Display files in category within a page

Post by johkar1 »

I know how to display the category title and link to files within a page:

{phocadownload view=category|id=12|target=s}

However, what I want to display is the actual files within the category in a page, not the category link. For example on our Church Financials page, I want to display a list of the financials within the page along with some other information.

Is this possible?

Anybody??? I just want to display the files within my page for a given category...not rolled up into a folder, but the actual files in the category.

I guess I don't understand your question. My download page displays the individual files for download. They are not rolled up into a folder or some such. Are you talking about displaying a link from within an article rather than the links of the download page itself?

Yes, sorry, I am talking about displaying from within an article. When you add {phocadownload view=category|id=12|target=s} to an article it simply displays the link to the category. The reason I don't like this is that when you click and to the download page that has all the file links you lose your navigation context (I use split menus with a horizontal along the top and submenus along the side. Here is the page I am talking about. I would prefer just to list the files here...maybe I am missing some key piece.

Thanks for looking.

AFAIK, the plug-in does not provide this function. It would need to be added to the current plug-in or a new one created.
Download Phoca Download Menu Module for listing Sections or Categories.

Does anyone know of an update to this or workaround?

I also want to be able to list the category view (of all files) within my article content.

Someone help.
