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,

Great Component



Posted on 05 March 2007
I have been running Remository on a busy site (currently serving 320 files with over 15,000 downloads) for the past 6 months and have not had any problems.

Good/Bad



Posted on 28 February 2007
This is the best I found so far but there are some issues with this component.



First one needs to figure this out without any docs. Then there is the fact that it points to a different location and will not allow you to download (receive 404 message)



I like its easy layout and icons.



I'm still fixing some problems it now and when I get this going then I may give a better rating.
Owner's reply: I don't understand what is meant by saying that Remository points to a different location and will not allow you to download. Remository supports files that are hosted either locally or remotely, and if it refused downloads, nobody would ever be able to use it, since the only way to obtain a copy is by downloading it from a Remository repository! If people report reproducible problems, then I fix them!
i tried out another buggy Download tool first (docman).

Now I Tried ReMOSitory and this is really wunderful.

Very easy to handle, less bugs and a perfect look !

Look an Funcions much better than every other Download Tool.

Only the SEF for Artio is not working, but im sure this is coming.

Good Work ! Go on !
This is one of the best joomla component! I use it on my website and its running very well!



Useful tool



Posted on 16 December 2006
This is a very useful and functional tool. I use it as well as Docman on several sites. Easy enough to set up and configure. Sure more features could be added but this works just fine as it is.



Thanks for making this available.
This software is fresh, up to date, and works great! I tried using DOCman and just hated it. This has an easy to use backend and offers everything I'd want for downloading and uploading things for my site. Nice stuff.

Great Component & simple using



Posted on 13 November 2006
great component, simple using dan user friendly interface.

thank to team work, we are waiting the next version.

Works Great



Posted on 25 October 2006
Works great. Easy to setup and maintain. Only think I require more is the ability to give front-end users the rights to create sub-folders. Everything else is great.
Apparently one needs to use other user group software than Community Builder to even start to get the groups feature going. It doesn't recongnize CB at all which isn't good and it doesn't support a logged in user even when that user is the admin.



Documentation is non-existant and the forums, while not dead, don't answer much. FAQ's are pointless.



Please write up user documentation on how to configure and use this and build in Community Builder support. Without the first this is an exercise in futility and until the second I see no use for it at all.

Pretty good



Posted on 05 June 2006
Basically the two main players for this type of component are Remository and DocMan. Neither is perfect, but I found Remository to generally have a better combination of ease-of-use, features and versatility. I did end up customizing it somewhat.
