Here can you get help for jDownloads!
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.

Last post by ColinM - 01.06.2025 15:40:31Hi
In the admin iN Components click on jDownloads. Then scroll down a bit and you will see User Groups Settings - so click on it. This will show a list of all of your user groups. If the users who can upload from the front end are is usergroup 'Registered' then click on Registered.
Next select the 'Group Creation/Editting Settings'. Scroll dow to find 'Allowed File Types - it is on the right hand side. You can then add the required extensions in that field.

Last post by fstltna - 01.06.2025 15:11:58Quote from: ColinM on 01.06.2025 15:03:04Hi,I don't see that option. Where is it?
I guess you have some users who are allowed to upload from the Front End.
For Frontend users the settings are in the relevant User Group Settings So if they are in say the Registered UG then in the Group Creation/Editting tab you will find an entry 'Allowed File Types' where you need to add the required extension. Note that these settings do not 'cascade' to other user groups, that is each User Group needs modifying separately. This even includes the SuperUser.
Generally I create a Usergroup called uploaderUG and join users to that UG. Note you also have to set View Access for a new user group.

Bugs! / Re: upload area
Last post by fstltna - 01.06.2025 13:16:25Quote from: ColinM on 30.01.2025 17:48:03HiIt is users uploading via the front end. I have user uploads enabled and if they upload say a ZIP file it works fine. But it does not show the new files allowed:
I have had no trouble loading up files with extensions csv and iso from the backend - they are in category Other Files. I was a super user. Is the problem for other users in different user groups?
Please advise
Colin
Any ideas why the other types don't show up? The user in question is in the Publisher user group

Last post by fstltna - 01.06.2025 12:59:22Quote from: ColinM on 01.06.2025 11:54:02HiIm using the latest version I could find: pkg_jcomments_4.0.34.zip. Is that the best one to use? Edit: I looked at that page and the fix was to copy in that 4.1 version of the plugin. Working great now, thx!
Which version of JComments are you using? I ask this because the original version has not been updated to Joomla 4 or 5 as the author has retired.
However the Exstreme organisation has a working version and uses the same database structure so that existing comments are still available.

Last post by fstltna - 01.06.2025 11:42:54When my users try uploading .hpkg files they get a error and it says the file type extension must be: Allowed file extensions: zip, rar, pdf, txt".
In the jdownload setting I have these extensions listed: zip,txt,pdf,doc,docx,ppt,xls,lha,7z,tgz,rar,sit,hqx,dmg,hpkg.
Did I miss where to set it up? I don't see any settings with just those four extensions...
