Cannot declare class JDHelper, because the name is already in use in

[le5]

Just made a installation on my Testserver. Backend works perfect. Added the Default Category View to Frontend and just get following Error:

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: Cannot declare class JDHelper, because the name is already in use in \httpdocs\components\com_jdownloads\helpers\jdownloads.php on line 29. For Testing I use a Windows Server 2016 with IIS 10.0.14393.0 and PHP (tested 7.1 and 7.3).
But I allways get this error. Any Advice?

Hi
Not sure I understand properly!Could you please  explain what you did  with "Added the Default Category View to Frontend" as I do not understand.Normaally I would not expect anything to be 'added' except creating new jD Categories and Downloads

Is this a new install of jD 3.9 or is it an upgrade?Best wishesColin

Dear Colin

• Joomla 3.9.20 existing Site
• First time installation of jDownload 3.9.2
• Created a main categorie, with 2 subcategories attached
• created 1 download and configured it to one of the subcategories
• added menu "List all Categories (Default)"

till here, everything worked perfectly out. just in the front end, when i click on this new menu item, i get the described error.
thx and best regards - pawel

Hi,
very strange! I think not that we can reproduce this error.
But I will try it.
Have you changed any settings in jD? Have you published on this menu page any jD modules? Use you jD plugins?

Dear Arno

• Thx for your reply.
• I found the Problem!


• For evaluation I had an other component joomdownloads installed


• The Plugin of this component uses the same namespace


• uninstalled it and your component works beautiful!


• Thx again to both of you, for looking into it.

best regards
pawel

ps. if you uninstall jdownloads (and keep alle the tables) and reinstall jdownloads you have double layouts (default layouts), which you cant delete. must do it manual in db.

Hi Pawel,
many thanks for this information. 

The Plugin of this component uses the same namespace

You mean it has also a plugin with jdownloads as name?

if you uninstall jdownloads (and keep alle the tables) and reinstall jdownloads you have double layouts (default layouts), which you cant delete. must do it manual in db.

Okay. I will add this as bug report.

no, the component name is joom-download.
But it looks like a plugin uses the same helper class name.
