Easy Docman List
Introduction
Display DOCman categories and documents in modern tables, lists, galleries, and folder trees: shortcodes in articles, a site module for positions, 24+ layouts, and a scoped 2026 UI with Font Awesome icons.
Easy Docman List is a Joomla content plugin and optional site module for Joomla 5. It requires DOCman by Joomlatools and wraps DOCman data in polished front-end layouts without replacing DOCman itself.
Use {docmanlist} shortcodes inside articles, or publish Easy Docman List modules in template positions. Pick flat or nested table, list, simple file list, image gallery, dropdown, cart, or category browser layouts. Version 5.0.0 ships a complete UI revamp under scoped edl- CSS so lists look consistent on any template.
Whether you run a downloads page, member document library, product spec hub, or nested folder archive, Easy Docman List helps visitors find files faster while editors stay in familiar Joomla and DOCman workflows.
Why site owners choose it
- DOCman-native: reads categories and documents from your existing DOCman library
- Two ways to publish:
{docmanlist}shortcodes in articles andmod_easy_docman_listin module positions - 24+ layouts: flat and nested tables, lists, galleries, dropdowns, carts, and category trees
- Grouped layout picker: human-readable admin labels instead of cryptic file names
- Category multi-select in the module: pick DOCman folders from a live tree
- Per-list overrides: layout, columns, ordering, expand/collapse, and cache per shortcode or module
- Modern 2026 UI: card-style list rows, responsive gallery grid, Font Awesome file icons, SVG placeholders
- Template safe: each instance wraps in
.edl-rootso CSS stays isolated - Copyable shortcode tab: ready-made examples in plugin settings
- DOCman 5 ready: NULL publish dates treated as published
Built for real document libraries
A download page is not only a bare file list. Visitors want clear folder structure, file size and date at a glance, and layouts that work on phone and desktop. Editors want category pickers, sensible defaults, and modules that inherit plugin settings when left blank.
Easy Docman List covers that loop on your own Joomla site: configure DOCman, enable the plugin, drop a shortcode or module, pick a layout, and refine columns and ordering.
Layouts visitors enjoy
Flat layouts
Table for spreadsheet-style downloads. List for card-style rows with title, actions, and meta. Simple file list for compact multi-column filename lists. Image columns and image list for thumbnail galleries. Dropdown for compact `` navigation. Cart layouts when DOCman cart integration applies. Categories for a top-level folder index.
Nested layouts
Every major flat layout has a nested variant (nestedtable, nestedlist, nestedimagecolumns, and more) that walks subfolders with expand/collapse chevrons. nestedcategories shows the category tree without listing every file.
Module wrappers
The site module adds Default, Card, and Bare chrome around the same DOCman output for sidebars and full-width demo pages.
Interaction that feels modern
Expand and collapse
Nested layouts use Font Awesome chevrons and vanilla JavaScript toggles. Set Show expanded and Auto expand level in plugin or module settings, or use shortcode keywords such as showCollapsed and autoExpandTwoLevels.
Responsive gallery grid
Image column layouts use CSS grid on gallery rows with configurable 2 to 5 columns. Lists reflow meta and download actions on narrow screens.
Multiple lists on one page
Plugin shortcodes and modules can share a page. Assets load once; each list keeps its own wrapper and layout class.
Perfect when you want
- DOCman files embedded in articles without custom PHP
- Sidebar or footer download modules that match article lists
- Nested folder browsing with tables or lists
- A category-only hub page before visitors reach files
- Consistent download styling across templates
- Joomla 5 with DOCman 4 or 5
