I've successfully installed the component and the plugin in Joomla 1.7, created some subdirectories (in the back-end) and uploaded a PDF into one of them. Now I simply want to add a link to it at the foot of an article and I'm completely stumped. I've spent two hours in the documentation, forums and just prodding around and I just don't get it. Am I missing something really basic here?!

Not understanding the basics
Please forgive a really dumb question, but maybe I've completely misunderstood the point of this component/plug-in...

Re: Not understanding the basics
Hi, just create an article, paste the plugin code to this article:
https://www.phoca.cz/phocadownload-plugin
See examples:
https://www.phoca.cz/documents/51-phoca- ... oad-plugin
You can use Phoca Download Button Plugin - which adds a button below the editor, which helps you to create plugin code easily (click method)
