Phoca Forum

I have looked _long_ and _hard_ at various ways to implement a file upload/download feature in Joomla.

Thanks much that PD accomplishes this.

As I am getting familiar with PD look, feel & operation, I'd like to find out if certain fields can be disabled
on the "Upload" form.

For my use, I nor my users will ever need 'Version', 'License', "Author's Website", "Author's Email", 'Author'.
Is there a way to make them not visible on the upload page?

Also, I am confused what the top section is for on the Upload form. (Three lines "Uploaded Files", then "Filter", then
"Title" etc.) Can you explain?

Else great work!

same question for me. the form is too complete for my users

thank's for your response

Hi, this needs to be customized in the code, there should be a guide for this in this forum

Plz could you plz tell us which file we have to modify so as to erase these fields?
Thnx a lot in advanced

Hi there,

Yep I'd like to second that request: could you please indicate a quick and dirty way of disabling some of the forms? I'm sure a tutorial would take some time, but I'm sure we can figure out how to disable one or two fields.

Also, more importantly for me, is there a way of having a default upload category?
Currently a user will fill out all the forms (except Category which seems a bit counter intuitive to use), and when clicking upload, the form will show an error message about the need to select a category, and the whole form needs to be filled out again. It would be really great if either a) PD ignores the lack of category and goes to a default folder or b) keeps the form contents when giving the message about category selection.

I must add that this is a great plugin overall and am very happy it is free =) Great work!

Cheers,

marcus
