Download within article not working

Post by BobL »

I am running Joomla 3.6.2. I have both the Phoca Download component and the Phoca Download Button installed and activated. I used the button to place the following code into an existing article: {phocadownload view=file|id=35|text=Venues and Registration Procedures|target=s}. When viewing the article I see only the code in the article rather than a link to the file. I've looked at other posts and answers but can't find a solution. I'm running Phoca Download version 3.1.2 and Phoca Download Button 3.1.0. I believe both are the most current versions.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi,
you also need to install Phoca Download Plugin. (Because this Plugin executes the code from the Button Plugin)
https://github.com/PhocaCz/PhocaDownloa ... v3.1.2.zip

Hi guys,

Just on this topic, I made a list of downloads in my article but upon click on the download links, I am lead to the file page which I am given the option to click on the download button. This download button work.

I don't want to be lead to the file page. Can you please guide me the configuration parameter that would disable this?

thanks in advance

Phillip

Hi Benno,

hmm.. I don't have the privileged to attach a screen shot.. :(

Anyhow, when I click on the link as you did in the image, I am lead to the file page showing the following

<h2>My file</h2>

My file
{icon} My file.jpg

File Size:1.91 MB
Date:31 August 2016

<button>Downloads:0 x</button>

Any idea why?
