I just wanted to manage my K2 Attachments.

I have attached three files:

1) My brief instructions on how I did it.
2) An image of what K2 Dashboard looks like.
3) An image of what my Attachments Manager looks like.

Wayne

A zip file containing all of the files that are required to add an Attachments Manager to the K2 cpanel.

unzip contents into the "administrator/components/com_k2" folder. Allow replace of existing files.

The file list:

Nicely done.

I have just installed it and it works great.

Thanks for sharing.

You are so welcome!

Thanks for the followup note!

Thanks for sharing.

After a considerable amount of testing and now actually having used K2 on a live site for just over a week and currently working K2 into the development of three new sites, I have begun to realize the considerable amount of bugs K2 possesses. But, I also realize the extraordinary capabilities the K2 component possesses, as it eliminates the need for a multitude of separate components and combines them intuitively into one search engine optimized and user optimized interface.

I believe the cumbersome concept of a separate but semi-mirrored document repository that exists apart from the search engine optimized default Joomla content is a thing past. K2 delivers the capabilities of both into a single component and also adds the capabilities of several other components to its feature set.

I'm glad to see your contribution and hope to eventually see file publishing integrated into the K2 Tools Module. I await next Tuesday's bug release and will look to integrate this feature soon thereafter. THANKS!!!!!

Wayne, thanx man! It works just as expected to.

Hi Wayne, this is a great addition and I will be implementing it on my site today :)
I've been searching the forum for a solution to another issue i have with attachments - but with no luck. I thought I might ask you here as you seem to understand the inner workings a little better than me.....
When a site visitor clicks on the attachments link to download an attachment I really need a popup that asks them to enter there email and name before they can download the attachment. I then need there name, email and the name of the attachment they downloaded to be sent via email to the site administrator!!
Do you have any idea how i could achieve this?
Cheers
Emily

Hi, is anyone able to update this admin Attachment Manager add-on to work with K2.2+. I don't think the original author Wayne is around any longer?

Dev's could this be implemented into the core by JW team?
Regards
Mark

anyone knows how to edit attachment titles or attribute? please any work around or solutions aside from using phpmyadmin :(

I also need to edit the attachment info.

So is the only option to delete all the attachements for that item and start over?

Has anybody gotten this to work with K2 2.xx ?
