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.

Does this mean we have to input data again?
Or is it simply the name of the column that is changed, but the data remains ?

Hi
There is no data loss as jD handles the 'conversion' of the 3.2 to 3.9.  Just to be clear, you do not need to re-input any data.

The implication is just on 'other' extensions, that is extensions not included with jD, that provide compatibility with jDownloads.  As far as we are aware all known 'other' extensions have been upgraded.

In principle I think the data remains and you just have to update the column, I think it was an update failure ...

@Kaze30
there is nothing for the user to do - jD does all that is necessary
