Add 'category view' in a K2 article

Post by keyser »

Hello everyone,
i just started to use phoca download, it's very simple and powerful and i love it.

I wish to know if it's possible to add the 'Category View' (List of Files - Category View) to a K2 article.
I downloaded the button plugin and it works very fine in K2 articles but will be awesome if i can have
that exact view at the bottom of my article.
It will be good outside the article too
for example in another module position under the article but i can't create a phoca download module.

Is there a plugin that does the work?
Or a simple way to add the category view into an article?

Thank you in advance for your replies!!!!

Hi, for now, there is a plugin which displays files in articles (or filelist) - to display there categories, the new plugin needs to be done - anyway - if you will display categories in article which then link to files e.g. in component, why not direct display the component from beginning?

Jan, thanks for your reply.
What i wanted was to keep the style of a K2 article while showing the filelist, without touching the component's css and php files. Eg: keep the exact header style of a K2 article with description, date, tags, etcetera and then filelist at its bottom.

But your solution is pretty good too: now i'm showing the component with its description text at the beginning, not taking care of style, which is not so important at the end, and component is working pretty fine!!

I was just curious if that was possible :)

Ok, anyway, you can customize the component CSS, to load own style in admin, so I think, this can be good way how to unite the site and component design :idea:
