Smart search integration and access rights

[pbontempi]

Hello everybody,
I'm experiencing a strange issue with Phoca Download and Joomla Smart Search. In installed the Phoca plugins, and searching I can find both files and categories. If I click in the search results on a category everything goes well, but if I select a file I get the message "You have no rights to access this category". This happens even if I set all categories and files to public and if I login as an admin. The strange thing is that I can freely download the files if I use the menus or I select a category from the search results. I can't download them only when I directly select a file in the Smart Search results..

Any idea about how to solve?

Thanks so much!

Hi, hmm, is the menu link to Phoca Download public?

What is the settings for parameter: Access Level - Registered Users?

Jan

Yes, I created a few published and public menu links (one for each PhocaDownload category).
Where's the parameter configuration you're talking about?

Thanks so much!

It is in Phoca Download Options.

Everything Inherited (Not allowed)..

Hmm, there is no Inherited value ???

Uhm, ok, sorry, I understood! I set to "registered", but the problem stays the same..

Hmmm, really hard to say, is the site somewhere online to see it? Is the link different when it is searched by the smart search or displayed by standard menu link? (I mean if you display a file, if the URL is different when you go to this file through a menu link or through search link)?

Yes, the links are different. For example:

Smart Search
[...]/component/phocadownload/file/18-2018-03-31-la-provincia-di-cremona-le-parole-e-le-cose-lannutti-albonico

Menu navigation
[...]/rassegna-stampa/category/11-2018?download=18:2018-03-31-la-provincia-di-cremona-le-parole-e-le-cose-lannutti-albonico

If you want I can give you link and credentials in private..

Which version of component and smart search plugin do you use? Is the menu link to Phoca Download component created?
