Hi
The plugin you are seeking to use is a Captcha/Recatcha type. This will clash with the stadard Joomla Catcha/Recaptca - it is not a jDownloads problem.
However I can assist in setting up the Standard Google based one which is also known as the 'Invisible' type. As a starting point please look at article 'Using CAPTCHA in Joomla 4 & 5'
This is in the standard jD documention at
https://www.jdownloads.net/documentation?view=article&id=324&catid=27
The most 'challenging part is actually creating a Google account.
Best wishes
Colin

Bugs! / JDownloads&CloudFlare Turnstil...
Last post by mehmettas - 15.07.2025 20:34:39Hello,
I'm using JDownloads v4.047 with joomla 5.3.2 , PHP 8.3.2, MySQLi 10.5.29-MariaDB. When I activate the CloudFlare turnstile plugin, the file download does not work. I will share the site information if you want to review it. This site is a trial site. I have a backup. I tried it on another site. The same problem appears.
Please help me to solve the problem.

General / Shorter links
Last post by ColinM - 07.07.2025 11:36:08Hi
I generally have two List All Categories menu items. One of the is hidden and does not appear inany menu. jD uses that one for internal purpose. Then a second one is set up as a rgular menu item.
If I have a particular category that I want to access directly then I set up a single category menu item that links directly to that category. So it is a short link. It is NOT a sub link of List all categories menu item

Hi
Did you know that you can set up htaccess protection in jDownloads. This is setup in the security tab. Hotlinking protection and block when no referrer are also available.

General / Check Download Area gives 403 ...
Last post by webenhanced - 05.07.2025 02:30:45Seems that this is a known issue and so far I have been advised to disable Admin Tools. Unfortunately, this is not an option for the site I am installing jDownloads on, so if I cannot find the particular setting in Admin Tools (htaccess maker), then I'll have to use another download manager that is OK with Admin Tools.
Does anyone know what the particular setting is that causes jDownloads "Check Download Area" to 403?
I have not been able to find any logs to tell me what actually happened other than the apache server logs that say
Also if anyone can point me in the right direction to help determine how to make these two extensions play well together would be appreciated.

Last post by webenhanced - 05.07.2025 02:21:21Looks like if you use the Joomla menu system to have sub categories with their own menu item, then the URL will just be longer.
Also found out during the conversation with Colin that jDownloads does not play well with Akeeba Admin Tools. I will make a separate post for the discussion about what Akeeba setting causes jDownloads to fail.

Last post by recipestay - 26.06.2025 10:20:48I have a handful of 4chan links in my download list, and they worked perfectly the first time. I'd like to be able to restart the same downloads on another day once fresh postings have been made to those URLs. I tried "Force Download Start", but none of the additional files were grabbed. What to do?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Thanks for the article, but I do not see how it is related to the missing feature reported above. I have no "htaccess protection" problem and I do not need to show multiple downloads in a single call. Maybe these are interesting news for other users.
As promised I have sent you the modified code of "plugins/content/jdownloads/jdownloads.php" together with some screenshots of my demo site. I hope, this helps to understand and fix the problem.

Tom
