This extension is providing downloads & uploads of files stored in the DAM via the frontend. The user is able to select his downloads very comfortable thru a category tree. Also the extension is delivering the files by a “pushfile.php”, so that fileadmin folder can be secured by a .htaccess file. DAM records can be edited via frontend.
A second plugin (“DAM Frontend Filelist”) is displaying a list of files (selected manually by a backend user).
This extension should used by people who have the need of store a lot of files in the DAM and want to make them downloadable. Also all files will be displayed / downloaded of the originally dam files. So no files will be copied in the media/upload folder.
We are looking for sponsors to add additional features to this extension. Our goal is to have all possibilities of the DAM in the backend to frontend and some more!.
Projects:
language overlay for dam records (currently only categories are supported)
better versioning (add new version, compare version..)
rewrite with extbase (cleaner design, better templating, unit tests, future proof)
