OSDownloads is the easiest way to add downloads to Joomla.
We're really happy to announce that we've given the extension a complete overhaul and also have OSDownloads Pro available.
There's no part of OSDownloads that isn't better with today's release. We've improved the user interface. We've added features. We've cleaned up the code. By a long distance, this is the biggest ever update for OSDownloads.
Here's an overview of what's new in OSDownloads:
The Easiest Way to Add Downloads to Joomla
We've focused on making it as easy as possible to add downloads.
It really is as simple as this:
- Go to Components > OSDownloads > Click New
- Give the document a name.
- Click "Upload File".
- Click Save.
That's it. We've automatically filled in everything else for you. You tweak the settings later, but making your documents is a simple, 4-step process.
Social Sharing and Emails
One of the things that makes OSDownloads different from other extensions, is that it has an email gateway and social sharing built in.
You can require people to enter their email address before downloading.
You can also require people to send a tweet or like your page on Facebook before they download.
After clicking to download the file, the users will see a screen like this:
If you choose to require an email address, those emails will be recorded inside OSDownloads. You can also connect them automatically to MailChimp:
Demo / Documentation / Support Links
Each document comes with the ability to add links.
We originally developed OSDownloads to provide downloads for our own extensions. In a future version of OSDownloads Pro, we'll make these fields more customizable.
