I'm sorry. Straightened. My niece is studying the Czech language.

How do I remove it: {phocadownload view=category|id=1|target=s}

Hi, just use reverse way you have added the code - delete it in description.

I've replaced the code on line 38, but I'm still not able to see the plugin work in the phocagallery description. It works fine in articles so I assume the plugin is correctly functioning.

The site is joomla 2.5 running local on MAMP. I have phocagallery 3.2.0 and phocadownload 2.1.6 (comp/plug/button plug) installed and functioning.

Any thoughts on what to try? or Alternate ways to easily link to a pdf to download from the phocagallery description area?

Code: Select all

// Category Description
if (isset($this->category->description) && $this->category->description != '' ) {
	echo '<div class="pg-category-view-desc'.$this->params->get( 'pageclass_sfx' ).'">';
	    echo JHTML::_('content.prepare', $this->category->description).'</div>'. "\n";
       //echo $this->category->description.'</div>'. "\n";
}

thanks

Hmmm, really no idea what can be wrong there, this:

Code: Select all

echo JHTML::_('content.prepare', $this->category->description)

should do the trick, maybe try to check the code if there is no protection e.g. to run in only in content, etc.

Could it not be working due to some other javascript on the page?

I've now placed the site on a remote test server and I'm stil having the problem with the plug-in working in the phocagallery description.

Hi, not this is only php/server feature - this has nothing to do with javascript The description field is standard Joomla! description field and the code is standard Joomla! code to accept content plugins, so the only idea I have, is, maybe the plugin checks the area where it is called and maybe it only allows to be called in conent

I'm having this issue as well. I found the link to the documentation explaining the fix, but it's still unclear to me what to do.

My specific issue:

I want to link to Phoca Downloads from the component 'Workforce'. When I link from Joomla articles (using the Phocadownloads button plugin in JCE), they behave as they should, which leads me to believe I have everything installed correctly. However, when I try to link from Workforce component, the code doesn't render.

However, I'm unclear on exactly WHERE I should be applying this fix that is mentioned in this article I found on your site: Displaying content plugin outside content articles:

echo JHTML::_('content.prepare', $this->category->description);

While I have a phocadownloads issue, the fix mentions phocagallery a few times, so I'm confused as to whether I need to install PhocaGallery and apply the fix there, or whether that reference is correct. I feel I'm missing something basic and, unfortunately, I still can't figure out what it is.

Thanks,

Hi, first, it is not a fix, it is a modify.

The guide describers Phoca Gallery as example - such can be used for every component inside Joomla! ... Content plugins are made for articles only but components can expand this feature for themselves - if they do not include it, you can modify it - it means - find the place in component where the input field (textarea/description/...) is rendered and modify it the way, it will accept content plugins.
