Download uploaded Files

Post by dominanger »

Hi folks!
First of all: Thanks for the awesome joomla plugin Phoca Download. :)

Now to my problem:
For my site i would like to create a frontend up/download where users can login and upload their files and then download them again(something like Dropbox or skydrive).
The upload works fine but in the upload component I can't download the uploaded files. The uploaded files also don't appear in the download component.
Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible at all to download uploaded files?

I'm running Joomla! 3.1.5 at the moment on my local machine with xampp.
Thanks for every input

Hi, see if the uploaded files are published and approved.

Hi Jan
Sorry 4 the late reply. Yes all files are approved and published. I have also tried to select the upload and the download category on the download page.
Still doesn't work

Do you get any errors there when you enable php error reporting ( https://www.phoca.cz/documents/16-joomla ... rs-on-site ) and debug mode in Joomla! administration.

Hi Jan
No, I don't get any errors but it is possible that i oversaw them, since I'm not familiar with debug mode.
However I managed to download an Uploaded file on the download site. But I first had to adjust the permissions and the category(from upload to download).
Is it possible that I can set default permissions and a default category?

Sry, my english :D
I meant if it is possible to set default permissions of every new uploaded file and the category in which it is being uploaded.
So for example on a new uploaded File, the User xy automatically has read and write permissions, and the file is uploaded in the "Download" category
I hope that clarifyies it ;)

Hi, for now there is no such feature, so this needs to be customized in the code. I think, there were some guides regarding this in the forum :idea:
