This is just what it says Easy! Also it has very useful features that make the presentation of material flexible. Actually getting the extension was difficult - the web site and shopping facility are confusing - a simple faq may help to give the exact steps for paying and subsequently downloading the product would be helpful. Good work and for a small fee brilliant!
This is a good application. I like the simplicity interface. My only suggestion is that the support documentation has to be improved. Michael, I think the public would not mind to pay a little bit more if documentation is upgraded within the coming weeks or months.
I want to insert the code in different articles to link to different folders. This is where I am stuck. Please how do I proceed?
Also remember that most web designers are not necessarily programmers so the app can be simplified for every body, nerd or designer.
Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to write your review. I will certainly do my best to improve the current documentation. However, please keep in mind that there is a support site (http://support.michaelgilkes.com) that is available with answers to many questions, including the one you currently pose. Also, there is a "Contact Us" form on the website that you can use to contact me directly. I typically respond to most inquiries the same day (that is, within 24 hours). I am more than happy to assist you in your question.
Very easy to use
This plugin works great, it shows the directory tree you choose nice and smooth.
I had some problems with the WYSIWYG editor who added tags in html code that avoided the plugin to work and some jquery rules in the template that caused the plugin filter and button don't work properly. All these issues solved by the developer who connected to my admin page and find out the causes. Perfect support from him, i really appreciated it.

I needed a simple way to display a PDF that would force a download. Besides Docman this was it. Installing Docman for a single download is like building a bridge to get across a puddle. Besides that it has tons of options for configuration and multiple downloads/folder listings.
The most impressive thing is the support. I had a problem that was preventing a interactive PDF from working and the developer was immediately working on fixing it and wasn't giving up until it was fixed.
Highly recommended and perfect for offering files up on your site. Also worth more than the asking price.

I really like this plugin for a compact and intuitive way to display documents and downloads. Lots of great features and options to control the functionality and the look.
And a big thanks to Michael for his fantastic support of the product. I had a configuration issue with another plugin on my site. Michael jumped right on it and was able to help me resolve the issue right away.
Excellent app! Great support! I highly recommend this plugin.

For my situation, we have folders of documents which get updated regularly. This fantastic plugin allows users to view folders, and subfolders and links are automatically generated to allow users to view / download files.
There were some slight problems at first (down to me using Windows hosting rather than Linux) but Michael offered a fantastic level of support, both on his blog and through email. For 4 dollars (£2.50) this saves so much time. Cannot recommend enough!!

I was looking for a long time for such module /or plugin to ease the publication of file folders. I found it here and I appreciate the very quick support for the author (Michael). Easy to configure - ok ok I know it's in the name :-) - but still quite flexible in the parameters to adapt it to your needs.
Fair price (very reasonable) for what it brings to me ! Thx Michael !
