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.

Content plugin allow for alias

It would be nice if the content plugin would allow for alias. For example, in addition to {jd_file file==25} it could also be something like {jd_file file==decorative-products}. The reason is that I have a whole list of items on many pages and in the backend the listings are just numbers and I do not remember which is which. I have to go to the frontend to find the position of the item in the list and match it with the list in the backend in order to change or rearrange the items.

I love JDownloads, this suggestion would just make things a little easier. Thank you for your consideration.

currently it is already possible to add extra text in the tag as editor info for example:
{jd_file file==25 decorative-products}

This way the links is not depending on the alias.

@Arno Thank you for the consideration

@Tazzios Thank you for the tip! I was not aware of that feature. Must have missed it in the documentation.

Hi
The 'extra text' was not in the documentation - but it is now!!!  Use with care as it is still not officially supported.
