Remository, by Martin Brampton - Joomla Extension Directory

Introduction

Downloads

If you have large volumes of information you need to securely store, annotate and share at super-fast speeds, you'll love the latest version of Remository,


Introducing the all-new Remository - the file repository created for Joomla 4.x and 5.x CMS, that's still compatible with 3.10.x.

With its fully updated user interface, the new Remository offers total compatibility with both Joomla 4.x and Joomla 3.10.x, while highly flexible access controls let you fine tune precisely who sees your information.

As your files don't need to exist in a file system, you can safely store and protect them from exploits, then deliver them at ultra-fast speeds using Amazon S3. Whether you need to distribute technical manuals, spreadsheets, or software driver downloads, or anything else, Remository is the file repository that's been built for the digital age.

The NEW Remository gives you:

  • list text hereSecure file storage and easy migration - Database or S3 storage protects from exploits and allows for easy movement of information

  • File delivery using Amazon S3 - Overcome web hosting limitations and let Amazon deliver your files at ultra-fast speed, removing overheads on your server

  • Ability to sell downloads by subscription - Combine Remository with software like Membership Pro and use the Joomla Update Server feature, to assign role based access to specific user groups

  • Smart Folder Organisation - Nest folders to any depth, with text descriptions for folders and files

  • Multiple Plugins - Including Quickdown, so information can be embedded in web articles

  • Independent access control – Fine tune user group access for each folder and restrict uploads, downloads, editing and auto-approve separately

  • Fast, super-efficient search - Search by file titles or descriptions

  • Optional user ratings & Integrated Comment feature – Receive feedback and let users add comments to your files

  • Easy customisation - Numerous options, add thumbnails, version, title, author info & more

  • Information modules - Access repository data easily, discover newest & popular files, etc…

  • Full Tech Support - Professional help to fix any issues you experience with Remository

All major Remository pages are now in Joomla style views (or layouts), so that you can override them via Joomla template overrides. Likewise the CSS can be overriden. The Remository language definitions have migrated from the old style "defines" to .ini files. Again, these can be overriden. Unfortunately, the transition means that the numerous translations are not currently available. Currently French language is provided. Offers to translate into other languages welcome.

Please note particularly that the configuration page for admin has been replaced by the use of Joomla "Options". It is advisable to review the options and save any changes before going into live use.

There is new documentation (still being added to) available for you to read.

Remository is available by recurring annual subscription, for just $49. Your subscription includes access to our professional technical support services, so if you have any issues with Remository, you can get them sorted straight away.

I hope you enjoy using the all-new Remository,

Very nice extension

I've been using DOCman for several months, but decided to take a look at Remository for a new website. Wow, what a difference. All the same features, but much easier to manage. In addition, it is substantially faster than DOCman. Unless something new comes along, I will be sticking with Remository.
Easy to install, configure and manage. Simpler to use than docman, but with the same usability and supports 1.5 natively.



I don't think people can fault the administrator's support commitments, this guy has provided a free and open source solution that anyone can add to, maintain and support themselves.

not bad

I guess this extension is the best download manager at the moment.

But please if you release your extensions in a compressed file don't add the .svn files with it, we don't want and need all that mess on our server, there is a function in SVN where you can export the files in a clean way for release, use it!
Owner's reply: Thanks, although your comments sound rather grudging! The .svn comment is somewhat nitpicking. I often do use export, but in any case the subversion files do not stay on the server, since they are not in the packaging XML.

Awesome Component

This component is great. The support is more than you would expect from one man, he's really quick at responding and is honest with you which is great.



The backend could have a few extra features but when you have the developer answering your questions, well you can do just about anything.



I am just in the midst of customizing this a little more to suit my site, could be easier to do a few things but overall the install was straight forward (aka upload and install) and the backend functionality is fairly straightforward although it could use some alt-hover tags to explain here and there.
I use the tool more then one year and it works fine.

The support by martin is better then any commercial one! Reaction time less then one hour, lot of patience...

Perfectly great!

Great Component

Others have said what I have to say. I tried DocMan and unfortunately couldn't even get it installed. I generally have no problems installing stuff on my Joomla sites.



This one went up in a matter of seconds and works beautifully. I had some issues with my Config file cuz my hosting setup can be weird, and Martin provided awesome personal support via his forum and also email.

Very good extension



Posted on 23 April 2008
Maybe it's up to my setup of Joomla! but some other components refused to work properly with 1.* and I pick this one. Installation is painfully and very easy. After a five minutes I got functional thing in my site that looks very professional but easy to use. Thanks man.
Well, Remository is an old and very mature component since old Mambo days and still is the most reliable downloads component. All recomendations!

Very useful

We've used Remository almost exclusively without issues. It's been a great resource for our sites, and hasn't produced any errors.



Great component!

Solid and runs on 1.5 *native*

Does exactly what it says it does. And, it runs on J! 1.5 Native Mode.
