Introduction

Downloads, File Management

The 'Attachments' extension for Joomla! allows files to be uploaded and attached to articles and other types of content. URLs can also be attached. 'Attachments' includes the ability to attach files and edit attachments from the front end as well as from the administrative back end. There are options to control who can see the attachments and who can upload them, along with many other options to increase its flexibility and usefulness. There are versions for Joomla 3, 4, and 5.

Attachments gives you several ways to add, edit, and delete your attachments on the front end, back end, and in article editors on the front and back ends (including during article creation). There are many options to control who can see attachments. When you add or edit attachments, page updates are done quickly without full page reloads.

If you plan to use this extension for sensitive files, use the 'Secure' mode. This provides secure storage of attachment files and prevents access by anyone without logging in.

INSTALLATION IS SIMPLE: Use the Joomla installer with the single installation zip file (available here or on github, see below). The component and all plugins are installed in a single step. Attachments uses the Joomla "upgrade" capability and can be installed over previous versions of Attachments.

WARNING: To uninstall Attachments go to the extension manager and search for: "Package: Attachments for Joomla". Uninstall it and it will uninstall the Attachments component and all Attachments plugins.

Versions of Attachments for Joomla 4 and 5 are available at:
https://github.com/jmcameron/attachments/releases
- Attachments 3.2.6 for Joomla 3.8.6 is also available for https://github.com/jmcameron/attachments/releases/tag/v3.2.6

Many thanks to Jean-Luc (https://github.com/JLTRY) and Theofilos (https://github.com/parapente) for their work updating Attachments to support Joomla 4 and 5!

Excellent component

I am using this component in several sites. It is very easy to install and configure.



I appreciate the option that downloads are just for registrated users only, if desired.



And the developer is very helpful. I experienced this myself when he solved a problem with documentrights within my site (which was my own fault after all).
