DOCMan is an open source document management and download system for Joomla! With this component you can manage documents across categories and make them available for download. These are the main features of DocMan:

  • Infinite categories and subcategories. The documents can be organized across custom categories and subcategories.

  • Custom groups support. Documents can be owned by a specific registered user, a groups os registered users, all registered users or everybody.

  • Download counter and log. You can display a download counter per document and all the downloads can be logged* (by user, IP, browser, date and hour).

  • Own search system. Documents can be searched by name and/or description.

  • Online editor. Plain text files can be edited online.

  • History and archiving system. All documents can use the history description and be archived to later retrieve.

  • Mass group e-mail function. A user assigned to a group can e-mail other group users to discuss a document.

  • Anti-leech system. The built-in anti-leech system avoids direct linking to documents.
