Hi Arno,

Thanks for your response. This helps me to better understand the frustrations at the evolution of Joomla from the developer's perspective. This obsession with constant change in our society is not always for the good.

When I mentioned February, I was referring to one of the responses at the beginning of this thread.

In any case, thanks for your work. I hope we can see its fruit soon!

Hi Jazzbird,
I have now published a pre-beta in our forum area for the test team.
I have assigned you to the test team so that you can access it.

Have fun testing. Please report bugs in the corresponding Bugs! board. Thank you. 

Hi Arno,

Great, thanks!

What is the best installation procedure? I have the previous version of jDownloads on a newly upgraded Joomla 4 site. Can I just install the beta version over the previous version? Will it still access all of my previous downloadable files? Or do I need to first uninstall the current version and install the new version from scratch?

Andre

Hi Andre,
please watch the update video tutorial. You can find it right under the download link for the test version in the Testteam forum.
No prior uninstallation is necessary. Simply install if Joomla 4 is already running successfully.
And yes, all prior data exist still.

Ok, thanks. My first attempt at installing failed. See the Bugs! thread.

Hi
Please see
https://www.jdownloads.com/forum/index.php?topic=13728.msg48698#msg48698
This has a pre-beta test - it is not suitable for production yet as there are several challenges.
If you want to join the testing group then please send a PM to Arno requesting access.

Colin

Yes, thanks. I've already joined the testing team and am reporting on that thread!
