Michael Zielinski	Monday 30 August 2004 4:17:16 am Hi, we just ran into a problem where several of our departments want to link to one and the same file, which is updated frequently. The file is an uploaded pdf. Is there any way to create a 'symbolic' link that all departments can use to refer to that file so we can avoid having to updaet all the pages that refer to the file when a new version is uploaded and gets a new ID?

Referring to the object (no direct download) is not an option? -paul eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans
