General / Re: Download structure for use...
Last post by lichti - 17.05.2026 10:28:06Dear Arno,
thanks a lot for testing and feedback.
I will start from scratch by resetting the categories and download permissions.
It seems, that the manual does not contain the screenshots any more:
https://www.jdownloads.net/documentation?view=article&id=250:an-initial-view-of-permissions&catid=32
Another Problem:
The message "Only registered and logged in users can download files from this category" does no longer appear for not allowed downloads.
This is independent of the used layout. ( I use Standard Bootstrap 5 Downloads Layout – Minimal und kompakt v4.1)
Best regards
Ralf

Bugs! / 6 Compatibility: Unclosed divs...
Last post by musicasampler - 17.05.2026 09:10:34Hello Arno,
I hope you are doing well.
I want to report a layout bug in the latest version of jDownloads running on Joomla 6 with the native Cassiopeia template.
The issue happens exclusively on the main "Category Overview" menu (the index page of the component). It seems there is an unclosed HTML tag (like a missing or misplaced </div>) or a conflict with older Bootstrap grid classes inside the PHP view of this specific layout.
Because of this, the main container breaks the CSS Grid of Cassiopeia. As a result, any modules assigned to the "sidebar-right" position (such as the User Menu) are completely displaced, broken vertically, and pushed to the top-left of the page, rendering inside a tiny dead zone of the component area.
Interestingly, this bug ONLY happens in the Categories Overview page. In other views like "Add download" (Aportar) or "User uploads" (Mis Aportes), the sidebar-right layout works absolutely perfect.
I wanted to attach a screenshot directly to this post, but the "Attach" option seems to be disabled in this board. Instead, I have uploaded the image to an external server so you can see the issue:
Thank you so much for your hard work adapting jDownloads for Joomla 6!
Best regards,

Last post by Arno - 16.05.2026 21:29:03We tested this scenario again with a clean and very simple setup so that it can be reproduced step by step.
Test setup used:
1. Joomla user groups:
Registered
Product 1 as child of Registered
Product 2 as child of Registered
2. Joomla access levels:
Access Product 1 containing only Product 1
Access Product 2 containing only Product 2
3. Test users:
user_none = Registered only
user_p1 = Registered + Product 1
user_p2 = Registered + Product 2
user_both = Registered + Product 1 + Product 2
4. jDownloads structure:
Category Product 1
Category Product 2
5. Each category contained two test files.
6. Category visibility was left public so that the category names remained visible.
7. File access was set on file level:
Files in Product 1 = Access Product 1
Files in Product 2 = Access Product 2
8. No extra complications were used:
no password
no license confirmation
no captcha
no additional single-user assignments in jDownloads
Observed result:
- user_none could not download files from Product 1 or Product 2
- user_p1 could only download files from Product 1
- user_p2 could only download files from Product 2
- user_both could download files from both categories
In our test, the category list and the download permissions behaved correctly and we could not reproduce a general bug in this basic multi-group scenario.
So at the moment it looks more like a setup-specific issue than a general jDownloads problem.
To check your case properly, please compare your configuration against the exact setup above and, if possible, provide:
- screenshots of your Joomla user groups
- screenshots of your Joomla access levels
- screenshots of the category access settings
- screenshots of the file access settings
- the category layout you are using
- whether you are using any template overrides
- whether you also use additional jDownloads-specific user assignments besides normal Joomla ACL
Test setup used:
1. Joomla user groups:
Registered
Product 1 as child of Registered
Product 2 as child of Registered
2. Joomla access levels:
Access Product 1 containing only Product 1
Access Product 2 containing only Product 2
3. Test users:
user_none = Registered only
user_p1 = Registered + Product 1
user_p2 = Registered + Product 2
user_both = Registered + Product 1 + Product 2

Last post by lichti - 16.05.2026 19:14:07Hi Arno,
thanks for your feedback.
I can set the download rights for users with one product.
However I do not manage to allow a user the download of two or more products.
In addition since version 4.1.4 (or even earlier) the category list does no longer inform a user when he has no permission to download. All list entries have a download button. If a user has permission he can download and otherwise a new page opens with the information, that he has no download permission.
Best regards
Ralf

I've already tried the new version and I don't think it's working without using the code in Use After Layout. The "Select all files" button doesn't select any files.
Either you don't have the latest version installed, or you should clear your browser cache and try again.
You're also welcome to see it working successfully for yourself on
the demo installation. See pics.

General / Re: Kategorie-Beschreibung nur...
Last post by Arno - 15.05.2026 17:30:14Da wüsste ich aktuell keine Lösung. Eine gesonderte Einstellung für jede Kategorie gibt es halt nicht. Aber vielleicht kannst du es ja anders lösen, indem du es halt nicht als Kategorie Beschreibung machst?

Last post by Arno - 15.05.2026 17:25:37Hi Lina,
I sent you that version as an attachment to a private message. Not here in this thread.
But I've already released that version in the meantime, so you can install it in the usual way.

I cannot see any attachment or download link for version 4.1.4 in the message.
Could you please send the package or the download link?
Thanks.
