Introduction

Downloads, File Management

The 'Attachments' extension for Joomla! allows files to be uploaded and attached to articles and other types of content. URLs can also be attached. 'Attachments' includes the ability to attach files and edit attachments from the front end as well as from the administrative back end. There are options to control who can see the attachments and who can upload them, along with many other options to increase its flexibility and usefulness. There are versions for Joomla 3, 4, and 5.

Attachments gives you several ways to add, edit, and delete your attachments on the front end, back end, and in article editors on the front and back ends (including during article creation). There are many options to control who can see attachments. When you add or edit attachments, page updates are done quickly without full page reloads.

If you plan to use this extension for sensitive files, use the 'Secure' mode. This provides secure storage of attachment files and prevents access by anyone without logging in.

INSTALLATION IS SIMPLE: Use the Joomla installer with the single installation zip file (available here or on github, see below). The component and all plugins are installed in a single step. Attachments uses the Joomla "upgrade" capability and can be installed over previous versions of Attachments.

WARNING: To uninstall Attachments go to the extension manager and search for: "Package: Attachments for Joomla". Uninstall it and it will uninstall the Attachments component and all Attachments plugins.

Versions of Attachments for Joomla 4 and 5 are available at:
https://github.com/jmcameron/attachments/releases
- Attachments 3.2.6 for Joomla 3.8.6 is also available for https://github.com/jmcameron/attachments/releases/tag/v3.2.6

Many thanks to Jean-Luc (https://github.com/JLTRY) and Theofilos (https://github.com/parapente) for their work updating Attachments to support Joomla 4 and 5!

Excellent component for publication of attachments in the article

I use various types of attachments to download documents in pdf, doc, xls and other formats.

Ease of use
I use my site in Joomla 3.9.25 for various types of attachments for downloading documents in pdf, doc, xls and other formats.
Support
On-site support only. It is a pity that there is no version of the component for Joomla 4 yet at the moment.
Documentation
The component is quite easy to use. Extensive documentation is not needed.

Nice but could be better

It works really good even if it should need something to search attachments using their names and not only the ID in the URL.
Ease of use
Really easy to use since u don't need to manage some article direct link. It doesn't work for me if the profile level feature is enabled
Support
I never used the support before. I'd like to say that there is still a short tag inside 2 default dot php file , upload and update
Documentation
Really useful and complete

First installed in 2008 for our school website. Still by far one of the most important plug-ins we've needed.
Ease of use
Operationally - perfect for our authors needs. However, the way Attachements calls Mootools-More has caused an ADA compliance issue.
I used this to: Use to use Mootools Enabler/Disabler to resolve single ADA empty link issue, but this now caused script issues (slideshow would not appear) with recent Smart Slider 3 addition. Moved to Disable Mootools by ExtensionBase... and both issues now resolved.

Really Good. Beats its competition

Click n go. Perfect functionality, but needs some modernization in its looks. Can be done with your CSS as I did.
Ease of use
Really easy, with only a little sass if you need some complicated settings. But for users who want just upload n go, this is what you need!
I used this to: Two websites for uploading documents.

Documentation
Did not find any documentation
I used this to: Joomla 3.6.4
Owner's reply: To find the documentation, go to the Attachments manager in the back end and click on the "Help" button on the right end of the toolbar.

This really ease the housekeeping of files While it may not fit in some use case, Attaching to the page is a simple and clear organization.
Ease of use
I find that casual editors do not find it too hard, also the ergonomics could be rethink for them. For visitors it's really easy.
I used this to: An extranet with educational material for young people around the world in different languages.
