Bugs! / Re: Category Listbox Issue - [...
Last post by Arno - 07.04.2026 17:45:35Yes, I've seen that error before, too.
I must apologise: in the latest versions, 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, some fixes were unfortunately released prematurely and without sufficient testing.
This has unfortunately led to a number of subsequent errors that could have been avoided.
Things are a bit different with version 4.1; a beta version was available for quite some time. Yet, despite this, users reported almost no bugs. Although, of course, there were bugs – and there certainly still are. But that's just how it is with open-source products.

Bugs! / Re: Category Listbox Issue
Last post by ghicar - 07.04.2026 15:04:14Think have tracked the issue down to "~\components\com_jdownloads\tmpl\category\default.php" line 312
It seems this code is not used when "overview" is displayed but it is when a category is selected.
In the call to JDHelper::buildCategorySelectBox, need to change one of the arguments to correct placement of quotes from:
to:
Then you can see all categories

Bugs! / Re: Category Listbox Issue
Last post by ghicar - 07.04.2026 12:52:54I have "select max levels" set to zero, but changing this has no affect on the issue.
I have two screenshots showing the complete list and the partial list but cannot work out how to attach or upload them.
Update: I have just sent you a personal message with the two screenshots.

Bugs! / Category Listbox Issue - [Fixe...
Last post by ghicar - 07.04.2026 12:33:23I am having problems with the category listbox that can be displayed in the header of a "List All Categories" menu item.
I have multiple category layers, and when I start off with the "Overview" all the categories and sub-categories are displayed ok in the listbox. However, if I move to a category (any category or sub category) then the list box dropdown display has most (if not all) the top level categories missing but the sub-categories are there.
You can still traverse the category tree using the "up" buttton. Also if you select a top level category from either the category listbox or from selecting a category in the documents list the category listbox displays overview (presumably because the selected category is not in the list).
I have reproduced this on a fresh Joomla 5.4.4 install with just a few categories and downloads.
Environment:
Joomla: 5.4.4
jDownloads: 4.1.2
PHP: 8.2.12 (and 8.4.19)
template: Cassiopeia

I updated jodownloads to version 4.1.2 and the problem no longer occurs.
The page displays correctly. Everything works fine.
Problem solved.
Thank you for your attention.

Last post by Arno - 07.04.2026 11:34:00Your post actually has nothing to do with jDownloads.
When I search for information about deltaexeutor, I find details like this:
Important risks and safety adviceAlthough the tool is popular within the gaming community, there are significant concerns:Breach of terms of service: Using executors breaches Roblox's rules and may result in a permanent account ban.Security risk: As this is unofficial software, there is a risk of malware or viruses. Many tutorials also require dubious verification steps (such as downloading additional apps), which is often a sign of adware or attempted scams. Official sources: It is advisable to treat such applications with great caution, as they are not fully supported by official app stores (such as the Google Play Store or Apple App Store), even though versions with the same name, often with limited functionality, may appear there.
So, best to steer clear!
I've moved your post.

Last post by gm.peppi - 07.04.2026 08:36:11Hi Arno,
Unfortunately, I can't give you access to the site because it's not exposed to the internet, but it's a public institution intranet.
I've already restored the site's backup to the previous version of jdownloads. We have two identical sites, one for testing and one for production. Naturally, we first update the plugins on the testing site and, if everything goes well, on the production site. Both are backed up.
If you could kindly send me the jdownloads version with the solution, I'd be grateful.
