Hello,
When upgrading jdownloads from version 4.0.52 to version 4.1.0, the system gave the error "data too long for column 'title' at row 1," and the jdownloads page on the website doesn't work.
Is there a solution?
Or is it possible for the developers of this very useful plugin to fix the problem for the next version?
I'm not an expert, so I don't want to mess with the database.
Previous versions up to 4.0.52 worked perfectly.
Hi,
I'm sorry to hear you've encountered a problem with the new version.
However, we've already identified and resolved the issue.
I can therefore provide you with a fixed version 4.1.1. But I'm not sure what state your jDownloads database tables are in.
Do you have a backup of the database from just before the update?
If so, you could restore that first and then run the update again with v4.1.1.
If you don't have the backup, I recommend you create one now at the latest (Akeeba Backup or SQL export). Only then should you try again.
If you'd like, I can do this for you, but I'll need access details which you can send me via PM.
I just installed jDownloads for Joomla! 5 & 6. I am using Joomla 5.4.3, and this warning appeared instantly in a yellow banner:
(Data too long for column 'title' at row 1)
Although the installation was successful, that warning simply caught my attention.
Hi Arno,
Unfortunately, I can't give you access to the site because it's not exposed to the internet, but it's a public institution intranet.
I've already restored the site's backup to the previous version of jdownloads. We have two identical sites, one for testing and one for production. Naturally, we first update the plugins on the testing site and, if everything goes well, on the production site. Both are backed up.
If you could kindly send me the jdownloads version with the solution, I'd be grateful.
Hi Arno,
I updated jodownloads to version 4.1.2 and the problem no longer occurs.
The page displays correctly. Everything works fine.
Problem solved.
Thank you for your attention.
Hi gm.peppi,
thanks for the info. ;)
