Bugs! / Error in Joomla 5, when upload...

Last post by MikaelBjors - Yesterday at 23:50:32

I get this error when trying to upload a pdf, after upgrading site to Joomla 5:

Is it a known bug?

General / 4SEF Hook for Jdownloads URLs

Last post by Zoom - Yesterday at 21:26:11

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4.

The main issue I've had is that I was using JoomSEF before, and it does not support Joomla 4.

So I'm using 4SEF instead, but it does not support jdownloads in the same way as JoomSEF could.

I reached out to the developer of 4SEF, and they created a hook that would filter the URL to the desired effect before it was registered. This stripped out the /download, category ID, and download ID from the URL. My designed SEF URL is: categoryname/downloadname.

This works great when the URL is from something in Jdownloads, but it does not work from things like tag pages.

That's because the non-SEF URL for tags does not include the category ID of Jdownloads and, therefore, can't be added to the URL.

I contacted the SEF developer again, who said they could not fix it. To quote them:

QuoteHowever, 4SEF is not going to be able to ADD the category. This would require knowing how JDownloads stores categories and being able to identify the category an item belongs to (plus read that category title from the database).

I'd suggest talking to the JDownloads developer here: if you provide them this code, they should be able to modify it to provide the category where it's missing.

Also, they should be able to add the category in the non-sef URL, which may solve the issue from the start.

So, the question is, do you think you can fix this code to add the category ID of Jdownloads for the URL?

I'm desperate for this to work, and will gladly compensate for any time spent on it!

Here's the hook code:

Hi
jDownloads alresdy supports SVG files in Downloads. Create a Download just as you would normally. When the Download is shown in either the Front end or Backend it will have an SVG symbol as illustrated in the attached images.
For the images I selected in options - Pictures and Buttons tab in Option 'Select File Type Icon Set' the Modern Icon set 1.
If you want to upload your own symbol let me know.

Colin
PS you can also select symbols for categories

Last post by msabbagh627 - Yesterday at 00:36:19

Hi JDownloads Team,

I am wondering that can it be possible to use SVG files as symbol? or place a field for determining font awesome icons?
Actually SVG are more modern to use, because they can be styled with the css in the frontend.
I put my svg icons in the mywebsite.com/images/jdownloads/catimages/ directory, but they don't appear in the Category Symbol dropdown.

I think it would be wonderful to give the authority to select box to pick from SVG files too.

There are no place holders for Price or Category in the Download Email.

Maybe you could add to suggestions

Hello!
How do I insert placeholders in download email layouts for notification like price or category? ?

The Available placeholder variables for E-Mail Configuration for Downloads:
{file_list} {ip_address} {date_time} {user_name} {user_group}
So, I wish to add "Price" and "Category"
