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.
Language: PHP
Additional Info First Joomla add-on created so there are probably many bugs to be found.
