Expose Phoca Download files to YOOtheme layouts

The job is to let a YOOtheme Pro layout display records from Phoca Download without manually coding a separate data connection.

This need exists because Joomla core does not provide either Phoca Download or a native bridge between that component and YOOtheme Pro. Joomla does provide custom fields, access control, language handling and publishing controls, but those features do not by themselves expose Phoca Download documents as selectable data in a page-builder layout. A site can usually rely on Phoca Download's own views, create a template override, or build a custom integration. According to the listing, this extension goes beyond those core facilities by exposing documents, categories and Phoca Download custom fields to YOOtheme elements, with filtering and sorting options. The listing also says that links continue through Phoca Download and that access, language and publishing rules are respected.

It is aimed at teams running both Phoca Download and YOOtheme Pro that want download grids, category tiles or selected files assembled in the builder. A conventional Joomla site using neither product, or a site happy with Phoca Download's standard presentation, has no obvious use for it.

The listing marks it as a paid download under the GPLv2-or-later licence, but gives no price. It names Norbert Graup as developer and lists five other extensions; this listing has no reviews. Before installing, check the commercial terms, support arrangements, documentation, and the stated requirement for Joomla 6 and YOOtheme Pro 4 or 5. The listing does not explain the exact pricing, update period, or what happens if either dependency changes.
