Separate a link

[RalfF]

Hi to all,
I want to link a lot of files within jDownloads.
The paths consist of a static part (e.g. "[Internal DNS or IP]/main_download_directory/") and a dynamic part (e.g. "file1.pdf" or "subdirectory/file2.docx").

Is it possible to make a workaround that I only have to store the dynamic part of the path and jDownloads combines the two parts within the output algorithm?

Thanks a lot in advance for any idea.

Hi,
I do not understand why you this need and it I think it is not possible.
It exist some Joomal extension where you can manipulate URL's. Maybe could this be helpful.

Thank you for your immediate response, Arno.

The reason is that I sometimes like it quick and dirty ;-) 
100 short file names are easier to handle than 100 long file names.

And it is not only me putting the files into the system - and it makes my life easier serving a simple solution.

I'll take a look at the extensions.

But pls. can you tell me in which file this string
"/index.php/component/jdownloads/summary/5-ad-testdirectory/3-testfile-linked"
is created and linked to the individual database entry ??


Thanks in advance

The qustion is whether the real link shall be visible.
When this is not a problem could you deactivate this option on the pic.

But pls. can you tell me in which file this string
"/index.php/component/jdownloads/summary/5-ad-testdirectory/3-testfile-linked"
is created and linked to the individual database entry ??

See /components/com_jdownloads/views/summary/tmpl/default.php
