How do I embed a download onto a page?

Post by webgyrl »

Hello,

I want to be able to embed some files that i have uploaded using Phoca onto a private user page. Can I do this?

I don't want to have everyone be able to download the file, only certain people. I don't want to publish Phoca publicly. Or is there a way to control who can see what files? Basically I want only some students to be able to download certain files and others are not allowed.

I uploaded 3 test items, got the ID numbers and I tried to use this code, but it doesn't work. I've even downloaded the Phoca Download button to use that to insert, but nothing shows up >> http://linux6.hypmedia.com/luckycat/about-us

PDF
Download
{phocadownload view=file|id=1|text=File|target=s}

Mp3
Download
{phocadownload view=file|id=2|text=File|target=s}
Play
{phocadownload view=fileplaylink|id=2|text=File|playerwidth=328|playerheight=260|playerheightmp3=30}

Video
Download
{phocadownload view=file|id=3|text=File|target=s}
Preview
{phocadownload view=filepreviewlink|id=3|previewwidth=640|previewheight=480}

I read the instructions here: https://www.phoca.cz/demo/phoca-download-plugin

Nothing shows up on the page though when I put this code in. Is there something else I need to do to activate it?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,
1. did you install & enable Phoca Download Plugin?

2. Which version of joomla!, Phoca Download Component and Phoca Download Plugin do you use?

Kind regards,

Yes, that was it. For some reason on the page I got the codes from it didn't mention that you needed the content plugin. Marvelous. I will begin to test this now to see if it meets my needs. Thanks!
