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.

Hello Arno,

I am very happy with using JDownloads, many thanks for the great job you have done !
The only lack of features is related to the Search plugin, and to the Custom fields.
In fact, as far as I know, it is not possible to filter search results according to the custom fields...
And I didn't find a way to make a menu link which would show the Downloads filtered according to a custom field.
Do you think it would be possible to integrate these features to a future revision of JD ?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
Etienne

PS : Is it possible to change the layout of the Joomla Search Results, so that the Downloads are easier to read ?

Hi Etienne,
the jDownloads search plugin has only rudimental search functions.
When you need more you should use the internal search function from jDownloads. Here it is also possible to create a special menu item for it (with additional options).
Best Regards / Gruß
Arno

Hi Arno,

I have tried to configure JD internal search to make a search on a custom field.
But I didn't found the way to do it.
I would like to change the layout of search results, so that there is 1 result / line.
And add an image of the file extension in front of the search result.
How can I do that ?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
Etienne
