I have modified a button plugin so you can link directly to a docman_2 document in article/description and it inserts the link for you...I'm not going to take the time to prepare it for "the public" if no one is interested...just let me know.

I'm interested. Also interested in a plugin to add a link in a Kunena post to a JoomDoc document. It probably can be done with board code, but I need something easier for a non-technical user.

Here is a zip file. This is a quick hack for this need, but the nice thing is it is a simple button so can be modified for other buttons as well...

I've only ever used it on our internal test server, so any feed back on if it even works for you would be great...

Finally, I eventually hope to convert it to use AJAX to filter the documents using drop downs...you should be able to edit the php file to display things the way you want...

Many thanks for the file. I tried it, but am getting a 404 error complaining of a component not found. Does this work with JoomDoc or only DocMan (not DocMan 2)? I had the same issue with DocLink, but I believe that was due to a legacy-mode requirement that I was trying to avoid.

It is for DocMan 2 - let me look through the code and make sure I didn't hard code anything - when do you get the 404?

As soon as I click on the button. I do have both DocMan 2 and JoomDoc installed (transitioning), so the component should be there. In any event, I'm far enough along in the transition that I'd need a button for JoomDoc. It seems you'll need to go there too since DocMan2 is no longer, having been forced to change names to JoomDoc (though all the files should be roughly the same).
