Categories

WirdFileshelf synchronisiertuses …Joomla's categories. You manage them under Components → Fileshelf → Categories like article categories – with subcategories, access levels, language and permissions.

Additional tabs

In the form of a category Fileshelf adds two tabs:

    Fileshelf – a password for all downloads of this category and its subcategories (see Password protection). Fileshelf: Display – how the category shows its downloads on the website: as a list, table or cards.
    The tab Fileshelf: Display with the choice list, table or cards
    The display applies unless the category's menu item chooses otherwise.

    Which display applies is decided in this order: the menu item of the category, then the category, then Options → Display → Layout.

    The image as icon

    The image of the category (tab Options → Image in the category form) appears small in front of the category's name and next to its heading on the website.

    Access through additional categories

    Under Options → Downloads → Access through additional categories you decide whether only the main category counts for a download (default) or whether the access levels of its additional categories must allow it as well (Strictest).

    Deleting

    A category that still holds downloads cannot be deleted. Move or delete the downloads first. When a category is deleted, Fileshelf also removes it as an additional category from the downloads.
