News:

Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

General / Error cannot create Categories...

Last post by tmyers - 12.03.2025 17:27:05

This is on a virtual Windows 2019 server. I have to rebuild existing site, which is working fine, due to joomla upgrades and php updates. I have the site complete less Jdownloads. I had it kind of working but the single category menu items would only work part of the time and it was very slow to load the pages. so I uninstalled it and reinstalled. I even attempted to go back to 4.0.36. to see if that worked better but I am now stuck here. I cannot publish anything at this point due to this error.

I also get this error when I try to check the download area looks like it is attempting to use the Tabulizer helper file? :

All this works fine on the existing site.

**Downloads Area Check started

Please wait and don't refresh the page or close this window until we are ready!**
**Searching for new Directories**

Hi
I will try to reproduce your 'challenge'.
With external files there are several places they can be located
1. Existing Download
-------------------------------
2. Or select file from root area
------------
3.External File Link and is it on an external web link
-------------------------------------
4. Mirror link-1 and is it on an external web link
-------------------------------------
5. Mirror link-2 and is it on an external web link

Also to some extent the resultant process depends on what operating system you are using on your PC or laptop. Is it Win 10, Win 11, IOS or another?

General / Blank window does not close wi...

Last post by cbaugher - 10.03.2025 02:06:29

I have external files located on archive.org. So I added the archive.org link to the "External File Link" field in JDownloads. For years this worked. Recently it stopped downloading the files when someone selected the download on the frontend. So I selected the "Is the main file on an external web page" and now it works. But now a blank window appears and it does not automatically close when download is finished. Is there any way to eliminate the blank window or have it automatically close?

Thank you for such an awesome component!!

Last post by ColinM - 05.03.2025 12:49:40

Josh,
Could you send a link to one of your sites that is using meta data
My normal procedure to view the meta data is to right click on a page and then click on View Page Source
Thanks

Bugs! / Meta Description will not save...

Last post by josh@thenavycwo - 03.03.2025 18:52:33

Currently running Joomla 5.2.4 and jDownloads 4.0.46.

I'm trying to update the meta description for all of my sites categories, however, none of them will save. The meta keywords update and save without issue. Anyone else seen this or have a fix? Thanks.

Hi
1. When you updated to Joomla 5.2.4.1 did you take a backup before the update?
2. What was your previous version of Joomla?
3. Again when you apdated did you disable the jDownloads System Plugin? And has it been re-enabled?
4. I presume you showed the third site to indicate that the server was working OK. Is that the case?
5. When I click on your first link, the impression is that it displays rubbish but if
you look carefully at the start it is trying to open a PDF document. It should only do a Download
6. Have you created a jDownloads List All Categories menu Item?

I will send you a Private Message in a few minutes - see also which may help to handle Private Messages

how to use Private Messages
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Când ați actualizat la Joomla 5.2.4.1, ați făcut o copie de rezervă înainte de actualizare? Poate este o instalație nouă?
2. Care a fost versiunea dumneavoastră anterioară de Joomla?
3. Din nou, când ați actualizat, ați dezactivat pluginul de sistem jDownloads? Și a fost reactivat?
4. Presupun că ați arătat al treilea site pentru a indica faptul că serverul funcționează OK. Este cazul?
5. Când dau clic pe primul tău link, impresia este că afișează gunoi dar dacă
te uiți cu atenție la începutul în care încearcă să deschidă un document PDF. Ar trebui să facă doar o Descărcare
6. Ați creat un element din meniul jDownloads List All Categorii?
