display category with files and grouped subcategories

Hi,

is it somehow possible to display all related files in categories view (as well grouped for each subcategory)?
In this case I wanna show a list of document downloads on one page, grouped by topics (visualized via categories), e.g.

1. Documents
1.1 subcategory A
1.1.1 document xxx
1.1.2 document xxx
1.2 subcategory B
1.2.1 document xxx
1.2.2 document xxx
...

Having some coding skills I already thought about trying to manipulate the categories.php but this would by a dead ends solution by its own (and (hopefully) unnecessary effort maybe). Any clue? Or is this a feature request? :)

Best regards,

Martin

Maybe I questioned the question wrong. As I'd seen the documentation component does somehow what I want to have - how can I maybe use this component to show download categories instead of content categories and how can I define the entry point for this ?
Has anybody now an idea? ;)

Still in hope for some answers,

Martin

Hi, download categories (if you are using Phoca Download) are displayed by Phoca Download component :idea:

Hi Jan,
this I know already... :) BUT... I don't wanna have a list of Categories only, I wanna have a list of categories WITH their associated items in one view (as example given in first post). This would be really cool if somehow possible... ;)

Best regards,

Martin

Hi, see other posts, this can have negative impacts on server performance (to load all the categories and all the files :-() so for now such feature needs to be customized ...
