Search Results for 'all downloads'

Sorry I overlooked this!

We be happy with a raw export of the data that we can manipulate in Excel/CSV format.

Package, filename, username, IP, date << this is all we need for our case. We could sort and filter and count to learn what we want to know about the data.

For an online stats page, we would like to see something very much like “package vs user” but with filtering options.

For example, we would like to see all the downloads for a given month, or week, along with who downloaded them. This could be in a table format or a simple list, as long as we can control the timeframe. That way we would be able to generate a monthly report of “who downloaded what”.

In our case, we know that most of our users will download from a non-logged-in state. So we don’t really care to see IP addresses for all those events, but I suppose it could be helpful if there were a discrepancy — like a bunch of IP addresses downloading a file that should only be available to logged in users.

Something like this would work:

File/Package – download count – list of users – list of IPs

PackageA – 7 – userX, userY, userZ – IP-1, IP-2, !P-3, IP-4

If we could then sort the list by package/filename or download count, we could see our most popular items, or alpha list them all.

Thanks for asking!

Update:

We did a mistake by importing, we used the dsownloadmanager import not the wordpress import function.

But if we import the file with all downloadmanager files I have a few questions about problems which could harm new installation:

• when we import files, what whappens to the downloadmanager ids? What happens when a ID is existing for another page type in the new installation? Or are the downloadmanager ids different to the wordpress core ids?
• what else do we have to move? all .pdfs which are connected to the downloads, but –> do we have to update any permalinks or something else like this?

Maybe you could write us a “roadmap” how to move existing files to the new installation.

Thanks for your help Marc

Hi! Thanks for the response. those square boxes are the files I uploaded into the download manager and categorized. I’ll review and follow the instructions you provided and see where I end up. One thing I do not understand is where to add the short code. Do I create a new page in my site and place the short code in it?

As I dig further, do I need to create a page for each category, and then use the short code to manually add the download link every time I upload a new file?

Or is there a better way to automatically generate a page that looks like your demo pages with all the categories all nicely laid out? If not, does this mean I would create a page and simply add the short code ids for all the desired downloads I want to make public?

I also need to add I’m using the free version, not the pro version, which has add new file, not “add new package”

Thanks!

Hmm… we might be able to use that method I suppose. It would be nice if there was a way to regenerate that key automatically on a daily basis or something so that we don’t have to remember to reset it all the time.

We need a way to track the downloads and a way to revoke access when they stop being a customer. The “multiple passwords” option is almost what we need, but we can’t tell which password was used for each download in the log, so there’s no way to know who it was. Is there any way to create download links that are one-use-only?

Well
I did that
changed my ‘update’ login credentials to the correct ones . clicked save settings and it worked – immediatley
then i clicked ‘check updates’ and it listed my “WordPress Download Manager Special Pack” and it said that need to do an update – so i did.

AND NOW my site is BROKEN
there is no installation the WPDM plugin. ie no listing in ‘installed plugins’ and no folder/directory in ‘wp-content/plugins’
in other words it appears the ‘update’ did an uninstall

so no downloads are available on my site

URGENT help needed to fix this.

Okay, that’s good to know. It does look like some things have changed, and I am curious if we can fix.

We have the files on this site linked out to all our other websites and when the link is clicked (on the other sites) they should be providing a direct download for our customers.

As of now they are linking to the page on this rhino applicators site: http://www.rhinoapplicators.com/download/acid-stain-tds/?wpdmdl=3625

Is there a way to get them to be direct downloads again?

When I publish a new package, the small images on the crypton homepage in the (new downloads and popular downloads) are not showing or take long time to show.

Hello,
Thank you for your response.
Yes I would like to deactivate this, but I can’t find this option in Admin Menu / Downloads / Settings / Frontend Tab

Have you see that I have spoken about other problem, when removing one of the files in package, it is removing all of them.

Best regards,
Thierry

I tried that, I generate 10 passwords and I set the PW Usage Limit: to 2. Now I download a file and after 2 downloads I am unable to download anymore files – which is good.
I now use the next password I have generated but that dosnt work either, nor any of the passwords – so thats no good since it says the PW Usage Limit is per password not ALL the generated passwords.

Please help – getting very frustrating.

So I just paid another $89 so I could download the 4.6.5 version and I still do not see the ability to keep the filename extension there, when you said it was going to be part of 4.6.3.

Example………
I have already in the downloads, a file called:

Filename.zip

I upload a new version called: Filename.zip

The plugin should Overwrite the Filename.zip with the new Filename.zip, and keep the same filename of the file called Filename.zip

Why is this so complex?

NEED HELP PLEASE
