Extend Site Documentation - Downloaders
As a user you’re simply looking to download something: a plugin, a theme, an icon set, perhaps a language pack or just some other resource that you may find interesting.
For that reason, you can quickly navigate from the menu to one of the 4 main categories:
-
Plugins
-
Themes
-
Translations
-
Graphics
Each main category has sub-categories, each with filtering options.
Browsing a category
When you visit a category page, here’s how it looks like:
For each project you can view the cover and the following information:
-
Title
-
Small Description
-
Stars
-
Downloads
-
Last Update
There is also a download button that allows you to download the latest stable build.
Clicking the project name or the Details button directs you towards the project page, on which you can see detailed information: full description, previews, license, suggestions, bugs, etc.
On the right side you can select a subcategory.
Viewing a Project
When you visit a project page, here’s how it looks like:
Under description there are 4 buttons:

Under these buttons there is a tab with the following links:
