Last post by musicasampler - 15.04.2026 01:33:47

I have just installed the v4.1.3 Stable on my production site (musicasampler.com) and it works perfectly! The "Critical Error 0" is completely gone. Now searching for short terms like "U2" or names with numbers like "La 33" works flawlessly and shows all the results without any issues.

Thank you very much for the quick fix!

Best regards,
MUSICASAMPLER

It seems perfect to me if you send me that version via private message so I can test it on the test site.

Thanks for reporting the bug. It's been fixed in 4.1.3. The limit has also been reduced from 3 characters to 2.
I'll send you a pre-release version via PM for you to test.

General / Files not updating after repla...

Last post by lylybr - 14.04.2026 04:52:59

Hi everyone, I'm using jDownloads 4.x on Joomla 4, and I've noticed an issue when I replace an existing file in the Downloads section. After uploading a new version of the file (same name), the frontend still serves the old file, even after clearing Joomla cache and browser cache.

I also tried changing the file name and reassigning it, but sometimes the old version still appears for some users. Could this be related to server-side caching or how jDownloads handles file updates?

What is the correct way to fully replace a file so that users always download the latest version immediately?

Bugs! / Critical Error 0 on short sear...

Last post by musicasampler - 13.04.2026 02:34:27

I am experiencing a "Error 0" when searching for short terms (2 characters) like "U2" using the jDownloads search function. Instead of showing "No results" or a length warning, the system triggers a fatal error.Steps to reproduce:Go to the jDownloads search page: index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=searchEnter a 2-character keyword (e.g., "U2").Click "Search".The page returns a "Error 0".Expected behavior:The component should handle short strings gracefully without crashing, or provide a validation message if the database limit (ft_min_word_len) is not met.Additional Context:The issue occurs specifically when using the jDownloads search view. It seems to be a failure in handling empty results or SQL minimum length requirements within the component's search controller.Request:Is there a specific configuration or a code fix to prevent this Error 0 in the current stable version?

Hi
Yes this part of jDownloads.  Please see article "Setting User Limits" - it is in the General Items section
https://www.jdownloads.net/documentation?view=article&id=157:setting-user-limits&catid=28

The limits are set up for a User Group but are applied to each individual separately.
Best wishes
Colin

General / Limit Downloads Per User Per D...

Last post by marktuan - 12.04.2026 05:09:33

Hi everyone, I'm new here.                                                                                                      sports games

Is there a way in jDownloads to limit downloads per user per day? I'm trying to prevent abuse but still allow normal users to access files without too many restrictions.

Not sure if this is built-in or needs a plugin. Any advice would be appreciated!
