Last post by Arno - 21.04.2026 19:51:42Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Do you want to assign a webp image file to every article? Or do you mean every Download in jDownloads?

Last post by Arno - 20.04.2026 10:25:08Hi Pete,
sorry for the late reply. I must have missed this post as well. Unfortunately, the notification system for new forum posts isn't working at the moment.
I've had a look at it now, and it's been fixed in the next version, 4.1.4.

perhaps you mean the display for logged-in users on the summary page?
See pic.
Or just a spam post?

I am a little confused! There is no jD Status module but there is a Stats module that shows the statistics: how many Downloads; the number of Categories; and the total number of times files have been downloaded.
The other jD Modules are Top, Latest, Last Updated, Most Recently Downloaded, Related Downloads, Most Rated Downloads, Featured, Tree, Stats and View Limits. There is also a "What is jDownloads?" module which allows you to create your own module.
Additionally there are two jD Admin modules: jDownloads Stats for Administrators which shows somer site statisics and the "Download Bereich überprüfen" (jDownloads Administrator Monitoring)

General / Download Status Module Improve...
Last post by Williamia - 17.04.2026 09:08:31Currently, if a user group is not allowed to download, the module incorrectly displays "you can download unlimited" instead of a proper notification like "you do not have permission to download."
I suggest revising the module to include a feature that accurately reflects user permissions, such as displaying a message when a group is restricted from downloading. This would enhance clarity and maintain the design integrity of the modules on the page.
Wouldn't it be a great idea to add this function?
Thank you

Last post by Pete - 16.04.2026 09:23:52Hi,
in the frontend class class SendModel which extends ItemModel (Path: components/com_jdownloads/src/Model/SendModel.php) are references to the Joomla::Text in lines 231 and 238. This doesn't work.
I fixed my frontend by change the calls to: return $app->enqueueMessage(\Joomla\CMS\Language\Text::_('COM_JDOWNLOADS_DOWNLOAD_NOT_FOUND'), 'error');
Can you please consider changing this within your source code for the next 4.1.x release.
- Joomla Version: 5.4.5
- Installed jDownloads Version (see jDownloads control page at the footer) > 4.1.2
- PHP Version: 8.3
- Use you the standard backend template? > yes
- It is a new Joomla 4 installation? > no

Last post by Pete - 16.04.2026 09:20:36Hi,
in the frontend class class SendModel which extends ItemModel (Path: components/com_jdownloads/src/Model/SendModel.php) is still an outdated call with pass by reference in the method getItems().
I fixed my frontend by removing the pass by reference to: public function getItems($pk = null)

Last post by Arno - 15.04.2026 10:15:54Hi,
Unfortunately, you haven't specified exactly what you mean by 'upload'.
It's not a good idea to simply upload a more recent version via FTP.
You should always use the standard method via 'Edit Download' for this. If you then select a new file during the file selection process, the old file will be replaced by it.
If any problems do arise, you can delete the old file from the downloads folder beforehand. See image.
