EDocman Modifications and futures requests was created by Marcelo

Hi,

I have done some modifications in EDocman to fill it to my purposes. My site is here . And EDocman is here and here .

My template have a menu on the left side.

First, when I click on the Latest Documents on the front page

, the Left Menu do not expand

. When you click a file shown in the latest plugin, the system can not identify where the file belongs, in the case which category, which prevents the template to tailor the lateral menu navigation.

Second, in EDocman documentation says you can edit the layout files, without affecting its operation when updating. However, if we put the folder "view", located in "components/com_edocman", within the template in use, changes made in this folder "template/website_template/view" do not show any effect.

Third, the module "Edocman Documents", set to the type "Latest Documents", by default it only identifies the file name. To make it more useful, I added the date of the file and its category (please, see screenshot01). The modified file was "modules/mod_edocman_documents/tmpl/lastest.php". Next the changes.

Code:

                        }

            $db =& JFactory::getDBO();
            $sql = "select category_id from #__edocman_document_category where document_id=".$row->id."";
            $db->setQuery($sql);  
            $cat_id = $db->loadResult();
            
            $sql2 = "select title from #__edocman_categories where id=".$cat_id."";

            $db->setQuery($sql3);  
            $parent_id = $db->loadResult();
                if($parent_id != 0)
                {
                    $sql4 = "select title from #__edocman_categories where id=".$parent_id."";
                    $db->setQuery($sql4);  
                    $parent_cat_title = $db->loadResult();
                }else{
                    $parent_cat_title = "";
                }
                    
        ?>
        <div class="document_category"><?php echo $parent_cat_title ." - " .$cat_title ?></div>
        <div class="document_created_time"><small><?php echo JHtml::_('date', $row->created_time, "d-m-Y"); ?></small></div>
        </div>
				<?php
				}
			?>
	<?php	
	} else {
	?>
		<div class="eb_empty"><?php echo JText::_('EDOCMAN_NO_DOCUMENTS') ?></div>
	<?php	
	}
?>
</div>

And finally, I think it's pretty important, is the lack of an icon to move up to the parent category. If you opened a category, such as recent announcements, you can not get back to the category that contains it.

Please, all comments and suggestions to improve my site is very welcome!
