldn't recommend it more highly and give Cameron my compliments and thanks.

Great work though one thing is missing to have it working for me, help me if at all possible ;)

I want to be able to attach files to an article but have the link appear at a set place in the page outside the article zone, not according to how long the article is.

Now I can attach my article with pdf. That's nice! Unfortunatelly I use flexicontent right now and It seems doesn't support flexicontent in front-end.

If you're looking for a simple way to attach documents to articles, this is your extension. Very simple to use, with a nice backend Administration list as well. Solid!
