Search Results for 'all downloads'

The template type is fine – I understand.
However how do I define what template I am going to use to list all my downloads?
For example I am currently using the following on my listing screen but it doesnt mention the listing layout template anywhere:

[wpdm_all_packages login=0 thumb=1 items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download::155px"]

Sure, but the search reveals ALL docs to ALL users – this is bad.
We are using this plugin because it allows us to assign downloads to users.
Search will bypass that… which is very very bad.

Ok. So right now, there is absolutely no way for a client to login, and search for THEIR downloads, based on the Description, within the WP DL Manager plugin.

Only via the title of the package.
Just so we are clear. As I was originally told otherwise.

Sure, but the Search shortcode you provided – if we use that, and give it to anyone, they can access ALL USERS downloads.

Can you please add it to our Downloads page, so I can see what you mean, as you do have access.
As I am confused.

I know about the Allow Access option. But what do I put in there, so it allows access to all who are logged in?

Hi sorry can you please elaborate.
If you edit the page for downloads, you can see what code we have in there.
Are you saying that Shortcode can be tweaked so it CAN search in the Description – which is what I was told it could do in your livechat?

And secondly, Within the Allow Access – are you saying there is no way right now with our paid account, to enable it so all who are logged in, can view certain Docs. IE. if the team wanted to make one Doc available to all clients – no way to do that?

I was told on the Livechat on here, that because we cannot search for File Names, we can simply put those file names in the Description, so users can search for it.

You are now saying, this is NOT possible. So if a client contacts them to say “I need that document called xxx, where do I find it”, they have no way to search for the file name, or any keyword. And if a Package has more than one file, it is totally impossible search for that filename.

That being said, if they are logged in, does the Default Search (top right of any page) let that search result find it? But NOT in the main Downloads screen?

It’s just so all over the place. And one doesn’t find out these things til we are using it.
No way to search for Filename.
And if that filename is listed in the Description, the Search in the Downloads screen, does not allow you to find the keyword added to the description.

Oh boy.
Also, with regard to being able to enable a set file to be available in downloads to any logged in user – sorry we need to pay to be able to do that? Really?

Disregard our site’s main search please. That should not be showing any results from the Download Manager at all (tho it doesn’t matter, so long as it doesn’t show results NOW assigned to that user. That’s a security risk.

This is the search in the WP Download Manager Downloads area.

No, it works, the countdown shows 24 hours but it restarts every 48 hours, it would really take the downloads to restart every 24 hours

I went now to Downloads>Settings>License and pressed Save Settings. But still I do not have an option to “update” on the Plugins panel: It still tells me that my license has expired!

At the same time I really wonder why my paid initial license is not any more recognized. Normally I should not have to pay the license twice and still not get it working; this is at least my humble expectation – normally…

It really looks to me like things are pretty much messed up, with two versions being installed in parallel, somehow competing with each other so none of them can work properly!
