thank you for the answer.

When using the command {jd_file file==1}, is it possible to download the file directly with the download button without navigating to a different page?

thank you

Hi
There are various config settings in jD that control what happens .  Please look at
http://www.jdownloads.net/documentations/item/download-actions-direct-via-summary-page-or-via-download-details
Which you may find useful

that was very helpfull. thank you.
configuration worked fine.

I have another issue that you may help me.
When I click the download button, the download starts directly as I wanted.
But when the file is PDF or JPG it views the file in a new windows instead of downloading it.
for other types of files, like TXT or Zip, it downloads directly.
Is there a way to avoid this preview of some type of files?

thank you

Try this option in configuration tab: Downloads (see pic)

hello,
is there a way to sort files?
i use the command {jd_file category==186} to display all files in a category.
but I think it shows the files with ID order.
is there a way to sort alphabeticaly?

thank you
