Last post by baba - 20.09.2026 10:04:40Hello Colin,
because the strange/unpredicable behaviour of Joomla, i changed my workflow to have a working solution.
So it is now:
1. DJ is uploading to my Seafile instance (as before)
2. I'm doing the needed pre-processing (id3tags, naming etc.) (as before)
3. The processed file goes to the JDownloads upload folder (changed step)
4. I am adding the file to the proper category & add details (as before)
Thanks again for your help!
Cheers
Baba

Thanks for extra info. I now understand that Seafile is a cloud based file sharing and syncing platform. I am not familiar with it !!
I understand you have around 12,000 Downloads. Could you outline how you then make the file into a Download please.
Is it by using the External File Link in Add Download? And do you have to set the Creation Date?

Hey Colin,
i try to explayn as good i can
- DJ's are uploading the DJ-Set via Seafile to their repo.
- I am checking the files and add additional stuff like id3 tags etc.
- if all done i copy the file into my JDownloads file structure (var/www/jdownloads/dj_abc e.g)
- After that i am performing the JDownloads scan & add files and details as needed
Additional Information:
I have a dev-system (restore of my prod joomla)
I performed a scan for new files with success! - All new files found & added!
So i performed a backup and wnat to restore this Backup on my broken Prod system, but got this Joomla error:
An error has occurred.
0 Joomla\Filesystem\File::upload: File not uploaded for security reasons!
I think if i would be able to restore the backup file (.txt) the issue would be gone!

Actually I think the scan has successfully - it identified a file that is not yet been made into a Download or there is a missing category. Did you use the Files method to upload and create Downloads? If it is a large file then it may take a little while.

Hello Collin, thanks for you quick aswer. To clear things up a little:
My Downloads are uploaded to a SeaFile instance by the DJs. I then copy the files to the proper directory (Wasabi mounted). Then i perform the JDownload scan (Test first) and fill the details & publish the Download. I did it
I checked the existence & checksum of the file => OK. Until today it worked this way for almost 12k of Downloads!
Cheers

Last post by baba - 18.09.2026 11:13:49I use jDownloads on an existing site I support and I like it very much. But i got an issue all sudden!
jDownloads Version 4.1.7 Stable - Date: 2026-07-24
Joomla: 6.13
PHP 8.3.33
I performed a test scan and got this result:

Any help is highly appreciated!

This and that... / Feature Updates & Optimization...
Last post by unicycletrivial - 18.09.2026 09:00:56One of the top download managers for the Joomla! CMS has long been jDownloads. With its most recent revisions, jDownloads continues to provide notable gains in security, performance, and interface design, igniting passionate debates among web administrators.
The modern features that jDownloads has lately enhanced are the main topic of this discussion. Members will examine the improved page loading times, seamless compatibility with the most recent Joomla! versions, and new mobile-optimized user interface (UI/UX). Improved anti-hotlinking techniques, flexible multilingual support, and enhanced access control (ACL) tools will also be discussed.

General / Re: jDownloads Rating Issue
Last post by IngoLammers - 17.09.2026 13:42:41The {rating} placeholder is already present in my Download Details layout, using exactly the structure you suggested:
<span class="jd_field_value jd_rating_field">{rating}</span>
The rating output is generated and the number of votes is displayed correctly, e.g. (2 votes). The five voting links (one-star to five-stars) are also generated.
However, the HTML element for the existing/current average rating (current-rating) does not appear to be generated. Therefore, the stored average rating is not visually displayed in the download details, although the votes exist and are correctly shown in lists such as "Top Rated".
Could this be related to the rating output in the current jDownloads version rather than the layout itself?
