Insert a short code in an article linking to a file

[fabio42]

Hello!
I recently discovered that I cannot insert, with my editor (JCE Pro), thanks to the Joomla editor buttons a short code allowing my users to download a file, from within an article.
When I click on the Joomla editor button, I see and click on "Phocadownload File" (tiny green icon looking like a cloud and a download arrow), it opens a window where I can choose whatever I want to integrate in my article. I choose "Link to File", it opens a new window where I can select the file in the whole list of files, then, if I click on "insert code", the window is replaced by my admin welcome page, and nothing is inserted in the article as it should be (for eg: {phocadownload view=file|id=472|target=s} ).
What's going wrong?
Thanks for your help!
Fabrice

Hi,
with tinymce it works as expected.

1.) Choose category & file und press 'Insert Code' button:


2.) Code is inserted in article:


3.) Frontend view of this article:
