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.

Hi JDownloads Team,

I am wondering that can it be possible to use SVG files as symbol? or place a field for determining font awesome icons?
Actually SVG are more modern to use, because they can be styled with the css in the frontend.
I put my svg icons in the mywebsite.com/images/jdownloads/catimages/ directory, but they don't appear in the Category Symbol dropdown.

I think it would be wonderful to give the authority to select box to pick from SVG files too.
Best Regards,
Mehdi Sabbagh

Hi
jDownloads alresdy supports SVG files in Downloads.  Create a Download just as you would normally.  When the Download is shown in either the Front end or Backend it will have  an SVG symbol as illustrated in the attached images.
For the images I selected in options - Pictures and Buttons tab in Option 'Select File Type Icon Set' the Modern Icon set 1.
If you want to upload your own symbol let me know.

PS you can also select symbols for categories

Another SVG logo as a PNG file which I uploaded to jDownloads into the Original File Set at
images/jdownloads/fileimages on my testsite. To select goto Options - 'Pictures and Buttons' tab and in option 'Select File Type Icon Set' use the pull down to select 'Original Icon Set'.  Any Download with a file that has extension .svg will then use that icon.
