Phoca Forum

Hi all,
Thank you for your great joomla components ! Very Thank you !

I made a little hack which force an anonymous user to fill up a little survey before downloading files (like name, email etc...).
It is a 'licence agreement' hack, and it send an eMail with the collected information before download process.

Is Phoca Team interesting with such kind of component evolution ?

Here is a capture :

Hi, yes I am interested to see this feature. The problem is my time, so I cannot say if it can be implemented (if this will be required) in near future
But of course will be great to test it.

Thank you, Jan

Jan,
Yes, as I could read you are a bit overbooked... No problem for the implementation, in fact, my mind was to develop it for 'the community'...

When I first post, the development was very 'hard coded', and very specific.
Last 'night' (because, I have also a 'day life work'...) I started to make communicate your component with another one called ChronoForms / http://www.chronoengine.com/.
The advantage is to have 'unlimited' form design possible, and a very strong forms management backend.
After a long night of ajax tricky things, and headhack with forms submissions, response encoding, it works 'almost'...
I tried to develop this less obstrubtive as possible for the phocaDownload Component and chronoengine one.

The advantage for your component, is that 'hack' is very soft - regarding the code - and could be easyly releasable for you.
(the end user have of course to install chrono form on his joomla site).

So, when I said 'almost', I have a last 'auto form submission' to do, and a very little patch on your admin section to add chronoform list as 'licence agreement extenssions'... As I had a lot of very bad surprise while coding my little 'hook', I can't says 'yes it works' right now, but... I hope I could do it...

Here is another screen capture :
Could you give me an email, so as soon as it works i could send you my 'repackaged' phoca download component.

Cheers,
Eric.
