User upload/download via Frontend with fixed folders

Hi,

I just installed phoca download, but I have problems with the folder architechture. When I upload files to a category via the frontend then automatically a folder would be created (e.g. 6G6823Ad). What I want is that each user can upload to a category and the folder name is the same as the category ones. Some of the files are linked directly to menu items.

How can I upload files to fixed folders?

Thanks and best reagards

Florian

Hi, which version of Phoca Download you are using, the folder in Phoca Download 3 should be named by the user :idea:

Hi,
Im using Version 2.1.9 and a user can only choose the category and give a file title.

Hi, yes in Phoca Download 2.x there were a specific prefix to prevent from duplicating folders, such is not more in Phoca Download 3, so in such case:

- you need to updgrade to Phoca Download 3 (Joomla! 3 :idea: )
- or to customize the code in version 2 :idea:
