Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

I have a question

Is it possible to display the details button only for a specific ACL?

For example, I want the details button to appear only for the user with a certain level of access, but for the site visitor I do not want it to appear.

I looked for something in the jDownloads settings, but I did not find this possibility

This request may be kind of weird, but for sure I ask here.

It's a request from a user, do not condemn me.  :P ;D

Maybe you could use the special placeholders from the jDownloads system plugin in your jD layouts?

I said button details, but what I mean is the read more button, which takes the screen with the details of the download (file name, hits, creation date, modification date, etc ...)

Are you talking about the Plugins tab in the jD settings?
Or the Custom Data Fields tab?

In the jD help tutorials, do you have any examples of how to use this feature for what I need?

Hi
If you look at plugin 'Systems - jdownloads' in the extensions - Plugins, then in the Advaced tab you will see lines like below

{jdreg} This text will only be seen by logged-in users {/jdreg}
This means the text " This text will only be seen by logged-in users " will only be seen by users who are logged in.
Somewhere in your Files Layout you will have a line like
<div class="jd_readmore">{link_to_details}</div>
So you could try modifying to
<div class="jd_readmore">{jdreg}{link_to_details}{/jdreg}</div>
But having tried ammending the layout in various ways it does not seem to work!!

Please couldyou add as a suggestion that layouts support such a facility.
Thanks
Colin

Can it be that you have forget the { jdreg } part?  ;) Also must the Hide functionality be activated in the plugin.

I have try it and it works properly. See pics. In the first pic is a user logged in.

@Arno
Whoops! I forgot to enable the Hide Functionality!! :(
Yes it works AOK

@Belini
In Layout "Files Layout with Readmore and download Buttons v3.2 (2)" which is a copy of the original I changed the line
<div class="jd_readmore">{link_to_details}</div>
to
<div class="jd_readmore">{link_to_details}</div>
That also removed the line caused by the class jd_readmore.

Colin
Edit I have just written a short article on the hide functionality
