TYPO3 Downloadmanager - Public-Download
This plugin is used for displaying publicly available downloads. You only have to place this plugin on one page and configure it with the following settings. Which downloads are displayed is determined via the data that is assigned and the access data entered. To view public downloads:
Switch to the ![module-page] {.inline-image} pages module and open the page on which you would like to provide downloads.
In the content area, click on Create new content element and select the Downloadmanager - Public-Download.
You will find the extension options on the Plug-In tab as normal - here we first want to look at the General tab, which looks like this:
Template: Choose what your downloads will look like. If you select List, your downloads will be displayed as a list and if you select Tile, your downloads will be shown as tiles. Depending on the configuration of your system, further selection options may be available.
Download file collections: Select one or more file collections to be displayed in the frontend. The order in the frontend is the same as in this selection.
Show columns (Use sorting for column ordering): Choose what information is displayed about your downloads.
- File title: File title, assigned in the file list module.
- File name: Filename in the file system.
- File modification date: Date the file was last modified.
- File creation date: Date the file was created.
- File size: File size.
- File description: Description of the file that was assigned in the file list module.
The order of this information can be changed using the sequence in the selection. Select at least one entry here.
You can change the order of your downloads under the Sorting tab - here you have the following settings:
Sorting fields (First one is the default sorting): Here you can specify how your downloads are sorted. If you select more than one value here, a setting is displayed in the frontend so that your visitors can choose the sort order themselves. The uppermost would then be the standard sort order.
Warning:
When sorting by title, make sure you have entered a title in the file list module - otherwise not all downloads may be displayed in the frontend!
Finally, save the plugin by clicking on the
save button and view the result in the frontend.
