Download Button Doesn't Begin Download

[wahl04]

For some reason the Phoca Download Button when clicked doesn't begin the download but rather only shows the Category page (General). Also when you click on the category on that page it just refreshes.

I went through the Phoca Download extension and plugin settings but saw nothing that would relate directly.

Here is the link to the page in question: http://www.performex.14test.com/resources/readings

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi, you need to set in the parameters, that this will be link direct to file, see:

I used the link direct to file in the parameters of the download button. See Copy of what is inserted into the article below:

The Art of Delegation
Delegation is the process for empowering workers with decision-making authority. Understanding the principles, concepts, and mechanics of delegation is vital for today's professional manager.
{phocadownload view=file|id=1|text=Delegation|target=s}

Is that not correct?

Hi there,

I'm also having the same problem. I want the file to download straight away but instead it brings up section / download.

I have checked the box in the file settings for "Direct Download". This is the code i am using:

{phocadownload view=file|id=1}​​​

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,

James

Is set, that the file should be downloaded directly? - in edit of the file?

I have the same problem - details are:

Joomla 1.5.23
Phoca Download 1.3.9
The Phoca Download Plugin and the Phoca Download Button plugin (latest versions for J1.5) are both installed and enabled.

Within the article, we have inserted the following code:

Code: Select all

{phocadownload view=file|id=1|target=b}

We have also tried:

Code: Select all

{phocadownload view=file|id=1}

The article is displayed here: http://dfkcollins.wirthconsulting.com.au/aged-care

When you click on the file link in this article, it simply takes you to the category display page and no further.

Within the file settings under Phoca Download -> Files -> (filename) - all the settings are default except:
1. Title - the file is called "Aged Care Test File"
2. Alias - is auto generated as "aged-care-test-file"
3. Published - yes
4. Authorised - yes
5. Section - Industries
6. Category - Aged Care
7. Filename - agedcare/DFKC_v2.pdf
8. icon - pdf-icon.jpg
9. Direct link - ticked on
10. Dates - auto generated at time of save

Everything else is default including Access Level "Public" (on the file, category and section)

It is almost like it the plugin is recognising the category or section id (which are both "1") instead of the file id (which is also id "1")...?

Hmmmm, really no idea what can be wrong, testing here:

without any problem

Has anyone solved this?
If not then I am willing to allow Jan Admin access to our site which is in development if he is willing?
Let me know I need to go live with this project in the next day or two!

Another question closely related........is there a way to remove the box around the download links on this page

Hi, this can be changed in the CSS, the class:
phocadownloadfileX - in your case (16px icons) phocadownloadfile16 in phoca download CSS.
