Upload with a link in a news

Hi

I would like users to be able to upload some pics, but i don't want to create a menu for this.
Is this possible to direct the user to an upload form, but with a link instead of a menu ?


Plus : i set a category for the uploaded files, but i didn't find out who to set the default upload directory for this category (and so the users can't change it)

Thanks for your help

Hi, the folder is created automatically when new category is created.

For now you need to have a menu link to upload - but you can hide the menu link to some hidden module and copy it (before hiding) and paste it everywhere you need :idea:

It doesn't work.

Thus, Phoca download should come with a plug-in to do this easily, and make very small form for user to automaticaly upload files to the selected category

Hi, what exactly does not work?
Did you create the menu link and did you add it to hidden menu? See: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/16-joomla ... -in-joomla

i managed to do a link, but i get to the general user upload form :
http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/968842 ... 090404.png

i would like to have a small form, like only with the choose file, and send button, and files be automaticaly uplaoded to a defined category.
users are totally noob, if a get them to this form, they'll be lost and don't know what to do.

i'd like somthing like this :

News

bla bla bla
You can upload your file from here :
[CHOOSE FILE]________]
[UPLOAD]

End News


and nothing else

Hi, then you need to customize the html directly for your needs:

components/com_phocadownload/views/user/tmpl/ ...
