Fake components page?

rmccue · 3rd June 2007, 04:01

Is there any way to fake a components page?
I want to display a list of files to download, with multiple files selectable and the selected item(s) returned, ala a ListBox item.
I would use a normal components page, but it needs to be created at runtime.
Any ideas?

The whole point is because I want to list the file names and descriptions, but then only get the download URL back, however the name is fine.

Rather than trying to mess with a 'fake' components page, you might take a look at theInstallOptionsEx plugin. The docs describe a tree view, which looks like it should work a bit better (though I've not actually tried it.)

Well, I had another look and the EmbeddedLists plugin does what I want.
Thanks anyway.
