Fields and properties

WirdOnce synchronisiertthe …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. 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

          Author (name, email, website), licence (name, URL) Date, publish up/down Hits, direct-link flag Category (ID and title) Tags — as a comma-separated list (for example "Software, Open Source, Free") Meta keywords, meta description

          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.
