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.

hello,

I had a problem that was reported to me by a user.
I had a dot in my download path ( /mysite.com/jdownloads )
impossible to download
once I removed the dot ( /mysitecom/jdownloads ) the download worked again.
It would be a good idea to correct this if possible, as sometimes the host creates such a folder by default.

Thanks

Yes the Category code could extend the check on "illegal" characters.  Presently I know it will not accept £ $ % and similar as they are illegal characters for a folder.  But . is acceptable! so it would mean extra code.

Could you perhaps add it as a suggestion.
Thanks
Colin

Hi Serge,
I have now come across your post again after a somewhat longer period of time.

I think you mean a dot in a category name?

With the attached 'Files and Folders' settings it works fine.
Best Regards / Gruß
Arno
