- …and more!

More info about Kirby can be found at **[http://getkirby.com](http://getkirby.com)**

###Installation###

- Download the .zip and extract it to the root of your site.
- Don’t know which files? Just use “/content”, “/download” and “/site”.
- Several directories will be created; be carefull not to overwrite existing ones.
- A new page is added; downloads.
- From the new page, you can add / modify / delete all your downloads.
- When visiting the page from the dashboard, all the detailed stats are shown.
- Remember; only registered / logged-in users have access to these stats.

###Important!###

- By default, the downloadspage is not _multi-langual_. If you have a _multi-langual set-up_, please change the name **\content\downloads\downloads.txt** manually to **\content\downloads\downloads.{language\_code}.txt**

This looks genuinely great! Could it be used to distribute different content across different user groups?

It is possible, but you have to fork the code - you’re welcome 🙂

The main purpose of this plug-in is keeping track of your downloads 🙂

I have placed my C.V. as a PDF on my site and wants to know how many times it is downloaded and from which part of the globe… this plug-in gives me those insights now 😛
