====== Remository Modules ======

The Remository component automatically installs several modules. They are removed if Remository is uninstalled.

==== Multi-module ====

The multi-module is a very flexible module for providing lists of files. There are a number of alternative selections of files that can be chosen:

  * Newest Files - the files most recently added to the repository
  * Most requested last x days - analyses the logs for x days and picks most downloaded
  * Most downloads ever - files with the highest total number of downloads
  * Random file selection - picks files at random

For each file a number of fields can be shown on each line. The fields available are:

  * File Title
  * Folder Containing File - Name (and link) to the container of the file
  * Thumbnail - shows the file thumbnail, if any
  * File Date
  * Number of Downloads
  * Description of the file
  * Name of user who submitted file
  * File size
  * Joomla Update link

The last item (Joomla Update link) is intended to be used only to display a list of the newest files for the site administrator. It provides the links needed to include in the XML used for Joomla Update.

==== Remository Tree ====

Suitable for small repositories, the tree module gives a diagrammatic display of the repository. The name of the root can be configured, and the root can either be the whole repository or the number of a container for a partial view. One or more containers can be hidden. Containers are always shown, but showing files is optional.

==== Remository Containers ====

This is a simple module that lists the top level containers ask links.

==== Remository Total ====

Even simpler is the total module - it simply shows the total number of files in the repository.
