Hello everyone!
I'm testing the most recent version of JDownloads and wonder if it's possible to change the order of (subcategories) and downloads.

For the moment I chose the multicolumn subcategory layout v3.9 and see

  • info about maincat
  • all subcats in multible columns
  • all downloads of the maincat

But I'd like to have the downloads first:

  • info about maincat
  • all downloads of the maincat
  • all subcats in multible columns

I guess that should be simple, but I can't find the layout to change that.

Thanks for your help!
Chris

Chris,
What you ask is not simple, and is not feasible.  The jD Categories and subcategories contain, amongst other info, the details of where the Downloads are located. Basically it is an inverted tree like structure with the root at the top. If you do not want to see a subcategorie then set its Access level appropriately.  Also it is possible for a Download to be in more than one subcategory.

Hello Colin!
I think my question was misunderstood. I only want to change the frontend order: Show file list before subcategories. Maybe a simple template override?
I can't imagine that the way categories, subcategories and files are displayed can be changed in all details, but the overall layout (order) is untouchable.

Sometimes I just need to back away from my computer, come back some minutes later and have a fresh look.
Of course it was simple:

{files}first, then
{sub_categories}
Now the order is how I need it.

:P

Regards!
Chris
