Hi, we are using All Packages shortcode. It is showing a “Download” link as it should.
But we would like to change it to a “View” or “Open file” link instead, that opens the file in a new window or tab. So people either can just look at the PDF and then close it, or if they wish to they can download it themself (save pdf file).
I saw in another thread your suggestion to “Open PDF in new tab”: In case of public download you can edit link and page template, use [link_label] instead of [download_link]
Can we use the same solution with All Packages?
What will happen with the download counter? Will it count files that are opened in a new window, just as if they were downloaded?
In detail:
if you look at this page http://www.bastec.se/products/operatorspanel/ It is showing a “Download” link (“Ladda ner” in swedish) as it should. I would like to change “Ladda ner”/Download to View/Open file. But when they click on a file NAME they should still get linked to the file SINGLE page with more info. And on a SINGLE page like http://www.bastec.se/download/bas2-op-t440-operatorspanel-datablad/ there could still be a normal Download link, or will that change to if we change it on the first page?

Hello there,
I am using the Archive Addon and I have problems with z-index at the right side of category buttons, as you can see at the screenshot.
The url is Vasi-Thematwn
I couldnt solve it by my own…. ๐
However here is the link template code you need to use for 3 cols layout for archive page:
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="media">
<a class="pull-left" href="[page_url]">
[thumb_60x60]
</a>
<div class="media-body">
<h4 class="media-heading" style="padding-top: 0px;border:0px;margin: 0px;height: 20px;overflow: hidden">[page_link]</h4>
<i style="margin: 4px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="fa fa-th-large"></i> [file_size]<Br/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel-footer"><div class="pull-left" style="line-height: 30px;"><i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;" class="icon icon-download-alt"></i> [download_count] downloads</div> <div class="pull-right">[download_link]</div><div style="clear: both"></div></div>
</div>
</div>
OK so one of the clients I am working has a specific need for a page layout functionality and I am wondering if and how this is possible….
1) Automatic large thumbnail creation of PDF file
2) Archive Page to display latest documents uploaded only, every time an upload is made 5 PDF documents are uploaded: Salinity, Water Quality, Weather, Habitat, Biology, Report see what they are doing currently: http://saveourlake.org/coastal-hydromap.php
Basically they are manually creating jpg thumbnails and posting the pics and links manually …
I’d like to figure out how to automate this using wp-download manger
Then one additionally layout lists the archive of said items in a table: http://saveourlake.org/coastal-hydromap-archives.php
Initially i was thinking of setting this up as a category (Hydrocostal water maps) with children (Salinity, Water Quality, Weather, Habitat, Biology, Report) That way i could detect the most current of each and create a table
Anyhow if you think there is a better way to do this let me know and if anyone has seen how to do the auto large jpg thumbnail creation of PDF documents for wp download manager do please let me know!
probably cURL is not working properly or your server firewall is blocking wpdownloadmamager.com while your site trying to access to get add-on list, however that will not cause any functional issue in using the plugin.
Personalized url means, you are here getting url for each package like regular posts, additional you can change url base slug from download manager settings. But for each file’s download url you need to enable individual file download from package settings in edit package window. And If you upload files using download manager uploaded with attach file metabox, users will not be able to download or access file directly, as download-manager-files
dir is http access protected.
You have said “Ok, I can add a button there, please give me the URL”
what you ment?
I tried adding [rating_stars] to the link templates but the stars are not showing.
The url is http://dev.expresspcb.com/community-library/
in that case, with login form url, you need to user a additional parameter “redirect_to=redirect-url”
first screenshot, looks like a css conflict with another plugin, for 2nd, please give me the url where you using archive page short-code and re-activate temporary wp-admin login info to check, btw, we have released a v2.6.0 of archive page add-on, please update your copy.
Ops I got confused, I though you were also using our membership add-on, so may you please explain how you wanted it here, please show me with example url
Ok, I can add a button there, please give me the URL
if you want only single icon for all post, you can create a link template in hard code icon html ( for example <img src=”icon-url-here” /> ) and other link template code to short additional package info ( doc: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/ ) .
Yes, there are 3 tabs “Upload”, “Browser” , “URL” in attach file metabox, use “URL” to add URL
Shaon, thanks.
1# So I’ve uploaded a file with your customized CSV import. It saying : File-not-found
After almost 3 months the auto-import is finally working. But somehow It’s still isn’t possible to just download a uploaded file?
2# I just want a ‘Download button’ like the one on this page: http://computer-info.nl/downloadsss/a4-pb-2/.
So because something is remotetly uploaded, I can’t use [download_link]?
