Patch for the module mod_swmenufree.

In the File Archive of woweb.biz is published a patch of the module mod_swmenufree swmenufree of the component SWmenufree, widely used for creation of dynamic menus for Mambo / Joomla.

The patch fixes a basic shortcoming of the module, which does not let the administrator create a link to an anchor (#anchor) using Link - URL. The base module adds another item/value group at the end of the (&Itemid=value).

For example: If in the field Link (Link - URL) you write:
http://www.mysite.com/component/option,com_contact/Itemid,3/#anchor
As a result you get this erroneous path to the article: http://www.mysite.com/component/option,com_contact/#anchor&Itemid=3

Of course this link doesn't work. The patch jos1.0.9_mod_swmenufree_anchor_patch.tgz fixes this error.

The patch file can be loaded from the File Archive of woweb.biz: jos1.0.9_mod_swmenufree_anchor_patch.tgz. The file readme.txt, which is inside the archive contains detailed instructions for installation.
