Hi,
I've just set up jDownload and I'm facing an issue with the URL structure. I created a "Downloads" menu item and it directs me to /downloads.html, which is fine. However, when I created a new category with the alias "media-files," the URL generated is /downloads/category/5-media-files.html.
I expected it to be /downloads/media-files.html.
Strangely, the expected URL works if I type it directly. How can I remove "/category" and the "5-" from the URLs?
Thanks for your help! :-[
Hi
Did you create a 'List all Categories' menu item first?
The following article

explains that such a menu item is essential. Normally I make that menu item hidden.