3# That means I have to add a div id to the [file_list] code, edit the CSS and make it look like a simple download button. Alot of work don’t you think?
4# I’ve noticed something strange. I’ve given the file within the CSV file the following name a4test.pdf. I placed it within the folder /files/ like you told me to. But WPDM creates this download-error: /public_html/wp-content/files/files/a4test.pdf: No such file or directory. It places an extra /files/ within the url. No wonder he can’t find the file, because /files/files/ doesn’t exist.
I’m still patient, but you have to be honest. 3 months later and I still cannot implement the website for a client, because the auto-import / download doesn’t work? Something that should have taking you 5 hours, you told me.
Why download count for Allow Inidividual File Download not work if download file is link add from Insert URL?
It not count when i try to click download?
Hi there- I’m hoping to extend some functionality here in the basic file list and provide a direct link to “View” the file (in the case of PDFs, so the browser PDFViewer can simply open the doc) in addition to the download button. Where in the $files object/array is the pure URL to the file? I’ve found the full file list in the object but for some reason cannot seem to find the index that is used to hit a specific file.
Any help would be appreciated!
#1. please give me your URL to check
#2. Using download link in same page only will be possible if all packages under accordion are public and that also will require to edit code in accordion add-on. Need to edit file wp-content/plugins/wpdm-accordion/wpdm-accordion.php
#3. It may work, but we didn’t test it yet.
#5. Sorry no.
#6. The text is coming from a free add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-extended-short-codes/ , but it is not an ad, it is just a placeholder text, if you activate bootstrap from wpdm settings it will be gone.
Hi,
I have just launched a new website and I purchased WPDM Pro and the All Add Ons Pack. Everything that I have used so far has been amazing and has made a huge difference to my site. The collection of interconnected plugins that you have developed is fantastic. Great work.
I have a few questions.
1. I am getting an error message when I type anything into the search box in the “All Packages” section saying that the URI is too Large even if it is only a word like “agm”. I have over 300 files so this this is an important bit of functionality for me to get working.
2. I am using Accordion to display the files. I want users to download the file from within the Accordion rather than be sent to the download file page. I was able to edit the templates to achieve this however as Accordion does not use a template so can you let me know where I can edit the lay out of the Accordion. I also want to replace the upload date with the version number of the file.
3. You pointed another user in the forum to a plugin “Taxonomy Order” to order the download categories. This works really well with your plugin. I am just wondering if another plugin from the same provider “Post Types Order” would enable me to order the display download packages?
5. Is there any way to export a file listing with short code, url, etc out to csv?
6. I purchased the pro package which is not meant to have any advertising for WPDM however the following code is inserted into every page of my site:-
<h4 class=”modal-title”>WordPress Download Manager</h4>
</div>
<div class=”modal-body” id=’wpdm-modal-body’>
<p>WordPress Download Manager – Best Download Management Plugin</p>
</div>
I never installed the free version. I have uninstalled and re-installed the plugin and it still shows up. (this I am not so happy about!) Can you advise re removal.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Micheal
Hi
I want to show related files or Similar files after package details check following url http://caknowledge.in/download/download-summary-of-amendments-to-companies-act-2013/ i want to show related files after “download now button”. Please let me How to Show Related Files after Package Details. if any short code please let me so i can add in templets.
Yes, you can do it using CSV, but add the URL under “files” column. sourceUrl is deprecated.
About the PHP settings , sorry, but I’m not very sure about that, server guys can tell it better ๐
if you add from URL and use multiple url, you can only use individual download. Because, for full package download from multi-file pack, it needs to create zip file from attached files, which required to keep file in same server.
Hi WPDM Team,
I notice that when a URL is added instead of attaching the file, it takes one to the download URL instead of forcing download…
How can I force download of MP3 files instead of it opening in the browser?
Yes, you need to create a link template without [page_link] tag. You may use following code too:
<div class="media">
<a class="pull-left" href="[page_url]">
[icon]
</a>
<div class="media-body">
<h4 class="media-heading" style="padding-top: 0px;border:0px;margin: 0px;">[title]</h4>
[download_link] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="icon icon-th-large"></i> [file_size] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="icon icon-download-alt"></i> [download_count] downloads
</div>
</div>
Anyhow here is the docs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
Login info is not working, however short-code [slideshare id=32615157&doc=drvalya-140322141806-phpapp02]
may not working in wpdm desc, but your can use the embed code directly.
For slide share url , may you please try disabling other plugins? As you see here http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/wp-admin/post.php?post=9566&action=edit ( login: demo / demo ) , no problem in adding slider share link
