flatten the section/category hierarchy?

[jrw]

I have three files I want to make available for download. It's ridiculous to make the user click down through menu/section/category to get to a listing of three files. Is there some way to simply have the download menu item point directly to a page listing of all the files that are available for download?

Thank you
Jeff

You can add a menu item as an External Link to the category you would like to link to. I do not feel this is desired, but it is the only option included with the component due to Joomla's ItemID problems.

Or you can try adding this patch via FTP to your component after it is installed. It should add an option to create a direct link to a Section, or a Category, or a File.

Thanks for the quick response.
