How to list downloads on the basis of custom field

[pinarayi]

In your documentation you have given details about custom fields. As in Documentation, I made custom field named - Brand. For different downloads I had entered different brands in the custom field. Now, I want to list downloads with Brand=Honda. Some times, I will mention category which will include sub categories also. Some times, I want to list from entire downloads. How can I do that? Is it possible using category listing or search option?

Hi
The only listing that is available on an individual field is the List My Downloads which uses the 'Creator' field.
Searching includes checking the contents of the custom Large Text Field.
There is a Single category menu item.

Could you please add as a suggestion a menu item that allows l;isting by matching the contents of jD fields where one would be able to select a field and speciy desired contents.

Another approach which might be suitable is to make use of Joomla! tags. For instance I tag some Downloads as video or audio.  I can then lget a Jommla! liosting of such tagged items. You can get a list by clicking on a Tag or by using the Tagged Items menu item.

I was trying use tags for this purpose. But for tags were not working for jdownloads eventhough it works with joomla articles perfectly. I had already posted query in this regard. http://www.jdownloads.com/forum/index.php?topic=9040.0
