3 Problems

[scottlyscott]

Please note: Before asking this forum, I have followed the advise of another topic and downloaded and enabled the following files attempting to fix the problems already but they are still there:

Component: http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsre ... v2.1.1.zip
Download Plugin: http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsre ... v2.0.1.zip
Download Button Plugin: http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsre ... v2.0.0.zip

1. I can't get the front end upload to work. Whenever I click on the upload menu, I created, it takes me to the download page with a message saying "User upload is disabled". I went to the plugin manager and enabled all Phoca download plugins but it still does the same thing.

2. I have 9 categories that show up in 3 separate rows of 3 categories each. So long as they are all the same size they line up appropriately. However, when the middle module had one line extra, the module directly below it and the one to the left of that one both dropped down to make a 4th row making the 3rd row contain two blank spaces then the third module. Is there a way to make each module float benieth the one above regardless of their size?

3. I tried uploading (through the backend since the uploader doesn't work) our company PowerPoint slideshow but it said that file type is not supported. First, why would it matter what file type I am uploading? If this is an upload/download program it should not be limited by file structure but maybe size. Second, It would accept the presentation but not the slideshow. My whole purpose for this program was to find a way for people to see our slideshow since Joomla doesn't work with pdf or slideshows (dumb).

Please help as I think your product looks very cool and I would like to use it on my site for users to be able to upload and download any file they choose.

Hi,

1) user upload should be enabled in Phoca Download component parameters (Options)

2) Hi, for this you need to create some specific CSS rules, but don't know if such exists (e.g. to simulate table tags somehow)

3) This is a security issue. There are some mime types which can be dangerous to download (run), so in options, you can specifiy which mime types will be allowed and which not - depends on you, so just set the mime type of the presentation in the options, if this is not included.

Thanks for responding!!!

1. When I go into the plug in manager and choose Phoca Download, the only option I see is 'Icon Size'. In the details for Phoca Download Plugin, Enabled is Enabled. When I look at the menu I created, in basic options it is empty/blank. I don't have the option to 'Enable Uploads'. I tried downloading the extension again and I got the same results.

3. Sorry but never dealt with mime before. I looked through Joomla and don't see any security or mime options and I checked firefox security and didn't see anything about mime. Please give an idio a few more details.

Never mind, I finally found it, enabled and got it all working just great (including the powerpoint slideshow). Thanks for the help!!! This one is solved.

I had the same issue - aligning 3 categories on a line, regardless of the number of sub-categories inside.
My solution (PD 2.1.3):
in components/com_phocadownload/views/categories/tmpl/default.php
find

Code: Select all

if ($this->tmpl['display_specific_layout'] == 0) {
    echo '<div class="pd-categoriesbox">';
    echo '<div class="pd-title">'.$pdTitle.'</div>';
    if ($pdDesc != '') { echo '<div class="pd-desc">'.$pdDesc.'</div>';}
    echo $pdSubcategories;
    echo $pdClear;
    echo '</div>';
} else {

replaced with

Code: Select all

if ($this->tmpl['display_specific_layout'] == 0) {
    echo '<div class="pd-categoriesbox">';
    echo '<div class="pd-title">'.$pdTitle.'</div>';
    if ($pdDesc != '') { echo '<div class="pd-desc">'.$pdDesc.'</div>';}
    echo $pdSubcategories;				
    echo '</div>';
    echo $pdClear;
} else {

So, what I did - simply moved echo $pdClear; after the closing </div> tag
