jDownloads Latest Module direct download instead of jump to category

[kevinp]

Hey all,

Great component en modules! 

But i have a question about the Latest Module.
Is it possible to change the link in de Latest Module to a direct download (direct link).
The situation right now is, when you click on an item, you jump to the category where the documents is placed.
But i like to have a direct download, so you don't jump to the category but download it straight away!

Hope you can help me ?!

Maybe is it also possible with the other modules (top module ....)

Greats from the Netherlands!

Hi.

The situation right now is, when you click on an item, you jump to the category where the documents is placed.

See the options - you can also link directly to the download details page.
A direct link is not possible without code changings.

I saw it is possible to link to the details page, but that's not how we like to have it.

Can someone help me with the code changings? 

The situation is:
We building an intranet.
We make articles with the list of documents belong to the article (in jdownloads)
When they click on a document we want the people to download it directly, so they don't go to the jdownloads component, because it could be for some people confusing.


@Arno Thanks for the reply...

I fixed it...

go to the modules/mod_jdownloads_latest/tmpl folder.
Edit the template you choose in the module (alternate or default)

I choose alternate

Then change on line 61

$link = 'index.php?option='.$option.'&Itemid='.$Itemid.'&view=viewcategory&catid='.$files[$i]->cat_id;

into

$link = 'index.php?option='.$option.'&Itemid='.$Itemid.'&view=finish&catid='.$files[$i]->cat_id.'&cid='.$files[$i]->file_id;


@arno maybe you can add a feature into the module like that
