jDownloads Support Forum

Hello,
I'm having an issue where I can't change the status (Publish or Unpublish) of a file from the frontend. It does allow uploading successfully. However, you must then go to the backend to change the status. The task requires users to be able to manage it from the frontend.
I'm using Jdownload 4.0.43 and Joomla! 5.3.3
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
Please note that the lastest version of jDownloads is 4.0.47 so perhaps you could update as that is the version I am using.
In order to allow users to upload from the frontend I presume you have done this by adding them to a specific User Group.  Is that correct? For discussion purposes suppose this User Group is called 'uploader2'.
In the backend go to User Groups and click on uploader2. This opens up a new page with the Group Title and the Ranking level.  Below that are three tabs 'Group Settings', 'Group Creation/Editing Settings' and 'Limits'.
So click on 'Group Creation/Editing Settings'.
Scroll Down to find the 'Data Field Selection' section. This grants users of tht UserGroup various Permissions.

In the Publishing tab section click on the box following Published. Users in the Group uploader2 will now be able to publish
Please also look at article publish new downloads

Hello!! I found the 'Publish New Downloads' option!!! Now the 'Publishers' group can upload files and they'll be automatically published.
Thank you very much for the prompt and accurate response.
