Attachments for Joomla 4

Post by sylwekb » Thu Jun 23, 2022 1:46 pm

Hallo

I wanted to add to my website the functionality of adding attachments to articles from the administration panel. I have installed and published the addon below. However, I don't see a field for adding attachments anywhere. Does anyone use this addon? How to run it to add attachments?

Published in 2013 do you think that will work with J4?

Yes, Joomla 4.1 please look https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/dpattachments/

Installed and published right. However, I can't see the window to add attachments anywhere from the administration panel.

Your first url for the product went to a 2013 version hence my question.
From the second url I saw "After a successful installation configure the component, modules and the plugins and publish them." Have you done all that?

I have plugins turned on and configured, but I can't see the field for adding an attachment anywhere.

I have just downloaded it to a test site, log in to the front end and the selection box is at the bottom of the article.

Can attachments be added only from the frontend? Can't add to a specific article in the administration panel?

There is an add-on that added attachments to the administration panel and from the administration panel, but unfortunately it is only for Joomla 3 https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/attachments/

Sorry I have gone as far as I am going with this extension, I suggest that you read the docs. I do not see any advantage to this over core joomla I have now uninstalled it.Good luck.

In the admin panel, after saving the article, you can add the desired attachment in the attachments tab.
