Description

Features

Digital Projects Catalog

Component provides the creation and operation of digital projects catalog (programs, files, scripts, extensions, modules, etc.) and allows you to manage their description, characteristics and provides the ability of downloads.

Paid download

Thanks to the key manager, you can organize paid downloads on your site.
To do this, just select in the project "Download Type: Paid" and then you can download the file only if the key is specified.

Versioning

Component provides versioning of digital projects with the ability to specify the stability (Development, Alpha, Beta, Release Candidate, Stable) and changelog management.

Statistical functionality

Component includes statistical functionality with ability to track the count of downloads for each specific version.

File storage

File storage structure allows you to store files outside the root directory, which provides a high degree of protection and excludes downloading by direct link to the file, bypassing the component.

For Joomla! developers

Developers who create extensions for Joomla! CMS are provided with additional functionality for creating and running their own update server, as part of the component.

Changelog URL

In Joomla 4, in the admin panel before updating, there is an opportunity to view the changes made in the new version of the extension. You can also see them in the list of the extension manager in System - Management - Extensions when you click on the extension version. However, this is only possible if the XML manifest of the extension specifies the changelog URL, which contains a specially generated XML file with a description of the changes. This function has been added to SW JProjects.

• the file is generated automatically
• the data for describing changes are filled in based on the data specified when creating versions of the SW JProjects project
• the Changelog URL configuration option has been added to the component settings. This parameter specifies the default language for displaying information about the extension in the admin panel of a third-party site. For example, you have a multilingual website and you fill in the version information in 2 languages. This parameter determines in which language your users will see the information.
• the changelog link is automatically added to the XML of the update server. You need to add the link to the XML manifest manually.
• the codes for inserting the update server and changelog URL can be seen on the project editing page, Joomla tab
• added a Changelog view button in XML format to the toolbar with buttons on the project editing page
