I’m finding that some of my downloads are not accessible. When I click the link to download on a page, I instead download the text file that says “File Not Found.”
I have a multisite installation and this is on one of the sub-sites. I’ve deactivated and reactivated the plugin on the sub-site level as I’ve seen instructed in other threads.
Can you please help me correct this? I am using WPDM Pro.
By the way, You can create your grid using a custom link template. In that case, everything will be handled by WPDM automatically. You don’t have to copy and link the URLs. Custom templates are used to build a custom preview of the package/download.
Thanks for the information, but I was looking for something that could look at the original files and extract the information from them. The files are installers and the installer software puts the information in them. We did use DM in our old site and we hand-entered version numbers, but that was a very large effort and we would like to not just “get by”.
Ideally, we would like all the other information as well that is already stored in the installer .exe file and can be seen through the file’s properties page.
I know there is a WMI API that allows programmers to get to this information and a command that allows you to get to the information. For example,
wmic datafile where Name="E:\\FILES\\ProductDownloads\\blah.exe" get Description,Path,Status,Version,Size,Manufacturer,CreationDate
gives you formatted output. I was wondering if anyone might have something that would give results more inline with what DM requires. I am looking to avoid doing lots of work 350 times (or more). (Creating a CSV file involves doing a lot of work 350 times or more).
1 ) Created a new custom link template ( Audion Clone ). This template has both the play button and the download button as you asked. Installed the WPDM Image Button add-on to prettify the download link. You can change the button style from Image Button settings tab in WPDM settings page.
2 ) Cloned the Single Colum, Flat page template and added a link to your all download page. I have updated page template in this package https://kusumpu.com/download/suriyan-goundamani-comedy-ringtone/ Now you have to update all other packages to add the Back to all downloads button. You can modify the text by editing the custom page template.
I’ve just installed the WPDM Pro ecommerce package, and have set up my downloads.
1. in the shopping cart, is there a way to disable the “role discount” column?
2. After a successful checkout, I see an order number that I have to click to get to the order summary page with the download links. Is there a way to bypass this requirement to click the order number, and go directly to the order summary page with download links?
3. Is it possible to disable/remove the “add note” section at the bottom of the order summary/download page?
1 ) It is possible to add a download button. If you want both play and download button you have to clone the audio template and add [download_link] tag there. Then use this custom link template in archive page shortcode. Here is the Documentation.
2 ) You can add your all downloads page in your site menu to make it easily accessible from anywhere. Also, It is possible to add a link to the downloads page using a custom page template and custom template tag. I can help you with that. Send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply in that case.
I have now installed a child theme and added the customised code to that, so should now be protected from updates..
The client is really happy with this now, just one last question..
Currently when the page first loads the initial default view is “All Downloads”, so it shows all the available packages.. Can this be changed so all packages are hidden and the page is blank, until the user selects a category?
“mycategory” has the following sub-categories: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018. And we’ll add a new sub-category for each subsequent year.
Right now the tree looks like this:
2015
2016
2017
2018
What I’d like the tree to look like:
2018
2017
2016
2015
Any order/orderby attribute added to the shortcode affects the individual downloads within the sub-categories, but not the sub-categories themselves.
I specifically created the sub-categories starting with 2015, so that each new year has a higher term ID. But there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the order of the tree from ASC to DESC. Is this possible?
Customization is required because there is no existing shortcode to show the downloads of only last 30 days. We have to create a custom shortcode for that.
But your proposed approach works too. You can just sort packages by date and show the recent at the top. You can use the all packages shortcode.
Hi,
I really need to be able to record ‘total downloads per month for all packages’ and ‘total downloads per month for individual package’. Please could you look into developing this?
Stats are logged automatically. No extra setup is required for that. Did you check the Stats Download History tab? It should list all downloads. Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you can’t see any log there.
This requires a custom solution. No built-in option to check download history of a selected timeframe.
i’ve installed the Wpdownload plugin + the Directory archive addon.
At first sight everything looks to be working fine:
1) i could create (sub)categories & upload packages
2) i’ve linked these packages to 2 specific user roles (Download users & Dealers)
3) i could log in and download the package.
however, within the STATS page nothing is happening…
do i miss something in the setup?
what do we need:
ideally we need a view of the user/package downloads for a certain period (week/month).
In all packages table, File icon is generated dynamically based on attached file type. But if you want to show the icon set in package setting you have to add the following code after line no 254 in /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php file,
$ext = $data['icon'];
To make this change unaffected by plugin update, use a template file instead of customizing core plugin file.
1 ) Copy this file /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php and place it in /your-active-theme/download-manager/ directory.
2 ) Now make changes in this new template file
I think the Archive Page sidebar view is the right solution for you. It shows all categories in the left sidebar and shows packages on the right. When you click a category that has child categories, all those child categories will be shown on the right. And you can select one to filter downloads from it.
You were using the frontend uploader page ( [wpdm_frontend] ) which is not the correct shortcode for showing all downloads. The right shortcode is [wpdm-all-packages jstable=0 items_per_page=10] I have updated the shortcode.
