Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

Prior to updating to version 3, people could activate a file from the front end uploader.

I feel like I am missing something, but I can not find out how to activate a file from the front of the website.
The only option I can find is to go to the backend of the website and activate the files every time after the fact.

Could someone please let me know what I am missing,

Thanks,
Brady

Brady,
Yes you can Publish a Download from the Tront End.
Please go to Users Groups Settings and select the  UG you allow to upload - what I refer to as the 'uploader' UG or groups
In the Group Creation/Editting Settings there is a field near the top called   'Publish new Downloads' which needs to be ticked.

It was the same in the 2.5 series but once set often .....
