About
----------
RD Download is a simpe download extension for Joomla 1.5 and PHP 5 only. It features embedding of downloads into content items, automated addition of new files into the database (directory watch) and a download counter.
Installation
-----------------------------
1. Install component (plugin will be automatically installed and published)
2. Create a download-dir
3. Set component parameters "Download dir" in backend.
If the value start with an / I suppose it is a absolut dir, if not then this must be a relative dir to joomla base dir
4. Set component parameters "Display warnings" in backend.
Update
-----------------------------
Deinstall the component and install the new one, keep in mind all Database tables where droped when deinstallation is processed. If you like to save your download counter backup the rd_download table and reimport the table after update.
How to use

2. Insert {rddl}filename.ext{/rddl} into a content item and browse to it
--> the new file will be displayed and automatically added to the database
3. If you want to change the dl-link text, change "title" in backend
4. If you want to change the download counter you can do this also in the edit view
* Assign a menu item to RD Download to get a list all published downloads

Very easy to install - after a single installation, both component and plugin are installed, and the plugin is published automatically.
Simple and easy to use, works perfectly.
My need was to add an attachment to an event (which is not a standard joomla article), and to count its downloads.
RD Download appeared to be the most suitable extension for that purpose.
Thanks to the developer!

It will be great if the component could operate with files outside of Joomla directory. Now if I set some directory outside of Joomla then the server sais 404 File Not Found.
Owner's reply
This is possible with the new version 0.9, please take a look at your open_basedir restrictions, you directroy must be under the open_basedir if set.
