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,

Add large banner ads



Posted on 06 May 2010
This component will add a very large advert on some of it's pages, this is a feature I do not like at all.
Owner's reply: Pity this reviewer didn't trouble with any research before criticizing an application that gives excellent service to many users. During a download (and nowhere else) Remository is capable of displaying a message, and by default it displays advertising which makes a small contribution to the Remository project. Remository is one of very few major applications that is so far still completely free in all respects.

It is not difficult to find out that the download message is admin configurable through the standard Remository admin interface, and anyone who thinks advertisements are not appropriate can change them to something else or nothing at all. Although I would ask people who do that to make some contribution to the project.

Great



Posted on 06 January 2010
This component is excellent,has many features,looks and works great.Thank you!

Great for documents



Posted on 21 December 2009
This document manager really works well. Yes, we had to make a number of adjustments to integrate it with our sites purpose. I like the ability to create groups and assign them to directories. Other document managers require you to assign the files and don't give you the ability with the directories.



I would like to see more plugin features for the extension, but overall a very nice option for those looking to manage large amounts of documents. We are looking at the "quick download" plugin now.

Excellent - One of the Best!



Posted on 11 December 2009
I am a joomla beginner and have been struggling with many, MANY components and modules over the last year - but this thing is truly one of the best.



Although it was a little confusing at first, I sent Martin an email and within 30 minutes he got back to me. I stopped by the forum and searched for a couple of answers and had the whole thing up and running within a couple of hours.



It installed super-duper easy, looks great and was a cinch to get the permissions to work exactly as described and exactly as needed.



This was truly a joy to find and employ - excellent work!

Extremely poor quality, to be avoided



Posted on 01 December 2009
In the past, Remository filled a gap as the only native Joomla 1.5 file repository with variable frontend view/download/upload permission rules. However, it has always had serious shortcomings and the current releases up to now in 2009 have not kept pace with alternative extensions. I would never recommend using Remository now in any circumstances.



Major Flaws:



*Does not do a clean install/uninstall, nor can it install or update all its extensions in a single package.



*Does not use the Joomla menu manager system properly and has no menu views to create. Appears to have major itemID issues which cause pain with common menu systems, core SEF and other SEF systems.



*Non-MVC and default views are extremely poor HTML/CSS.



*Backend interface is extremely cumbersome and poorly designed, making it difficult to manage a big repository with moderately complex permission rules.



*By default files are stored in the database as BLOBs. This is a unique feature, but for various reasons it should not be the default.



*Default icon set is unattractive old Mambo icons.
Owner's reply: I would dispute much of this, and note that the author declined to reply to my email request for more and better details of his claims. A lot of this is opinion and ignores the fact that very many people find Remository a highly functional and valuable application. If the author has specific problems, I can only wonder why they have not troubled to raise them, since Remository has a busy forum as well as a robust ticket system for support.

Excellent. Again.



Posted on 12 November 2009
I used this component on an older Mambo site and liked it. Recently setting up a new Joomla site, I tried some other components for download management. Nothing worked as well as Remository. So I downloaded the new Remository and found it to be better still. Nice work. I can't comment on the support, only because everything has worked easily enough that I haven't needed to contact him.

Better than the rest



Posted on 24 September 2009
Excellent component, close to all you'll need! After trying to configure Docman and others to have the functionality and permission restrictions I needed, I was happy to find Remository. After submitting a question on the support site, I was answered promptly and with confidence - which is a rarity. Thanks Remository!

Remository Is the best



Posted on 25 August 2009
Actually I tried a lot of download components , but none of them have all these features together



Here are some of its features :

1- organize files into categories (containers)

2- Make special user groups

From joomla groups or selective users

3- set auto approve roles per category

4- set who can Download , Upload , Edit

5- auto link to data already on server

6- save files to file system OR DataBase

7- set allowed extensions

8- set extensions To play with plugins (audio - video) in light box or other way

9- set maximum uploads for users

and maximum upload space

10- set maximum downloads for users



And the Best feature :

You can edit the component to look as you want through editing php files trailing with (HTML)

which are optimized to be edited by users who has No experience with php .. Just 5 minutes of reading you can change the whole look of Remository



Finally the support is great

Thanks Martin

Always Great Updates



Posted on 14 August 2009
I have been using this component for years and the updates always make it better. Keep up the great work Martin.

Easy to use!

Great! SEO-ready and easy to use. Thanks!
