Joomla Extension Comparison: K2 vs Docman
Background: While researching some Joomla extensions for a client project, I decided to create a comparison table to help the client decide which Joomla extensions to use for a particular application. In this case, we needed to build some sort of a download manager. After narrowing the choices down to 2, K2: a CCK (Content Construction Kit) and DocMan: an actual Download Manager.
While Docman is built primarily for downloads and file management, a CCK presented a viable option as it offers better control over the style and presentation of the content.
