The frontend layout is clean, the user stats are excellent and its very easy to use.
After more than a year of use I can say that is even robust. It never had an error, a fault or malfunction.
I installed on Joomla 1.5 site and it's working great. Now I have installed on Joomla 2.5.8 and am really impressed. We'd spent hours loading up into another popular extension but found it inflexible and useless for a complex tree of documents. Fortunately we were able to point the documents folder to the one we'd already set up and off we went. A little bit of SQL and we carried over the categories and document entries.
We haven't gone live yet - but already I feel confident this is a great choice. The flexible layout configuration beats any of the other similar extensions hands down - simply brilliant!
Well done to the developer - awesome work. If you're looking for a download/document manager - this is the one!
Hi,
I really don't understand why users are so negative:
You get:
- extension which is free
- free support
- free language file delivered by community
- etc.
If the extension does not fit your needs:
a) you can uninstall it and find other which fits your needs better - this will solve your problem
b) you can ask in forum or on other place, maybe somebody will give you advice how to customize it, or how to enable demanded features - this can solve your problem
c) you can write feature requests in forum or in contact forum - this can solve your problems in future
d) you can write negative review here or somewhere else - this will not solve your problem except your problem is elsewhere than in using the component :-(
Of course the extension cannot fit needs of all people of the world but I as developer listen to users and try to add new features there (I by myself use 10% of Phoca Download features, all other 90% was added because users added them to feature request list)
Options were wished by users, so if you feel, it is not useful for you, there are some users who find it useful. It is open source and everybody can find useful features there and everybody can customize it in case, he/she didn't find the feature they need.
Of course you can display text and tags in category view - just use the custom layout, etc.
If you really need this extension (you didn't find any other) then will be great you will go to Phoca Forum page and there:
a) you will get advices how to enable features you think, they are not exist
b) you can write feature requests to help imlementing new features you need.
Thank you, Jan
Developers answer fast and nice in forums.
the feature "frondend User" is brilliant if you don't want to let others come inside your control panel. It doesn't have all the options backend provides, but you can edit it in CSS
strongly recommended!
Everything displays the way I want except at the bottom of the page it displays Prev, Next, & page numbers as text rather than images and it also has them listed one under the other instead of on one line so it looks messy with 6 or 7 lines of text, tried looking on website for solution but gave up.
Pretty good, give it a try...
Hi, if you mean pagination, it should be styled by your template's CSS. Pagination is common part of Joomla! and it is not styled by component but by template's CSS
