Bugs! / Error after upgrading to 4.1.1...

Last post by pubdown - 31.03.2026 14:47:10

Hello,

I got the below error message after upgrading to 4.1.1.
I checked from FTP and Library path /modules/mod_jdownloads_related/src/Helper/JDownloadsRelatedHelper.php is there.
What can I do?

Thank you very much for your assistance!

I have now opted for a different solution:

I made an override of the bootstrap.min.css file in /media/vendor/bootstrap/css/ and then switched all jDownload layouts from Standard Layout 3.9 to Standard Bootstrap 5. This eliminates the need for the correction in the HtmlView.php file.

Check the attached pics.

Layout okay:


Layout broken:


It affects only the jDownloads search page.

Hi patbe60,
thank you very much for the report.

Could you please describe a little more precisely what you mean by "the whole layout is broken"?

For example:
- does it affect only the jDownloads search page?
- is it mainly the search form/results styling that looks wrong?
- or are other template areas such as columns, modules or menus affected too?

If possible, please also add a screenshot.
That would help a lot to see whether this is a general Bootstrap conflict or a more specific search page styling issue.

When I use the search function of jdownloads the whole layout of my site is broken.
I finally found the code snippet in

components/com_jdownloads/src/View/Search/HtmlView.php

in line 75:

JDHelper::loadRequiredBootstrapAssets($document, true);

When I uncomment this line everything looks fine again.

J 5.4.3
JDownloads 4.1.1

Bugs! / Re: Some installation Strings ...

Last post by Arno - 28.03.2026 15:16:28

Hi Peter,
You're right, sorry. Something went wrong. It's just not ideal when I are working on two versions at the same time.

But it's definitely fixed in the next version. 

Edit:
Fixed in v4.1.2.

Hi Peter.
Thank you very much for reporting this. It has been fixed in v4.1.1.

Hello Arno,

Also in version 4.1.1 the same strings do not have a value when updating from 4.0.52 --> 4.1.1. So it is not solved.
May be the strings have to be added in the .sys.ini language files because they are displayed during installation?
When updating 4.1.0 --> 4.1.1 these strings are not displayed.

Regards,
Peter

General / Re: Installing Jdownloads 4.1

Thanks for reporting this.
This kind of error usually points to leftover old jDownloads files from an earlier installation or update attempt.

A uninstall/reinstall can work as a workaround, but it is not ideal because existing jDownloads configuration such as component settings, module assignments or plugin settings may be lost.

So the safer recommendation is:
make a backup first, restore the site to a clean pre-update state if needed, and then retry the update with the corrected 4.1.1 package on that clean copy.

We have also hardened the installer code further for the next build.

General / Installing Jdownloads 4.1

Last post by Spark640 - 27.03.2026 10:43:38

Just in case anyone has the same issue when updating from the previous version to 4.1.
On my staging site I went for a straight update but then got an error

    0 Call to undefined method Joomla\Database\Mysqli\MysqliDriver::getErrorNum()

Which means Joomla is still trying to use the old database method, likely some left over files. Fixed by uninstalling Jdownloads (select 'no' when asked about files, images, etc) and then reinstalling

Bugs! / Data too long for column 'titl...

Last post by musicasampler - 26.03.2026 21:47:54

I just installed jDownloads for Joomla! 5 & 6. I am using Joomla 5.4.3, and this warning appeared instantly in a yellow banner:
(Data too long for column 'title' at row 1)
Although the installation was successful, that warning simply caught my attention.
