Joomla download manager design: 5 themes included

Dropfiles download manager themes

Dropfiles download manager comes with 5 themes included in the extension, but there are not just themes! They change the way you make your files available to your customers. The system is also extremely flexible because you can apply a theme per category of files if you like. Furthermore, each theme can be set up differently for each file category!
The themes included in the download manager are:

  • Standard file listing that suit the major part of document management websites because 100% of the display is configurable
  • The Preview theme displays an automatic file preview instead of file icon
  • Google Drive inspired download theme
  • Table theme to display numerous documents
  • Accordion file tree

File access full control using the Joomla ACL system

When you manage files, you may have to setup download access for users, and it's always complex to do so. In Dropfiles, we've used Joomla native ACL in a smart way. Manage file visibility with a single click from the category or from a single download. For the document management, define allowed actions rules based on actions (who is allowed to update, delete, edit, edit own files or even download it). Furthermore, it's possible to restrict the access to a file or a file category to a selection of Joomla users.

File download and Joomla access permission

Simply the easiest Joomla download manager

We mean it - it's straightforward. It's essentially like managing documents on your desktop file browser. For example, you can change file ordering, change levels of file categories, move, copy with drag'n drop. And everything is saved with AJAX - on the fly. Adding new downloads? Just drag'n drop one or multiple files.

Easiest File Manager Ever

Flexible document search engine

Flexible and Advanced File Search Engine

Managing a massive number of files goes with a powerful search engine. This is included in the Joomla extension and in addition, you can generate multiple and custom search engines with filters like:

  • Full-text search in documents (in word, PDF…) with auto-index of new documents on upload
  • Category of files filtering
  • File tag system displayed as checkbox or predictive search filters
  • Date of file upload range filter
  • Date of file update range filter
  • Document preview in search results
  • File ordering by type, date, category on column title click

The download manager theme that fit your Joomla template

Usually when you add an extension to your Joomla website, what follows is an arduous process to apply a design that fits your Joomla template. This won't be the case anymore as you can apply your colors with a color picker and display or hide the file info that you want. Furthermore, the extension comes with the possibility to create an override theme in one click.
