The extension works with the CELUM DirectDownload DirectDownload plugin. A running CELUM system with an installed and configured DirectDownload plugin is necessary

The extension can be installed either through composer or through the backend:
Through composer

2. Configuration
- On the configuration page, go to the second tab Download Formats and enter the IDs for the download formats (Image, Unknown, Document, Video Text, Audio, other supported download formats).

- There is a multilanguage support for metadata, if defaultLanguage is empty, the english CELUM metadata will be used as default language in Typo3
- If additionalLanguages is empty, all languages available in CELUM and in Typo3 will be used, if additionalLanguages is filled out, only those languages will be used. If one of the additionalLanguages will not be found in CELUM, the default language will be used for this metadata record.
