Introduction
WM Downloads for Joomla Free download manager extension Lightweight, modern download manager for Joomla 6. Publish files and external links in a clean, searchable list — ideal for reports, factsheets, annual reports, submissions and document libraries. Requires Joomla 6.0+ · PHP 8.3+ · GNU General Public License version 2 or later · Package pkgwmdownloads. Package contents: comwmdownloads, module (latest downloads), and plgfinderwmdownloads (Smart Search plugin). Why this package? Sites that only need a simple, reliable way to: Store documents securely (not as open media URLs) Organise downloads by category Track download counts Mix real files with external links Present everything in a polished front-end list WM Downloads focuses on that job — without the weight of a full document management suite. The Finder plugin makes published files and links show up in site search. Version 2.4.3 is in pkgwmdownloadsv2.4.3.zip. The package includes plgfinderwmdownloads and enables it on install. Indexed fields: title, description, original filename, author, file type, and category. A result links to the download (the same SEF URL as the listing, e.g. /resources/download/5-file-alias). Saving, publishing, trashing, or deleting a download updates the index automatically. After you install the package: 1. Make sure System → Plugins → Content - Smart Search is enabled (core plugin). 2. Open Components → Smart Search → Index and click Index so existing downloads are picked up. 3. Put a Smart Search module in the site header, or a Smart Search → Search menu item. Until that index run, only items saved after install will appear.
