Downloads under article overview

Post by Anna-Lena »

Hi

I would like to put some downloads right beneath an article overview (when you click on a section and then on a category all articles are listed - at the bottom I want my downloads to be). How do I manage this?

kind regards

Hi, Phoca Download is content plugin, it means it can be displayed only in article. The problem is the list of articles is not an article view so there cannot be displayed the content plugin :-(

Hi

Thanks for the answer.
I thought maybe it would be possible to edit some files by myself to make it work, like here for example: http://demo.rockettheme.com/extensions/ ... on=roktabs
Here is a tutorial how to make it work inside modules: http://www.rockettheme.com/forum/index. ... =viewtopic
So you just have to edit some files and it will work fine.

Is there really no possibility to make it similar like this with Phoca Downloads?

Kind regards

Hi, there are different possibilities.

You can customize the code and add a behaviour under the list.
You can find the "plugin to module" extensions on JED - extensions.joomla.org and add the plugin code with links to a module which will be displayed below the list, etc.

Hi

Thanks for the tip!
I have downloaded the module "Plugin in Module", but I cannot do this without a tutorial how to get it work and I couldn't find one in the web.
Do you know where I can find a good tutorial for this module?

Thank you in advance and kind regards

Hi, sorry I have no experiences with this extension or similar. Still didn't use it anywhere. I only know there is such extension and it should work. I think (really think), this will be a module where you should create new instance in module manager and paste the plugin code into some text editor area in this module, maybe :idea:

Please if you find the way, just let me know. Will be gret to get some new info about this way.

Hi!
Oh, what a bummer...
Thank you anyway for your help.
I am not sure whether I can do this but I will try. Maybe I will have to do it another way.

Kind regards
