Last post by Arno - 15.05.2026 09:14:45Hi Lina,
Unfortunately, the bug hasn't been fully fixed yet. Sorry about that. So you don't need to test the version I sent you. I'll send you a new one today.

Last post by Arno - 14.05.2026 00:02:33Du könntest im aktivierten Kategorie Layout den Platzhalter {cat_description} löschen.
Das sollte ausreichen.
Allerdings wird dann in keiner (single) Kategorieansicht mehr die Beschreibung angezeigt.

General / Re: Migrating jDownloads with...
Last post by Arno - 13.05.2026 19:09:35Hi,
which versions did you test it with?
I'm aware of several jDownloads installations handling similar volumes of data. The latest jDownloads versions have also introduced many improvements in terms of speed (including when generating thumbnails, by the way).
However, I imagine updating directly from Joomla 3 to Joomla 5 would be very difficult. More detailed information about your planned approach would therefore be helpful.
Strictly speaking, all components would need to be reinstalled in a fresh Joomla 5 environment.
(By the way, your post was published without a meaningful title and in the wrong category. I've corrected this.)

General / Migrating jDownloads with 40,...
Last post by emailautopsy - 13.05.2026 18:22:10Hi everyone,
I'm currently migrating a large Joomla 3 website to Joomla 5 and considering whether to continue using jDownloads or move to another document management extension.
Here's the complicated part:
Around 40,000 downloadable files
Deep category structure (6+ levels)
Multi-language support
External storage mounted through symbolic links
Custom ACL rules per user group
Need for automatic file indexing through cron jobs
Some files generated dynamically by another extension
Existing URLs must remain unchanged for SEO reasons
I already tested the importer and basic migration, but performance becomes inconsistent once the file count grows. Caching helps a bit, though rebuilding categories and generating thumbnails still takes a very long time.
My questions is:
Has anyone successfully handled a jDownloads setup at this scale on Joomla 5?

Last post by Arno - 13.05.2026 13:29:43Hi Lina,
thank you for reporting this and for the helpful workaround.
We were able to reproduce the problem and found two issues in the legacy checkbox download flow. Both have now been fixed for the upcoming 4.1.4 version.
I will send you a PM with a 4.1.4 test package so you can check whether both the Select all function and the download link now work correctly in your setup.

mach mal eine Skizze/Screenshot falls ich dich falsch verstanden habe.
Du kannst aber in den Optionen die Darstellung der Beschreibung deaktivieren. Siehe pic.
