A download directory: files on the server or linked from Amazon, Dropbox and Box, categories with access rules, and downloads in exchange for an email address passed on to MailChimp.
OSDownloads by Joomlashack is a component for a downloads section: price lists, manuals, installers or e-books. Files are managed in the familiar Joomla interface. It also works as a lead collection tool, since a file can be released only after a visitor enters an email address.
Features
- Files are uploaded to the server or linked from Amazon, Dropbox, Box or another service.
- File categories with access limited by user group.
- A required email before download, with addresses sent to MailChimp and Constant Contact.
- Joomla custom fields on files, both to show extra details and to ask visitors for data such as name, phone and interests.
- Downloads unlocked by a social action, for example a tweet or a Facebook like.
- A responsive file page with text before and after the download button.
