jDownloads 4.x / Re: Layout der Zusammenfassung

Last post by ColinM - 14.02.2026 13:41:50

Ulli
Dazu muss eine Kopie des bestehenden Zusammenfassungs-Layouts erstellt werden, das ich der Einfachheit halber wie folgt nenne:

Standard-Zusammenfassungs-Layout B v3.9 Beachten Sie das B im Titel
Wenn Sie das bestehende Zusammenfassungs-Layout ändern, kann es bei einem zukünftigen Update überschrieben werden!

Dieses neue Layout muss Zeilen wie die folgenden enthalten:

<div class="jd_clear"></div>

<div class="jd_download_description" style="">{description}</div>

General / Re: Single User download

Last post by junsve - 14.02.2026 12:43:30

Hi. I have difficulties understanding.
How is a separate user group "better"?
The documentation assumes I make special groups for JDownloads but I prefer to use existing groups.
Joomla has very good User Access Groups and my users are already in Registered and Special and adding more groups would complicate settings in Joomla and other extensions. I would like to stick to thoose Joomla default UG.
It's a simple member organisation where we have general documents available for all end membership documents available to single members.
How can I configure this? Should be straight forward but doesn't work for me as the Single user only can view and not download. Where is this controlled?

Managers and Publishers should have access to all, Registered access to specific Category with permission to view and download.
Single Users should have access to view and download.
There is no need for Registered or Single users to upload files, this is only done by admistrators (Special).

Please help
/Sven

P.S: Happy Valentine

Bugs! / Re: Content Plugin Button Brok...

Hi,

...the same behaviour seen by all the other editor-xtd plugins that use pagination, which is a Joomla bug in J!5.4.2

Thanks for the hint. I wasn't aware of that. Has this fix been implemented in the meantime?

I must apologise for not having been able to address this issue yet. The work on the new version 4.1 was very extensive and took up all my time. However, the beta was finally released today (for the test team) and I will probably start a public beta phase in a few days. 

I have just tested it again with the new version and Joomla 6.0.2 unfortunately the problem still exists. I will therefore try to fix it today. I will get back to you.

Hi Ulli,
es werden im Standard-Layout nur die wichtigsten Felder angezeigt, denn wenn du ein Layout mit Checkboxen aktivierst, können alle Downloads einer Seite (oder nur einige) zum Herunterladen markiert sein. Deshalb die Listenform.

Aber ich schaue es mir nachher mal an.

Hi
The setup is better if you create a new user group rather than use an existing UG like Registered.  There are a some articles that might help.

They are all in the Access Conrols and User Group Permissions.

Specific articles
1. Controlled access to Categories and Downloads

2. Detailed Notes on User Group Settings

Thanks Colin. Sorry if I was a bit pushy.
It's already ticked for "Registered", still I get "Category not found" when authorised user (in Registered group) is trying to download. What else should be configured? I.e. the download is visible but not downloadable for the right user.

Hi
The Single user setting is in User Groups Setting - Group Creation/Editting Settings. Select the User Group then Scroll down to the 'tick box' section and tick 'Single User Access'.
Actually it is probably best to create a specific user group

Hi,
wir planen für jDownloads 6 auch eine 'Joomla Web Services (API-Application)'.

For now, you could use a file like the one below (untested!).
Would then need to be copied by you to the /src/Helper directory during plugin installation.
