All package table has the search feature and you can also use WPDM Search widget. Directory Add-on just extends the feature and has various ways to show, search, filter downloads. Ultimately it’s your choice if you want to buy it or not. I just showed a different option for you as you didn’t like the all packages table search.
Ok, I don’t think the customers understand we shall click the link a the right… Is there a way to make (in my chase TEST) download directly? Or REMOVE the link so it’s only the link at the right that i clickable??
I’m now familiar with php, but if I change the table template, can I do it right here ../download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php ??
It will not be overwritten when updating?
I saw your category base and package base was the same?
There is a quate above. “Caution: Use unique word for each url base. Also, don’t create any page or post with the same slug you used for WPDM URL Bases below.”
And yes, the user can download from that page not going the package details page from this page. Here is the button for direct download.
But if the user can see details page by clicking on the title. You can modify that too from all downloads table template here ../download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php
You can just modify the existing template file and puts it in your theme folder/tpls. The filename for the shortcode is wpdm-all-downloads.php, you can find it in plugins/download-manager/tpls.
I had to restore our website after updating this plugin as all document downloads disappeared. Please can you advise how to update while avoiding a recurrence of this.
Maybe the package was accessible to all visitors when those downloads were served. If you see any recent entry check the package setting for access rules and let me know.
Hi,
I cannot find any help in setting up Social Settings. I want to be able to share downloads using Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter especially but no explanation of what to do.
But the package view in category archive page in controlled by your theme. You can partially control this from Downloads Settings Frontend Category Page Options panel.
[wpdm_category id="Category Slug(s)" operator="IN" title="Custom Title Here or 1" desc="Custom Description or 1" toolbar="1" paging="1" order_by="field name" order="asc or desc" item_per_page="10" template="template name or ID" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1]
Follow the shortcode. In order_by you can set various values like: order_by: field name to sort packages, you can sort by title, download_count, create_date, modified ( update date ) or id, it’s an optional parameter, if you skip this parameter “id” will be taken as default.
okay but i think you are missing what i want to do. I just want to capture name and email address and load the page with the different versions. Email lock will not load the page and make the download button active, it just emails them or downloads ALL The documents. I need the page to load so they can choose what version they want to actually download.
Set allow access to ‘All Visitors’ in your package settings to allow downloads without registration. You will find the package settings meta box in edit package screen.
This post is part of the Downloads category ‘Persoonlijke bestanden’ which we’ve declared in the category settings for your plugin should not be accessible to ‘all visitors’ and subsequently only to the roles ‘subscriber’ and up. Even though the page/download I linked to is only part of this category and no other, it is still accessible.
I’m guessing the accessiblity setting is being overridden by a post-specific setting which I cannot update in bulk, but I’m not sure and that wouldn’t be a sollution, since it’s not updatable in bulk.
I’ve tried to restrict access to all downloads in a certain category. I’ve done so because this appears to be the only way to restrict access to a whole bunch of downloads in on bulk action.
However, it seems that, whatever I say about the restricted access for posts under a certain category, they all remain visible for all visitors. Can you help me figure out why this is, or how I can best restrict access in bulk actions?
