We would like to give you an introduction to the new Download-Center feature. On this page we will answer relevant questions about the new feature and how you can use it on your instances.
Yes, you can only provide files in the download center that are located in the fileadmin of your TYPO3 system. The fileadmin is the standard storage in your TYPO3 filelist.
Note for PIM websites: It is currently not possible to offer files from the PIM Storage directly in the Download Centre. To do this, relevant files would have to be copied from the EPIM Catalog Storage to the fileadmin. They can then be easily categorised.
After you have changed the page type successfully the backend layout has been changed automatically. Compared to the standard page layout you now have the following columns:
This column allows you to add and display an image in full width.
Here you can add every content element you want.
This area can not be edited by you, because the relevant configuration for the download center is here. Similar to the reference gallery layout.
Here you can add every content element you want.
When you now edit the page properties again and navigate to the new tab Download-Center, you will have the following options:
Before you can categorize your files you have to create the categories before. To do this please switch to List view and move to the table of categories. Press New record inside the table to create new categories for your Download Center. You can choose any naming you like.
Please make sure that you create a hierarchy like on this screenshot for example:
First category (will be the filter name): Typ
Second category inside Country (will be the filter option): Anleitung
In this example these two categories are part of the download center root category.
If you want to reuse any of your categories, for example from the references, you are able to do this as well.
This feature needs the initial information inside which category tree it should look. With ticking the category you are defining the filter name you would like to use. Please make sure that you have still one more layer below your selected category.
The categories below are very important for your filtering options in the next steps.
Now switch to the filelist inside the backend and navigate to your wished files that you would like to display inside the download center. Open the metadata of the file. You are able to edit the title and description of this file. These changes will be displayed in the frontend.
After you have edit the title and a description text, please open the tab Categories. Scroll down to your category tree that has been selected from you inside the page properties.
ATTENTION: Please click the correct category AND the superior category.
Like in the example we have selected Typ AND Anleitung.
Please try to work through the instruction again. Otherwise, please contact us to offer support for this new feature.
