Most Downloaded Files

[Hottinger]

Hello, I have in Version 2.1.7 activated Most Downloaded Files, but I don't see the Files in my Kategoryview.
Thank you for help.

Hi, most downloaded files are displayed only in Categories View (see the description of this parameter)

Is there a way to point the link directly to the file instead of the category?

[Jan]

Hi, then you need to customize the link:

instead of: PhocaDownloadHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute in
components\com_phocadownload\views\categories\tmpl\default.php
you should add the link directly to file.

"you should add the link directly to file."

Jan, what is the code to link directly to the file?

Thanks!

[Jan]

Hi, directly means - you just copy the link from frontend and you will paste it there as link. Or you can try to change it to File view, from PhocaDownloadHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute to PhocaDownloadHelperRoute::getFileRoute (but File View needs to be enabled) and of course it depends on if the file should be displayed in file view or should be directly downloaded.

Hi Jan,

Thanks, that got me part of the way.

I changed this:

Code: Select all

JRoute::_(PhocaDownloadHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($value->categoryid,$value->categoryalias))

To this:

Code: Select all

JRoute::_(PhocaDownloadHelperRoute::getFileRoute($value->id,$value->alias))

The only thing that does not seem to work is the alias part. Any ideas?

[Jan]

Hi, the second parameter is not alias but category id, see the function:

function getFileRoute($id, $catid = 0, $idAlias = '', $catidAlias = '', $sectionid = 0, $type = 'file')

1 ... file id
2 ... category id
3 ... file alias
4 ... category alias
5 ... 0 (set null as this is obsolete parameter) or leave empty
6 ... 'file' or leave empty

Thanks! I changed it to this and it worked:

Code: Select all

JRoute::_(PhocaDownloadHelperRoute::getFileRoute($value->id,$value->categoryid,$value->alias))
