Smart Search

[jolof]

Hello!
I have updated to jDownloads 4.0.26 Stable
I'm trying to implement Smart Search, it finds files and libraries , BUT the links I get don't work "404 Page not found".
The path I get e.g. to a category: index.php/component/jdownloads/category/45-2006-2009?highlight=WyIyMDA2LTIwMDkiXQ==&Itemid=1288
And to a file it becomes: index.php/component/jdownloads/download/38-publik/332-maklarinformation-230324?highlight=WyJtXHUwMGU0a2xhcmluZm9ybWF0aW9uIl0=&Itemid=1288
What am I doing wrong?


Sorry, my English is not good, hope you understand.

What if you disable 'Highlight Search Terms' in smart search options?
Maybe jdownloads does not like the extra parameter in the url.

Or, easier, remove 'highlight=WyJtXHUwMGU0a2xhcmluZm9ybWF0aW9uIl0=&' from your file url manually.

Hi and thanks!
It made the link look better BUT I still have the links I get not working "404 Page not found"
The link now became: index.php/component/jdownloads/download/38-publik/332-maklarinformation-230324.html?Itemid=1288
instead of: index.php/component/jdownloads/download/38-publik/332-maklarinformation-230324 ?highlight=WyJtXHUwMGU0a2xhcmluZm9ybWF0aW9uIl0=&Itemid=1288

This came up in the everything log, if that means anything:

Hi
What version of Joomla are you using? There seems to be a 'challenge' with Joomla 4.3.0 and Categories

Hi and thanks!
Yes, I have Joomla! 4.3.0 Stable, should I just wait and hope it works out?

[ColinM]

Hi
Yes please wait as getting compatibility with latest Joomla is obviously important.  But I have noted that there are seveal reports of bugs with J4.3.0 so there may be a revison by the Joomla team!!!

Thanks so much!

This problem seems to have nothing to do with jDownloads. Therefore, it will be moved.

I have a similar issue. Smart search works for every other Plugin, but jDownloads results lead to a 404 error.

If I compare the result URL from the old Search plugin to smart search:

Old Search: http://intranet/index.php/component/jdownloads/?task=download.send&id=2841&catid=18&m=0&Itemid=101
Smart Search: http://intranetdev/index.php/component/jdownloads/download/151-social-engineering/1376-se-2016-v1-00?highlight=WyJ0ZXN0Il0=&Itemid=1200

The URL seems to be not generated right. Does anyone have a solution?

In Global Configuration in the SEO group I changed Search Engine Friendly URLs to no, then it worked for me.
