Phoca Download Button Plugin does not work

[spicci]

good morning, I installed joomla 5.1.e locally with xampp but the phoca download button plugin doesn't work even though phoca download is installed, you can see {phocadownload view=file|id=1|text=prova|target=s} what it could be ?

Hi,
you need to install Phoca Download Plugin also.

Kind regards,

hi, Phoca Download and Phoca Download Plugin are installed but the result is always {phocadownload view=file|id=1|text=test|target=s}

HI,
There are not so many reasons why only the plugin code is displayed instead of the plugin:
1.) Phoca Download Component, Phoca Download Plugin and Phoca Download Button Plugin are not up to date.
2) Phoca Download Plugin and Phoca Download Button Plugin are installed but not enabled in Joomla! Plugin Manager. Also Joomla! Behaviour - Backward Compatibility Plugin needs to be enabled.
3) The plugin code is not valid.
4.) You are not using Joomla! com_content to create articles and instead you use other external extensions such as SP Page Builder (if you use SP Page Builder see this thread: viewtopic.php?p=181240#p181240)


With Joomla! v5.1.2, com_content and Joomla! Standard Template 'Cassioppeia' it works as expected.

Hello all,

Quick question: Will the Phoca Download Plugin install under Joomla5? I can only find a J4 compatible version.....

Thanks

Hi,
yes, it will work with j5x but bc-plugin must be enabled. See screenshot above.

Kind regards,
