Suggestions - Feature Request / DMG png

Last post by ColinM - 04.06.2025 10:24:55

Hi
The dmg.png image is in the jD distribution kit. So it will be there for all releases

PS The safest best way to get the icon added to older Downloads is to just add it where missing rather than the database way

Hi
One way is to goto the database and edit that - but take a backup first.
However whilst a bit boring the manual way you are doing it is the safest way.
Also when I do such a task I set myself a target of say 20/day not exciting but effective

Ok I guess I will do it the manual way as I am not skilled at coding sql. How can I make sure future additions use this icon and not the unknown.png version?

No worries! I had a friend send me the official Haiku icons and I am now using the official icon for hpkg files 😁 You can see them at https://beos.retro-os.live in the download link

I have a bunch of files in .dmg format which were set to the "unknown.png" icon image rather than dmg.png. I see the .png version and manually editing the downloads I can set the file icon and it works fine. Is there a way to go back and rescan all files using the unknown.png file to the new versions? I may write a tool to do this myself but I am not that good with SQL commands...

How can I create a icon of my own and add it for the .hpkg files already there? Or can you create it for me? Either way is fine with me...

General / publishing from front end

Last post by ColinM - 01.06.2025 16:38:25

Hii
The 'options' for the front end users are in User Groups Settings in the jDownloads section of the Main Joomla menu .  So click on User Groups Settings. It will show a list of User Groups and some of their settings.  In your case click on the Publisher UG.
This opens up the front end confiuration for that user group.  Ther are 3 tabs Group Settings,
Group Creation/Edditing Settings and Limits.  In the Group Creation/Edditing Settings there is a setting 'Publish new Downloads' that needs to be set to Yes.  Its default is No.
