A few problems with Phoca Download that I can't solve

Post by vorlon69 »

my website is here: http://www.christthesaviour.com

The problems I am having are
1) I want to allow guests to vote for files
2) at the bottom of the page the previous / next and page numbers are underneath each other - I would like to put them next to each other and have an image for previous / next
3) I want to change the download / preview text + image to a customised image only with no text
4) when a user searches for a file it displays the results ok, but when they click on the result it should take them to the file but rather it takes them to the download category instead & then they have to search the category manually to find the file

I have tried reading through various documentation on the main site and edited a few files, but to no effect & it's driving me mad. I know that it must be something so simple I have probably overlooked it.

Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I also would like to see a fix to #4. I have received a few complaints, basically saying "I searched for it so that I didnt have to look through all 600 files, but when I click on it, I end up having to look through them all anyway"

Basically it doesn't actually FIND the file so much as tell you "yes, we have the file".

Hi,

1) for now there is no such option as it does not exist any rational system to identify users :-(
2) pagination is designed by template CSS, so try to see your template to modify it
3) needs to be customized directly in the code -e.g. in category view - components/com_phocadownload/views/category/tmpl/ ...
4) such needs to be customized in the code - the problem is, the component does not know if you are using file view or not, so as default, the search plugin needs to link to category view (as cateogory view is allways present, file view not :-( )
