Hi,
I have a simple HTML page containing a few direct links to some pdf files on the server. (The page was created using the Page content-type and FULL-HTML Input format). I want the user to be able to click on the links and open the files in a new window. I placed these PDF files under a directry "/pdfforms" inside the Drupal home directory.
The problem is Path-Auto changes the path of my page to "content/mypage" so when I click on the file link they are looking for the pdf files in "content/padforms" so I get a "page not found" error. I tried to create a "content" file and put my pdfforms there but that did work. I can get these links to work by turning-off path-auto for this page and hard coding the path to "/mypage" but I rather not do that.
Does anyone know how to have working file links without changing the path-auto default settings?
I am using Drupal 6.13.

Thanks,
Wayne

Links...
Have you tried adding a slash at the beginning of the address so that it looks like this:
<a target="_blank" href="/pdfforms/Application%20For%20Membership.pdf">Click Here</a> to view and print, ....That's typically fixed it for me.

Simply start your links with
Simply start your links with a / to make them absolute to your domain, instead of relative.
For example:
href="/pdfforms/myform.pdf"instead ofhref="pdfforms/myform.pdf".Thanks Guys :)
I was hoping it would be something easy. I thought I was going to have to use php functions.
