Main Category empty in Back End

[Staak75]

As Super User I created several categories with the parent category filled.
After this I created a user and a seperate group (with Registered as parent) called Data.
This group has every right for the component JDownloads through ACL.
The user can create categories and downloads.
The only problem is when the user creates categories (or modifies) he cannot select the parent category. This fields stays empty.

Anybody an idea if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong.

I'm using Joomla 3.4 wih JDownloads 3.2.31.

Hi
I am not sure I quite understand, so excuse if I have this wrong.  Presumably you are talking about the user doing a create from the front end.  If that is the case the sipmle state is that Categories cannot be created from the front end.  This is not a bug but by design.  Front end users with the appropriate permissions can only create/edit Downloads.  If the user has access to the backend then they can create Categories.  Also if you load a set of directories and files into the jDownloads root directory by say ftp or similar then activating the monitoring will create the relevant categories and downloads.

Hi Colin,

Thanks for the reply.
The problem is not in the front end but the back-end.
Here are two print screens of the problem.
The first shows that there are categories, the second shows that I cannot see them when I create a new categorie as a non super user.

Hi
I thought it was front end. OOps!

Think your problem is a Joomla! Permissions or View Access Level. Noticed all the Access levels were Registered.  Which User Group (UG) does the backend user belong to?
Have you set any Deny permissions?  For example if you set a deny in the Public UG then only the Super User will see things.

For reference when creating the view asa shown in your first pic jD does not concern itself with permissions or view access, but for your second pic they are taken into account.

As well as the current UGs I would also ensure UG also belongs to the Registered UG.
Please let us know how you got on
