A. Introduction

You might be wondering, “How can I offer files to download off of my website?” With Joomla!, it is possible to do this using an included feature called Media Manager. Files might include PDFs, word documents, or just pictures. The nice part about storing your documents and files through the Media Manager is that Joomla! takes care of uploading everything for you. This means that if you want to insert an image or a file link into one of your content pages, it doesn’t require as much work as using FTP (file transfer protocol) to put the files on your web server.

B. Joomla! Configuration
First off, you have to make sure that your Joomla! website is setup so that it can accept the files that you want to upload.
1. Go to your Administrator page and log in. Then go to the menu bar, select ‘Site’ and then press ‘Global Configuration’ from the list.
Caution: You might ask why there needs to be such settings. The main reason is so that unwanted files are not uploaded to your site which might be dangerous.
2. Click on the ‘System’ tab. Then find the area titled ‘Media Settings’. This is where all of the Media Manager settings are held.
3. Figure out what files you’ll need to upload, and then make sure that their file extension is included in the ‘Legal Extensions’ list. Each file extension is separated by a comma.
Caution: This setting is not always applicable, because the maximum file size supported by PHP might be lower than the one set in Joomla! For more information about how to change the maximum file upload in PHP, go here.
4. Make sure that each of the files you’re planning to upload will be small enough to transfer to the web server. The setting for ‘Maximum Size’ is set at 10 Mb, a good size for most documents you might need to upload.
5. The rest of the settings should generally not be touched.

C. Uploading to the Media Manager
We’re now going to upload our file to our Website and create a folder for the files.
1. Go back up to ‘Site’ on the menu bar and press ‘Media Manager’ from the list.
2. You will see a page that lists all the different files that are already in the Media Manager.
3. At the top of the area titled ‘Files’, there is a textbox for adding our own folder. Type in a name for your folder (mine will be named “documents”) and then press ‘Create Folder’.
4. Now, click on the folder you just created in the center area. There should be nothing in this folder.
5. Go to the bottom of the ‘Files’ area, and press ‘Browse Files’.
6. A dialog box will appear. Navigate to the file on your computer that you want to upload (As an example, the file will be called ‘test.pdf’).
Caution: The file name cannot contain spaces, otherwise it will not upload. It is good practice to keep your file names as descriptively simple as possible, so that they can be used the next time you need them.
7. Press ‘Start Upload’ as soon as the file appears below. The file will transfer as indicated by the progress bar. Your file should appear in the folder now. If it doesn’t, make sure that your settings for the Media Manager are correct in the Global Configuration.
Caution: If the progress bar turns yellow and says ‘Unsupported media type’ then you have not included, in the media settings, the file type of the file you’re trying to upload.

D. Linking to the File in Your Article
Now we need to put a link to our file in an article.
1. Go up to ‘Content’ on the menu bar, and then click ‘Article Manager’.
2. Select the article that you would like to put the file link in, or create a new article by pressing ‘New’ on the toolbar.
3. Once you are in the editor, select the text you want to use for the link to the file. Press the ‘Insert/Edit Link’ button indicated by a chain in the TinyMCE editor toolbox.
Caution: Your default editor might be different if you have changed any settings since installation. You can change the default editor back to TinyMCE in ‘Global Configuration’ under ‘Site’ on the menu bar.
4. A box will pop-up asking information about the link. For the textbox labeled ‘Link URL’, enter the following: /images/documents/test.pdf
Caution: Be sure to change the name of the folder from ‘documents’ and ‘test.pdf’ to whatever you set earlier.
5. The only other thing you might need to change is the ‘Target’ textbox. This specifies where you want the link to open up.
6. Press the ‘Insert’ button to put it on the article page. 
8. Test the link on your site to make sure everything is working fine. You’ve managed to add a link to an article pointing to a file in the Media Manager.
Congratulations, now you can serve up all sorts of files to visitors of your website using Joomla!

E. Deleting Files and Folders in the Media Manager
What if you’re done with a file/folder and want to delete it? Follow these instructions.
1. Go to the Media Manager, navigate to the file/folder you want to delete and then press the red ‘x’ next to the name.
2. If you want to do multiple deletions at once, press multiple checkmarks and then press the ‘Delete’ button up on the toolbar.
3. Don’t forget that you need to remove the link in your article, otherwise your user will see a ‘page not found’ error. Go to the article where the link is, highlight the link itself, and then press the ‘Unlink’ button indicated by the broken chain in the TinyMCE editor toolbox.
4. Save and the link will be gone.
Caution: Joomla! will not warn you when you delete something, so make sure you are very careful when using this page. Don’t forget to make periodic backups of all your files!

Log Into Joomla!’s back end:
Go to your Joomla! website and log into the back end by typing in your user details.(Figure 1)

Create a New Category in the Contacts Component:In Joomla!’s back end menu, go to the components menu. In the list of sub menu’s that drop down you will see the contacts manager. The contacts anager also has sub menus that pop out to the right. Select the categories menu. (Figure 2)

Note: Category Aliases are totally optional, but strongly recommended for Joomla! 1.5 default Search Engine Optimized URLs. (SEO URLs)

While it isn’t required, you might want to go ahead and put in a description of the contact category you’ve created. (Figure 5)

Once you have a title, alias and description you can save the contact category. Saving the category will take you back to the contact category manager. (Figure 6)

Create a C ontact Entry:Now that you have a contacts category, you can add to it with entries, such as businesses, organizations, etc… Go back to the contacts menu, and rather than clicking categories, click contacts. (Figure 7)

The next screen will display a title, which is required, and optionally an alias. The last area we need to check is the category. This is going to be the category we just created. Click the drop box and select the appropriate category. (Figure 9)

Once you’ve finished adding all the information you want, you can also change parameters on the right to suit. Save the contact, you will be taken back to the Contacts Manager. (Figure 10)

Create a Contact Category Layout: Go to the menus menu, for the purpose of this demonstration, we will be creating a menu item (specifically a contact category layout item) in the main menu menu. (Figure 11)

Once you reach the menu manager for the main menu, on the right there are several icons, click new to create a new menu. (Figure 12)

On the next screen you need to choose why type of menu to create. Select the Contacts type. (Figure 13)

The next screen shows the two different types of contact menu items you can create. For the purpose of a ‘business directory’, you should should select the contact category layout type. (Figure 14)

The menu Item Editor will give you the opportunity to insert a menu Item title, as well as an alias, and then select which menu you want the item to be displayed on. (Figure 15)

There is one last step before you can save the menu item and return to the menu manager, and that is to select the category of contacts you want this menu item to be driven to. This is done through the parameter tab on the right. Select the same category that we created and entered a contact item into. (Figure 16)

This method of using the Joomla! Contact Component gives Joomla! 1.5 a nice ‘business directory’ like function. A nice addition to any business directory is showing all the ‘categories’ in once place, so that people can see them all. So, keep reading if you’d like to find out how to do this little extra ‘trick’ to spice up your Joomla! directory.

Additional Trick: Create An Article Displaying All Your Contact Categories.
