Hi all!

I've searched high and low for a way to do this, easily. I have a page with links to almost 60 PDF files on it that are stored on a separate server so that my client can easily update those files. Currently we must keep the exact file name so that the link in my DNN site doesn't break. This is just waiting for broken links. My thought would be to have a way to have a DNN module dynamically create a link from the files in a folder; where the folder either within the DNN installation or outside as it is now. Sound possible?

Here is a link to the the page in question: http://www.brevard.edu/Academics/Registrar/Registrarforms/tabid/1327/Default.aspx#major

If it was only this page I had to worry about it wouldn't be an issue, but, I have potentially 100's of forms that will need to be made available and maintained. yearly, or semester updating of these forms will be common.

Any advice you can send my way would be appreciated!

Tom

There is a module by www.ventrian.com called Folder Files which auto lists all files in a folder - though I assume that the folder needs to be placed inside DotNetNuke Portal directory.
