Here can you get help for jDownloads!
News:
Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

The Joomla people made a significant change in Joomla 5.2.5 This has affected several Components including jDownloads.
Arno is working on a new jD release to overcome this 'challeng'. We do not know yet when the new jD relrease will occur as it will require much testing.
However in the short term the best route is go back to joomla 5.2.4. Usually when upgrading fron one version of Joomla to the next an Akeeba backup is made. If you have this I strongly advise to use the backup

Joomla 5.2.5 changed some fundamental code that affected jD. Arno is busy creating a jD update to solve this 'challenge'. If you have an akeeba backup or similar of your site before Jooma 5.2.5 then I would suggest you revert until the next jD update is published. This Joomla change has affected many applications.
You also mentioned "BTW the letters verification is very difficult to get past, even repeating, playing the language, etc. It takes numerous attempts. " Is this when you initially join the Forum

Last post by Arno - 08.04.2025 11:58:34Hi,
thanks a lot for this important hint.
As I have not been able to actively work on jDownloads in the last few months, I am not yet informed about the latest developments/changes. I'll probably have to catch up.
I will start this afternoon and hope to be able to provide a solution soon.

Last post by tatabdullah - 08.04.2025 10:06:16Hello again,
I followed up on this issue with the Joomla core development team and shared the details regarding the Data Field Selection settings not saving correctly after updating to Joomla 5.3.0-rc1.
I received a response stating that this behavior is due to a Backward Compatibility break (B/C break) introduced in Joomla 5.2.4, and they confirmed that it will not be reverted.
It seems that this change in the Joomla core affects how form data is saved or validated, and any third-party extensions relying on the previous behavior may need to be updated accordingly.
I just wanted to share this update in case it helps clarify the cause of the issue, and I'd appreciate it if a compatibility fix could be considered in a future jDownloads release.
Many thanks again for your efforts and support.

Bugs! / Data Field Settings Not Saving...
Last post by tatabdullah - 08.04.2025 08:57:27Dear jDownloads Development Team,
First of all, I would like to thank you for providing and maintaining such a useful and feature-rich component for the Joomla community.
I am currently using jDownloads on my Joomla-based website for frontend file submissions. After recently upgrading Joomla to version 5.3.0-rc1, I've encountered an issue regarding the Data Field Selection section in the Frontend Upload Settings.
When attempting to configure the available fields for a specific user group (under "Group Creation / Editing Settings"), any modifications made to the checkbox selections are not being retained after saving. Regardless of the initial configuration, only a limited number of fields—most notably "Title" and "Category"—remain checked, and all other options are reset.
This issue appears to be consistent across different browsers and Joomla user groups. Given that the issue only began after updating Joomla, it may be related to recent core changes affecting form submission or field validation behavior.
I kindly ask if you could investigate this behavior and confirm whether a fix or compatibility update is planned for Joomla 5.3 support.
Thank you once again for your continued support and development work.
Best regards,
