DRAFT.

This is a summary of all functions and options of the plugin mos_jdownloads_file.

The plugin (also called mambot in Joomla! 1.0.x) is compatible with jDownloads 1.3 and 1.4, and Joomla! 1.0 and 1.5 native.
As jDownloads itself does not yet work with Joomla! 1.5 native, you have to turn on the Legacy plugin for the moment.  
There are 2 separate installation files. 1 for Joomla! 1.0 and another one for Joomla! 1.5

The plugin is designed to show downloads in articles and news of Joomla!, by means of layouts.
The downloads and layouts are provided by the popular component jDownloads.
Therefore, the component jDownloads must be installed on your Joomla site.
