Hello! I have come up with a tool to update the jdownloads file type icon to the current icon for the filesystem extension. Very useful if you have multiple files using the "unknown" file type or for files that have changed their file type. Be sure and do a backup before running this tool!

Download it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jddownload-file-types/

Let me know if you need help with it...

It would be awesome (and make updating file info easier) if you could search for file type in the admin area. So I could search for all files of type ".zip" etc...

After I extract the files into flat_1 I see the .png files there but I don't see it as a option when editing the existing files that had a unknown.png icon...
Edit: Found that server was using flat_2 rather than flat_1. I switched to using flat_1 and it's now showing up

I know that, but i need to reindex manually because i insert/update contacts informations directly in the db with a sql script, so the need to run the cron job.
It works, there is the error only jdownloads plugins are enabled.

Last post by ColinM - 13.06.2025 16:00:34

Hi
I have created several more images to be located in 'flat_1'. These are for extensions hqx, bz2, bz. tgz and sit.
They are in the attached zip file
For reference the location of flat_1 is
YOURSITE\images\jdownloads\fileimages
You will need to use eithe the site file manager or an ftp program such as File Zilla

General / Smart Search

Last post by ColinM - 13.06.2025 15:41:40

Hi
With Smart Search you do not need to re-index as it automatically adds items to the index when they are created. This one of the features of Smart Search in Joomla 5.

I do not know why your cronjob fails but maybe Smart Search cannot be started that way!!
However I did find a reference that implies it can run as a Cron Job

General / joomla.php finder:index error ...

Last post by Bucari - 13.06.2025 12:23:29

Hi, i have a Joomla 5.2.6 installation with jDownloads Version 4.0.47.
Since i need to run every night a cron job to start a reindex using "php joomla.php finder:index" cli command, this cron job fails if i enable Smart Search - jDownloads and Smart Search - jDownloads Categories plugins.

The error is Call to a member function authorise() on null in CategoriesHelper.php line 214

How can i fix that?
