Hi everyone,

I'd like to ask about something that I'm sure is easy to modify: in the "Latest Downloads" module of jDownloads, I'd like it so that when I click on one of the downloads in the list, it opens in a new window (target="_blank"). If you'd like, please tell me how I can do it myself and I'll try.

Cheers and keep up the good work!

Try this file. Copy it to /modules/mod_jdownloads_latest/tmpl/
and overwrite the old one.

But it is not changed after an update. So you should use an templates overwrite.  ;)

In the loger term I would suggest that this becomes a standard option in the Modules.
So please add to the 'futures' list

Hi @Arno @ColinM

The Latest module is failing again; it's not opening the download in a new browser tab.

I've tried installing the latest version of JDownloads again, but it still doesn't work.

I've also tried replacing the "default.php" file you sent me in the folder: /modules/mod_jdownloads_latest/tmpl/, but it still fails. It opens the download in the same window, and the worst part is that once the download opens, when I go back in the browser, the user has to log in again:-\

Please any solution?

Best Regards,
Pedro

Hi Pedro,
Which version of jDownloads are you currently using?

And which version were you using before, when my customisation was working?

Edit:
Did you follow that advice?

Hi Arno,

I'm using the latest version you recently added.

Yes when you customize work good, but when updated to last version, open links in _blank don't work.

Check the private message I sent you today.
