Fields and properties
Once the source is chosen, the following fields are available for assignment in the builder.
Fields of a document
Basic information
- Title, alias, project name
- Description, features, changelog, notes — the four text areas from Phoca Download
- Version
File
- File name, file extension (for example
pdf) - File size — raw in bytes or ready-formatted (for example "2.4 MB"). The size is determined from the file itself and is therefore correct even after the file has been replaced.
- File type icon — as an icon key (for example
pdf,zip) or as a ready-made icon URL from the Phoca Download component; more than 60 file types are recognised.
Links
- Download link — goes through Phoca Download; hit counting and permissions stay active
- Detail link — the document's detail page
- External link, mirror 1/2 (each with link, title and target window)
Images and media
- Image (file name, full view URL, thumbnail URL)
- Extra image 1 and 2 — the special images from Phoca Download 6
- Download button image, video file, play/preview file
Metadata
Custom fields
All Joomla fields you have created for Phoca Download documents appear automatically as additional
builder fields — under the name of the respective field. A field manufacturer is thus
available in the builder without any further configuration.
Fields of a category
- Title, alias, description
- Image (file name and URL)
- File count — including subcategories; handy for badges such as "12 files"
- Parent category (ID and title), order, hits
- Link — the category page of Phoca Download
All fields can be post-processed with the builder's standard filters — shortening text ("Limit") or formatting dates ("Date"), for instance.
Applies to version 1.7.2.
