Customize Upload layer

[tintilld]

Hello,

I would like to configure the "User Upload" layer in order to:
- Delete / Hide some fields (File title, descritpions, Author, ...)
- Generate the name of the file on the basis of usernam_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM.ext (ext is the extension of the uploaded file)

How can you do this easily?

If this is not possible with Phoca download, what can I use instead?

Thank you in advance for your help

kind regards
Tintilld.

Hi,

I would like to configure the "User Upload" layer in order to:
- Delete / Hide some fields (File title, descritpions, Author, ...)

You could try this with an template override of: components\com_phocadownload\site\views\user\tmpl\default_files.php

See similar Thread here: viewtopic.php?f=31&p=155995#p155995
Maybe the lines could be different.

Kind regards
Christine

Hi, user name are mostly stored in variables like $user, or $u, or $this->u, etc.

one category - in such case the select box needs to be changed and the one category set as only one item in the select box list.

Generating name should be changed in upload class:
administrator\components\com_phocadownload\libraries\phocadownload\file\fileupload.php

Hi Jan,

Many thanks for your answer :)
I find the username in this variables ==> $user->get('name', 0)

I could fix the filesnames too :)

But I didn't find how resolve my last difficulty :

one category - in such case the select box needs to be changed and the one category set as only one item in the select box list.

How can I do it?

You need to write own select box in the override file - including the category id, which you need to display. Just see the source html code of the select box, copy it, change it to your needs and paste to the file which overrides the output.
