Phoca Download File - Keyword assignment for unique listing

[karlien]

Hi

I would like to know if it is possible to to display only certain files in a category in Phoca Downloads, via their keywords. I have tried this, by using a 'Plugin-to-include-Components' extension, where you can display a component in an article (something like the Phoca downloads plugin), but it didnt seem to work with keywords.

The code of the plugin looks something like this (that you paste in the content area):

{component url='index.php?option=com_phocadownload&view=category&id=2&Itemid=37&'}

I really need a way to be able to display only certain files in the category, something like the use of keywords.

The Support-guys of the plugin that I used, said that it is possible, if Phoca Download support keywords.. and YES, it does!
They suggested, I add an extra parameter to the url.. something like

{component url='index.php?option=com_phocadownload&view=category&id=2&Itemid=37&keyword=karlien'}

where the 'keyword - karlien' is one that i just typed in, in the Meta Keywords field, in one of the file's parameters, in the back-end.

When I tested it, it did not work at all.. It just displayed the whole category, with all the files.. It didnt even responded to the keyword in the parameters in the URL. I did try the Phoca Plugin, but Im not sure what parameters to add to the line of code of the plugin

It would be AWESOME if it IS possible to display files via their keywords, especially in my case, where I have hundreds of files scattered in different categories, and where I only want to display certain files, under unique links.

Can anyone help! Pretty please!

Hi, there are keywords in Phoca Download but they are not used this way, not sure if this is secure to handle keywords in GET, I will take a look at it, added into feature request list.
