Bugs! / Re: Probleme mit den URLs
Last post by Arno - 26.02.2026 16:38:12Hallo,
leider hatte ich deine Anfrage im Trubel der letzten Wochen wohl übersehen, dafür möchte ich mich entschuldigen. Leider funktioniert auch die E-Mail Benachrichtigung der Foren Software seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr, wodurch schnell mal ein Post übersehen werden kann.
Zu deinem Problem. Ich versuche jetzt mal eine kurze Zusammenfassung deiner Erläuterungen.
Aktuell nutzt du diese Konfiguration?
- Joomla 5.4.2
- jDownloads 4.0.51
- PHP Version 8.4.17
Und dein Ziel wäre folgende (früher genutzte) URL Gestaltung:
Die oben gewünschte URL ist nicht korrekt, da hier ein Teil nicht SEF gemäß umgewandelt wurde.
Korrekt wäre die zweite URL:
Ich hoffe ich habe das jetzt so richtig wiedergegeben.
In dem Fall sieht es nach einem kleinen Bug aus. Ich werde es mir (ich hoffe heute noch) ansehen und beheben. Für Version 4.1 (kommt bald) habe ich das glaube ich auch schon gefixt.
Natürlich benötigt man nicht unbedingt die LegacyRouter.php. Ist dann quasi dasselbe als deaktiviere man die SEF Option in Joomla. Nur dafür ist sie ja zuständig.
Edit:
Hier mal ein erster Versuch. Siehe Anhang. Kopiere die Datei in den Ordner:
JOOMLA_ROOT/components/com_jdownloads/src/Controller
aber zuvor die Originaldatei umbenennen statt zu überschreiben, damit du wieder zum alten Status zurück wechseln kannst, wenn nötig. Habe ich aber in Bezug auf dein Problem noch nicht testen können.
Edit2:
Habe es jetzt testen können und ich denke es bringt nicht die Lösung. Muss ich mir doch genauer anschauen. Könnte aber dann 1-2 Tage dauern.

Quotewww.meineseite.com/downloads?view=category&catid=44&start=20
QuoteBis vor kurzem ist die Seite entsprechend der zweiten Variante angezeigt worden. Die Seite war also auch erreichbar, wenn man nicht eingeloggt war. Hat man sie aufgerufen, wurde man aufgefordert, sich anzumelden und kam dann an den richtigen Ort.
Die oben gewünschte URL ist nicht korrekt, da hier ein Teil nicht SEF gemäß umgewandelt wurde.
Korrekt wäre die zweite URL:
Quotewww.meineseite.com/downloads/category/44-bestellungen-ro?start=20Da ist aber das Ergebnis nicht zufriedenstellend.
Quote... bekommt man einen 404 Fehler.

Last post by patbe60 - 26.02.2026 11:11:30Since I can't answer questions in the general forum, I'm trying here in the hope of getting an answer:
The problems persist in beta version 4.1.0.
As soon as I deactivate the LegacyRouter.php file, everything works perfectly. SEF URLs are no longer displayed, but the links I send to users work.

General / jDownloads 4.1 – Public beta l...
Last post by Arno - 25.02.2026 01:47:43Today we are launching a public beta phase for the first Joomla 6 compatible release 4.1.
All interested users are requested to test the version intensively.
However, please note the following information
1) Key improvements in this version
Improved stability in the central views and processes.
Optimisations in layout output and display (especially in list/grid areas).
Revisions to language keys and localisation (improved consistency of texts, cleaning up language files and removing language keys that are no longer needed).
General bug fixes from previous test runs.
Key Improvements:
✅ Modern HTML5 (backend) upload system (replaces Plupload)
✅ Redesigned scan function for large directories
✅ New, modern layouts for each view type (more to follow)
✅ Joomla 6 + PHP 8.4/8.5 compatible
2) Known issues / points under observation
SEF URLs: Inconsistencies are still possible in certain constellations (routing/redirects/unusual URL patterns).
Please report specific examples with URL + context.
Minor display deviations depending on the template/module position cannot be ruled out.
Caching may delay the display of changes in individual cases (please specify the cache status if you notice any anomalies).
3) What we want to test specifically in this round
Larger amounts of data: please also test with extensive categories/file lists (performance, loading times, pagination, filters).
Multilingualism: check language changes, translations, fallbacks and consistent output in all relevant views.
Permissions/user groups: double-check visibility and access in everyday use.
Real usage scenarios instead of just short tests (several click paths in succession).
Please report feedback as follows:
What was done?
What was expected?
What actually happened?
If possible: URL, language, user group, short screenshot.
Note
This version is still in beta. Do not install this version on productive websites, but only in test environments prepared for this purpose.
Please report errors directly here in the topic so that we can respond quickly.
Thank you for your support – your feedback directly helps with the final stabilisation.

Last post by Arno - 24.02.2026 18:44:27Hi mehmettas,
thank you very much for this update and the link to the new(?) Komento.
I think I will have to revise the plugin for that.

General / Re: Single User download
Last post by junsve - 24.02.2026 15:12:27Thanks Colin.
I installed the component on a completely different site and it worked as expected, so I think I know how to configure it. I uninstalled from my site and reinstalled with the same result, i.e. the download is visible but not downloadable for the single user ("Category not found"). Can CommunityBuilder or any other component or setting have impact?
Do you mind have a look at my site?
Best regards
/Sven

This and that... / Download structure for user wi...
Last post by lichti - 23.02.2026 12:33:35Hello,
have read the documentation about the user groups settings. However I struggle implementing following case:
I have 4 categories (product1 to product4). Each category contains some files (manuals and software installers) for download. The files are visible only for registered users. The category names are visible for everybody.
For every product I have generate a user group with the same name.
How can a user "own" multiple products and can access their related downloads ?
I do not manage to set get it to work. (Either all downloads of all categories are visible for a user or only the downloads of one category.)
Any help would be welcome.
I would also accept a "this can not be realized with jDownloads" to avoid further investigations.
Thank's a lot in advance.

Bugs! / Re: JDownloads 4.1.0 Beta Issu...
Last post by mehmettas - 23.02.2026 10:31:08Hi Arno,
The issue is resolved by uninstalling JDownloads v4.1.0 using the options below and reinstalling JDownloads v4.1.0 Beta. (Menu display issue)
Delete all Images: No
Delete all Files: No
Delete all DB Tables: No
If the com_jdownloads.php file in the /components/com_komento/komento_plugins folder is removed, the second issue can be resolved.
In this case, the Komento application for JDownloads becomes inactive.
NOTE:
There is a Joomla 6 compatible Komento component on the https://creative-graphics.ch/en/ website. I used this one.

Last post by Arno - 23.02.2026 09:58:21As Colin informed me, there is now a Joomla 5/6 compatible Komento version from another provider here at Joomla.org
But seems to be still a little buggy. I had try it on Joomla 6.0.2:
Edit:
I was probably mistaken, because this extension seems to have nothing to do with the earlier Komento extension and is called: R3D Comments

Last post by Arno - 23.02.2026 09:40:14Hi mehmettas,
you could install the komento extension in Joomla 6?
Which Komento version?
And on the other pic:
Which com_jdownloads plugin did you want to install?
And about differences in menu view:
To be honest, I find it hard to imagine that installing a component could cause this. But I will test it and see if I can reproduce such a result.
And I don't have the general information as to whether this was an update from an older version or a new installation.
