    We want to be able to display JUST the values of the the custom fields. No CSS, or goofy tables and styling.

    On a previous post, you indicate there is shortcode that will meet our needs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/custom-field-support-for-wpdm-pro-file-management-plugin/

    Specifically, you write: “you can show any specific custom field using short-code [wpdm_cf custom field name], for example if you just want to show the value for “File Types”, simply use [wpdm_cf File Types] , which will show the value “HTP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PNG”.

    When we use this shortcode per your instructions, it does not work: [wpdm_cf CityName]

    We also tried this shortcode and it does not work: [wpdm_cf City Name]

    When we use this shortcode: [wpdm_acf-CityName] we see a formatted table THAT WE DO NOT WANT.

      Please download the add-on again to get the updated version 1.1.0 , there we have added new template tag [wpdm_acf-GroupName-FieldName] for showing specific field value

    • nurmans

      *product info

    • Shaon
      Jun 8, 2015

      You can show Product Info data in link/page template using template tag [wpdm_acf-ProductInfo] ( the tag mentioned under the box ) or you also can show that putting the php code mentioned there in your theme template.

    In a template, can you hide custom fields that are empty?

    I added a custom field to a link template used in the directory/search add-on. For items that do not have data in this custom field, the custom field’s shortcode displays in search results.

    I want to be able to hide most of the package settings from showing on the Package settings page and the package page.
    That is i want to be able to HIDE the following.
    Version:
    Link Label:
    Download
    Stock Limit:
    Download Limit:
    / user
    Reset Limit for All Users
    View Count:

    Download Count:

    Package Size:

    Allow Access:

    Individual File:
    Don’t Allow Inidividual File Download Allow Inidividual File Download
    Link Template:

    Reset Key

    I don’t want want users to see most of these because it confuses most of them. I just want users to have a straight forward upload process without complicated stuff. And i dont want it also show on the front page/Package Page.
    Can i achieve this with this addon? If not, which addon can i use to achieve this?

    Hey, when I put a TextArea it removes some HTML formatting.
    I’m using those fields into my page template to display blocks of HTML data in a certain way, but it removes the   tag and some other probably too.

    Any workaround?

  • RK

    the “nbsp” tag.

    Hi Simon,

    is this an specific WPDM Add-On to handle integrate the ACF PlugIn in a proper way, or is this the normal ACF PlugIn purcased by you?

    • Shahriar

      This add-on is not the ACF plugin from wordpress.org This is a separate plugin to add custom fields in Download Manager packages.

    Hello,
    we need to add custom fields in email lock request form and we need these fields to show in “Subscribers” page.

    Is it possible with this add-on??

    Thanks in advance

        How to do that? I create a Custom Field Group, but it is now showing on Email Lock settings.

        • Shahjada
          Sep 23, 2020

          To create field group for email lock, you need to create it from quick form menu in wpdm setings. Then select the group when enabling email lock on edit package window.

    Does this addon allow me to add on extra fields to the registration form ?

  • DPSI Partner Relations

    I have a test site where I want to use this addon first to make sure I can get it configured properly before adding it to our live company site. If I activate it on the test site and then deactivate it can I then activate it on our company site?

    Thanks,

    I currently have 2 add-ons activated on my site. Download notifications and Advanced custom fields.
    I have a custom field called cust_no which stores the customer number.

    First question: How do I get that new field to show up on the registration form?

    Second question: How do I show the customer number in the email that the administrator gets once a file has been downloaded?
    Thanks,

    I really need some help with the Email templates. Every time I make a change to the template it changes everything to unrendered HTML. For example instead of something showing as bold it now shows text.

    I have had this issue several time and they have fixed up my site for me, which is much appreciated.

    However, each time they reset the templates I go to make another change and it reverts back to the HTML showing.

    Is it possible to get this fixed so that I can edit the templates as designed without these issues.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Once i created a “Quick form” in settings and selected it in “Additional Fields” in the Email lock protection, where do I found the informations users filled in frontend ? And why can’t I see those fields in the stats export ?

    Thank you

      Hi,
      You can see and export those data from Admin Menu ► Downloads ► Subscribers.

        Hi,
        Thanks for the reply !
        How can I make this entry (Downloads > Subscribers) visible by editors ?

  • DPSI Partner Relations
    Sep 17, 2020

    How do I add one of these fields to the email that is sent through the Download Notifications add-on. We need to show the Customer Number on the email that is sent to our Admins after a customer downloads a file that needs a password.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    • Shahjada

      Use email template tag [#REQUEST_custom_form_field/FIELD_NAME#]

      replace FIELD_NAME with proper field name from custom field settings.

      • DPSI Partner Relations
        Sep 18, 2020

        I understand how that would work inside an email template, however, there is no email template for the email that gets sent to the admin when a user downloads a file.

        Right now I have edited the php in the plugin to add the text that I need. Is it possible to add a custom field to the php?

        Thanks,
        Steve

          Please update the download notification add-on, then you will have the email template to edit. Before this update, please delete the old version first. As, in this update, we have changed the plugin folder name

            Sep 21, 2020

            I have done that and I have seen the new template for the download notifications. I also added the code above however this is what is contained in the email:

            September 21, 2020
            Someone just downloaded an item from your site.
            User and package info:

            Downloader’s Email: steve.lewis@dpsi.com

            Package: PMC 8.1 Setup (x86) – Office 365

            [#REQUEST_custom_form_field/cust_no#]

            Please post here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/forum/download-manager-pro/ and give me your package URL and temporary wp-admin login info to check and set this up there for you.

        I am using wpdm directory add on which allows you to filter package based on category, I was wondering if it is possible to add custom fields an additional filter parameter.
        But i guess it is not possible. Though it would be a nice feature where one can customize wpdm directory addon options with help of the filter(wp) of function.

    Is there documentation on how to add a field to the front-end file upload?

    • Shahjada
      Jul 12, 2021

      The options are simple and self-explanatory. Go to Admin Menu => Downloads => Custom Fields, that area will give your options to create fields / field groups with the front-end upload form.

    Hi, we have the Advanced Custom Fields and would like to add more fields to the registration form. But when we create a Custom Field and then insert the ShortCode into the page, only the ShortCode is displayed as text. What are we doing wrong?
