How to Add a Download Manager to Your Site

This week we'll walk you through how to set up a file download manager on your site.

We're going to use a component called RokDownloads

Here's how you do it:

Download the RokDownloads component from Rocket Theme.
In the administration area of your Joomla site, go to Extensions >> Install / Uninstall and upload the file to install.
In the administration area of your Joomla site, go to Components >> RokDownloads >> Configuration and set your preferences for the root download folder and other settings, and click Save.
Click on the 'Manager' link and set up your folders and upload the items you wish to offer as downloads on your site.
Create a link to your downloads as either a 'File Layout' offering a direct link to a file, or a 'Folder Layout' presenting a particular folder of files. Don't forget to have a look at the many options available in the Advanced Parameters for the link.

I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the guidance I've received. I didn't even know Joomla existed 2 months ago. But now, thanks to your help and 'hand holding' my first site is live and I'm thrilled! Thank you so much for your valuable service!
