With all other options disabled it is the same effect as having multiple lists. Example:CodeCall Programming
How do you link to one specific category?
Add these commands to your ionFiles URL: &func=showcategory&categoryid=

Replace
x with the id of the category you want to link to. You can find the category IDs in the ionFiles Category Manager.

Description
I wanted a
simple non-categorized download for Joomla that would track my download stats. I couldn't find a decent one and Joomla being based around "categories" I started to create my own.
ionFiles is a simple download management tool for Joomla. ionFiles tracks downloads and lists files all in one place. There are no categories to browse through! Perfect for anyone in need of a download manager but doesn't want the category listings.
