Hello Arno,
Thank you so much for taking the time.

Here are the infos :

Joomla Version : 6.1.2

Jdownloads Version : 4.1.5

PHP Version : 8.3

MariaDB Version : 10.11 Standard

Error message 1 : When I click on the scan fodlers button, the Initialise scan is staying at 0%.
The only message I have is Waiting for the test run to start..."

Now if I click on "Run scan", I have "0/0 Proceed - 25%" and it never evolves.
Here is the entire Monitor Log :

That is where it stops.

That's it. Is it useful ?

Thank you so much again.

Hi.
Thanks for the detailed follow-up and for sharing your test.

Current behavior (show link, then login/permission flow) is intentional in 4.1.x, but we understand your SEO/logging concern. Your local core-plugin edit is not recommended as a long-term fix, because it will be overwritten by updates. Please use a template/content override for now if you want non-clickable titles for guests, and keep core files unchanged.

We will review adding a configurable option in jDownloads (for example: "show protected links to guests: yes/no") so both workflows are supported without custom core edits.

If you want, I can give you a clean override snippet for the exact {jd_file ...} content-plugin output path you are using.

Hi,
thanks for the report.

Before we can suggest a reliable fix, please provide exact technical details first:
- exact Joomla version (full number)
- exact jDownloads version (full number)
- active jDownloads layout name (and whether it is core or template override)
- link type used in the file record (external file, mirror 1/2, direct/summary mode)
- screenshot of the broken frontend output (desktop + mobile)
- relevant log/error output, if available

Without these details, we cannot diagnose the layout/rendering and counter behavior safely.

Thank you for your feedback. Before we can make any specific recommendations, we'd first need the exact version details:

- Joomla version
- jDownloads version
- PHP version
- MySQL/MariaDB version
- exact error message (including the full trace) and the affected file/path

Without this information, it is not possible to make a reliable diagnosis.

Hi Lina,
thank you for bringing this to our attention.

We are already working on this router/SEF issue. It is important to us to find a solution that resolves the error without changing existing URLs or rendering old links invalid. As soon as we have a reliable, backwards-compatible implementation, we will post an update here.

Hi Lina,
thank you for your findings.

That means your problem is finally sorted.

There shouldn't be any tick boxes in the 'My Downloads' view at all, as they're unnecessary there.  ;)

Hi Arno,

I tested the new 4.1.6 pre-release in my local environment:
  • Joomla 6.1.2
  • PHP 8.5.5 (PHP-FPM)
  • Apache 2.4.66

Category view

I tested both:
  • Compact Files Layout with Checkboxes v3.9
  • Standard Bootstrap 5 Files Layout – Minimal Compact with Checkboxes v4.1

In both layouts the fix works correctly:
  • "Select all" selects all file checkboxes.
  • Clicking again unselects all.
  • Individual checkboxes work correctly.
  • No JavaScript errors appear in the browser console.

My Downloads view

I also created menu items for List my Downloads and List All Downloads.

Both views display the download list correctly, but they do not display a "Select all files" checkbox, nor do they provide a menu option to select a checkbox layout. Therefore I could not test the new "Select all" functionality in those views.

I also confirmed that my Joomla installation does not contain any jDownloads template overrides.

Best regards,
Lina

Hello Colin
Thank you for your reply.

I have but it is an old Joomla version that I do not wish to use anymore.

I paid a company to update the site. They did good, but do not know about jdownloads

How could I go about making this work ?
Thank you
