This extension allows you to download images or files that have been uploaded to the wiki with a single click.
Action on clicking the thumbnail link causes the file to be downloaded or opened (based on server config and handling), not a jump to the article containing that image.
The normal behavior for clicking on images/files is to take you to the associated article page for that image. This tag changes that behavior. The syntax is similar to the Gallery tag used to display a gallery of images in MediaWiki.

The extension automagically handles the thumbnailing of images/document by their type. and will render a thumbnail based on the extension type. For example, if the extension ends in .pdf, it will render a thumbnail of a pdf, etc.
Installation
- thumbnail images are not uploaded, they need to be placed the /extensions/download/images folder
- the file names for the extension thumb nails will be the extension.ext
- you can supply an additional icon called default.gif which it falls back to if no matching icon
- if there's no matching icon and no default icon either, it just displays a normal link
- any of the icons including the default can be gif, jpg or png
Troubleshooting
- MIME types
- Server settings
