How to add JComments to JDownloads

[Ettore]

Hi!
I need to add JComments to JDownloads.

This is my Joomla 5.3.3 website URL:
https://www.tschai.it/2025/

At this moment there is one downloadable file only:
https://www.tschai.it/2025/jdownloads-list-all-categories.html?view=category&catid=11

Of course I have used your instructions:
https://www.jdownloads.net/?view=article&id=144:enabling-comments-on-downloads-with-jcomments&catid=35

I have a question about these instructions.

In the section "Show Comments in Download view" I have duplicated and edited the "Compact Files Layout v3.9" and renamed it as: "Compact Files Layout v3.9 for Comments".

Then I need to remove the [Download] button changing {url_download} to *.....or {*} ?.

Where can I find the code that I need to change to remove the [Download] button?

Thank-You.

Ettore

I have edited the article enabling comments
Hopefully this will help

Hi
You need to change {url_download} to {*}
I have updated the documentation which hopefully makes things clearer.
Click on your new Download layout and ensure the Main Area tab is selected - this is the default.
This shows the layout code
For that particular layout it is in the 6th line were you will find {url_download} so make it look like {*}
The editted line is
<div class="jd_download_url jd_download_url_position" style="">{*}</div>
After making the changes remember to Save & Close

First of all THANK-YOU.

Unfotunately my problem is not solved: I can't show the comments for JDownloads.

Question: can you write the link for the documentation page that you have recently updated?

For your information this is the code that I have in:

Components > JDownloads > Layouts > Downloads (IN THE BLUE TOP MENU BAR) > "Compact Files Layout v3.9 for Comments" > Main Area tab > Main Layout

----------------------------------------

{files_title_begin}<div class="jd_files_title39" style="">{files_title_text}</div><!-- download title  -->{files_title_end}
<div class="{featured_class}" style="width: 100%;">
<!-- download main  -->
<!-- download layout with download buttons compact-->
     <div class="jd_left" style="">{file_pic} {file_title} {release} {pic_is_new}{pic_is_hot}{pic_is_updated}{sum_jcomments}</div>
     <div class="jd_download_url jd_download_url_position" style="">{*}</div>
     <div class="jd_rating" style="">{rating}</div>
     <div class="jd_featured_pic" style="text-align:center; float:right; margin:0 10px;">{featured_pic}</div>
    <div class="jd_clear">
      <div class= "jd_tags39 jd_associations">{tags}{show_association}</div>
    </div>
</div>

Thanks again.
