Basic But Very Useful
byjacomstephens, December 31, 2009
This does what it says it does and it is very useful. But it sure would be handy to have some more options. For example, the option to open a new window (target=blank) when linking to a file or even open them with the YOOgallery or similar plugin where it grays the background and animates the opening of an image preview. I don't know how that would work for files that aren't graphics (ie: PDF, ZIP, DOC, etc.) but it would be have a slick preview of the images. Or maybe even the option to have it SAVE the file when the user clicks on the link, instead of OPENING it.

A before text field where I could put some intro text before the list of files would be nice too.

Also, I may be the only one who wants this feature, but it would be nice to have a plugin as well so I could publish the file list wherever I wanted instead of just in a module position.

I'd be willing to pay a little for those additional features (in addition to being able to remove the version and link to author at the bottom). But even with only the very basic features, this is a useful module. Thank you for providing it.

All html is available in a template file, which is located here:

modules/mod_jxlistfiles/tmpl/default.php

This can also be overridden via your Joomla template.


You can change the html to add target to the anchor tag, as well as removing the link/version info.

Opening images via some preview script should also be possible to add in the html.

Unfortunately, to save files I think you would need a script to deliver the file.


To use the module as a plugin, I think there are wrapper plugins available to run any module in a page.
