Hi there, first of all i’d like to say a huge thanks to Shahriar and the devs for their recent customisation work on WPDM for my site, the access request system you guys have dev’d for me is awesome.
I now have an issue with how to populate my sites library.
Originally I planned on this system.
‘Box’ Repository Sync’d With PC > PC FTP Upload Every 48hrs Automated > Files On Sever Linked To Packages
(This was originally my idea so that access control wasn’t handled by Box and we could keep it all in sync, this was on the understanding that the file names would never change at any stage of the sync, but i’ve just been informed that’s no longer going to be the case.)
So now that method isn’t going to work I was considering the following.
> Duplicate the ‘Box’ directories as a second copy that has Box open access.
> Sync that open access ‘Box’ and it’s files with packages in WPDM
> This should allow the access control customisation on WPDM to handle the downloads of the files from the Box.
My question:
(I was just finishing the .csv for bulk import when the client told me about the name changes so you can understand i’m now hoping there is a way to populate all my packages using a Box linked file with some ease.)
I’d appreciate if you could advise me of the best way for me to set this library up to support changes in Box files without breaking the package links when they are made.
Shahriar i’ll be on skype if you can discuss.
Thanks in advance,
Ben Lloyd
Hi Shaon and Shahriar,
Once more I would like to thank for the great plugin and the always quick support !
My little problem today is, that the “order by download_count” sorting in a wpdm-archive does not work.
I use the following code form your manual http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/installation-usage/
[wpdm-archive button_style=”default” link_template=”5714cdf0cba4f” items_per_page=”9″ category=”category-slugs” order_by=”download_count“]
on this page: https://www.schiedel.com/de/downloads/
Please choose any category in the drop down… The order_by=”download_count“ sorting does not work.
Just for info, I have the drop down selection fields hidden via css. But the error is also without my change…
/* #mk-page-id-37 .w3eden .col-md-3 {
display: none !important;
} */
Is this a known bug ?
Any Idea?
Thanks a million for any help!
Best regards
Christian
Hello!
I’m new here and bought WP Download Manager Pro but I have some questions.
I’m trying to make a freebies website (people can download templates and other files for free) and I’m using portfolio custom post type to make the single products page (I found a template that I liked). I want to just paste the shortcode on this pages and get just the download button (like this: https://i.gyazo.com/f414f809992a87593bcb752825a6d046.png). How can I make it?
Also, I saw the plugin creates a new page like “domain.com/downloads/file123” but I don’t want this, because I will have double pages with the same file. What’s the best solution for this? I think I have two options:
1. Edit the page created by plugin and give it the same “portfolio” template (how can I do this?)
2. Hide all the “download” pages created by plugin, so I can put shortcode on the CPT and I will have a unique page for each file.
Hope you can help me with this.
Sorry for my english, I’m not a native.
Let me know if you have any question.
Thanks in advance!
I made a page for my frontend uploader located at: http://sitename.com/index.php/downloads-frontend/
That part is fine. The actual links, such as those of my edit buttons, go to “/edit-package/6093/
Which results in Page Not Found because edit-package page doesn’t exist…
In the WPDownloadManager Demo the EDIT buttons links are formed as such: /?adb_page=edit-package/6093/
So it seems my links are missing the “?adb_page=” part…
If I MANUALLY type in the address using the link style used in the demo (http://sitename.com/index.php/downloads-frontend/?adb_page=edit-package/6093/” it finds the page and works fine, but how do I get my frontend page to actually generate the proper form of links so I can just click the damn buttons instead of having to copy paste links like that?
Thanks!
Hello, I’m here to report several things:
1/ On my test website when I submit comments they don’t show (even though the comments_template() function is called in my page template); It simply says “No Comment”.
2/ I would like to display the list of available downloads on my home page with individual items, do you have snippets available for that?
Thanks.
Hi,
The ‘uploads’ page is blank. All that we see is the top menu with “All Items, Add New, Edit Profile and Logout”.
We defined the upload page here:
Downloads > Settings > Frontend > Frontend Uploader Page: /upload/
This page doesn’t allow us to upload documents. Why is this page blank?
Please advise on what could be causing this and how to fix.
Thanks!
Hi folks,
I want to include the ‘page-template-1col-flat.php’ into the translation process.
So altered the template accordingly:
<tr><td><?php echo __(‘Version’,’wpdmpro’); ?></td><td>[version]</td></tr>
<tr><td><?php echo __(‘Download’,’wpdmpro’); ?></td><td>[download_count]</td></tr>
<tr><td><?php echo __(‘Stock’,’wpdmpro’); ?></td><td>[quota]</td></tr>
<tr><td><?php echo __(‘Total Files’,’wpdmpro’); ?></td><td>[file_count]</td></tr>
<tr><td><?php echo __(‘Size’,’wpdmpro’); ?></td><td>[file_size]</td></tr>
<tr><td><?php echo __(‘Create Date’,’wpdmpro’); ?></td><td>[create_date]</td></tr>
<tr><td><?php echo __(‘Last Updated’,’wpdmpro’); ?></td><td>[update_date]</td></tr>
I also made sure, that the translation variables are available in the po(t)/mo – files like:
#: wpdm-functions.php:1602
#: tpls/page-templates/page-template-1col-flat.php:12
msgid “Version”
msgstr “”
…
#: tpls/page-templates/page-template-1col-flat.php:13
#: wpdm-functions.php:226 wpdm-functions.php:234 wpdm-functions.php:239
#: wpdm-functions.php:921 wpdm-functions.php:997
msgid “Download”
msgstr “Download”
#: tpls/page-templates/page-template-1col-flat.php:14
msgid “Stock”
msgstr “Verfügbar”
#: tpls/page-templates/page-template-1col-flat.php:15
msgid “Total Files”
msgstr “Anzahl der Dateien”
#: widgets/class.PackageInfo.php:24
#: tpls/page-templates/page-template-1col-flat.php:16
msgid “Size”
msgstr “”
#: tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php:85
#: tpls/page-templates/page-template-1col-flat.php:17
msgid “Create Date”
msgstr “Erstelldatum”
#: widgets/class.PackageInfo.php:23
#: tpls/page-templates/page-template-1col-flat.php:18
msgid “Last Updated”
msgstr “”
The Textdomain is also correct, otherwise the other translations would not be loaded.
So, is there some possibility, that ‘page-template-1col-flat.php’ is excluded from the translation process?
Or what am I doing wrong here?
Thx for your help and Greetz,
Hannes
Hi there,
I would like to do the following:
1. Choose a user, and then see all files downloaded by that user for all time, regardless of date or month or time, and
2. Choose a file and see which users downloaded that file for all time, regardless of date or month or time
I see that if I go to my user list and click on the link next to each user called “download stats”, I am taken to the “Package vs date” tab, where I see just a list of files (without the grid on the right showing the download count). This is what I see:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hsw7f76pqrssrzg/Screenshot%202016-05-14%2013.10.34.png?dl=0
And then if I click on the “Package vs User” tab, I am given the option to choose a specific date for which I can see packages and users, but I have to search day by day until I find download activity.
If I then go back to the “Package vs Date” tab, I see a full list of files and a grid showing downloads (which wasn’t visible when clicking directly from the user list). It looks like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qpa3jkykan9ag57/Screenshot%202016-05-14%2013.25.50.png?dl=0
Ultimately, none of these views is what I am looking for. I need to be able to choose a user, and see which files he or she has downloaded for all time (and Ideally the date each file was downloaded). I also need to be able to choose any file/package and see all the users who have downloaded that package, including the date it was downloaded.
Can this be done, and if it is not standard behavior, can it be custom programmed?
Thanks.
