As an update to any watching, I attempted to do as Substance151 suggested and installed the advanced custom fields add on that came with the special pack I purchased. This looks promising for creating the fields and getting data but as of yet I am unsure how to generate a second email with the data collected.
After creating a group and some fields in the “Custom Fields” area of the downloads menu I went to add them to the form lock only to find that it would not show the field group I created in the drop down… it just said “Select an option” with nothing to select.
Ok… There was an issue someone else had that was similar and 4.5.0 had come out.
After update I was getting an error (see other post) so I deactivated WPDM until I get a resolution to that.
I will keep people updated on how I try to deal with this simple function that should be basic but is not.
We are releasing an update soon to fix this issue. Downloads are there, appears after search. However, after update all downloads will be shown by default.
Check allowed user roles from in Downloads Settings Frontend settings. Only allowed user roles will see the wpdm frontend. Please send login info in private reply if that does not solve it.
It is setup to be used with Categories (or All Downloads if you remove the Category filter). Is it possible to use Tags? Tags are working with the Tag Shortcode, but we need to use Tags with the Data Table mode too.
Hello
every visitor is not checked into categories, but all the other roles, so I limit for individual packages in categories I check only admin and then select PACKAGES in which roles have access to downloads. Right?
Please use following short-code to get the Responsive Table output: [wpdm-all-packages items_per_page=10 jstable=1]
To modify the view you need to do the following:
1) Copy tpls dir folder from download-manager plugin to your active theme dir
2) Rename the copied tplsfolder in your active theme to download-manager
3) finally, To you can modify the output of the table by editing [active-theme-dir]/download-manager/wpdm-all-downloads.php
http://osz-biv.de/downloads/allgemein/ <— is because of your theme, however, please give me temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply, I shall adjust it for you.
for my project I need a list of files from a category, I tried the last 4 hours to get this done with the plugin but I end in bugs, maybe its theme related?
I am experiencing a settings problem at Downloads Settings Frontend Category Page Options
My settings got “stuck”. No matter what changes I make to the Basic Style display (and yes, I’m clicking “save”) it reverts back to the last style. I can switch to the Link Style, but when I go back to Basic Style, I still have my last used settings which can’t be changed.
Before I messed with this section, on the Category Page, I had the featured image, the title of the download (linked to the download itself), and the (truncated) description. Then I noticed this section of settings (which, by default, had neither Basic nor Link style toggled on) and started trying things….now I can’t get back to how it was.
I can only toggle between the two options (Use Basic Style or Use Link Template) — which would be fine, as the Basic Style with everything unchecked seems to have been the default. However, it’s not working as I would expect. I would expect to be able to uncheck all the boxes, and have all those items not displayed.
1) I can’t ever uncheck all the boxes in Basic Style. Whatever “last box” I had checked, it stays checked, even if I uncheck it and save settings.
2) If I select “Download Link” I just get the word “Download” in plain text — it’s not linked. But a download button (linked) does display, which is redundant.
I hope you can help me resolve this. If you need access to review my settings I can provide it.
All the pages that WPDM should create result in 404 errors. Even the shortcode [wpdm_user_dashbord] doesn’t work. I have the latest wordpress and latest download manager pro versions. Links to individual downloads do work. My wordpress is currently installed in a sub folder on my server because it’s in the development stage.
I’ve been going through all the settings but I must be missing something.. Help please!
Support,
I have loaded WPDM and the accordian add-on. I’ve added some downloads and am using the shortcode [wpdm-accordian] to output on the download page. The accordian opens, however the link template does not show properly. All it shows when the accordian opens is “link-template-panel.php”, see attached.
Initially i got confused, i was still trying to use the same page (site homepage) i was using before. And problems remained.
Then i saw you used a specific page for the “User Dashboard” and chosen it instead of the previous (homepage). I looked into it and it worked.
So, to everyone reading this, do not define User Dashboard on site homepage.
Just some things disturb me at the moment, and i ask you if there is a solution:
On the User Dashboard, why do users see files on the “Recommended Downloads” area, that they have no access to? Is there a way to show only files that user can access? (commented screenshot in the attached file)
On the User Dashboard, what is the user level area supposed to do? Print account type? Why is it empty?
On the User Dashboard’s main page, the “Profile link” is redundant, please make it disappear on dashboard main page.
On the User Dashboard’s profile page, there is a Paypal email field, is there a way to hide it?/li>
Is there a shortcode cheat-sheet? Os is this page it?
I installed a fresh copy of plugins, verse theme ad WP latest. We have permalinks set to full URL.
We need to set-up a simple file sharing system, to allow our client to share files with clients in a secure manner.
I setup the website so that at the homepage, users see the login form, once logged they see the user dashboard (simply used [wpdm_user_dashboard] in the page).
The dashboard has some links that do not work. And we had to manually create some pages to account for the broken links in the dashboard menu:
A – “Edit Profile” leads to 404, we solved in a page with [wpdm_edit_profile]);
B – “Profile link” seems useless as it only reloads that same page;
C – “Download History” leads to 404, we created a page to solve the 404 but do not know that shortcode to use there! (complete lack of documentation)
D – “”Logout” leads to 404 how do i solve that?.
User level section is completely BLANK (what is it for?)
User dashboard also shows on Recommended Downloads section downloads that the user is NOT ALLOWED to download or even see.
We need to know how to create a page that shows all downloads avaiable to the logged user. Last 5 downloads in dashboard is not nearly enough. What happens if user needs to re-download old files? There is no way to get to them since “Download History” link is broken.
At the moment i find this plugin to be immature, it is missing documentation, i found many shortcodes in the code that do not even exit in the documentation (ex. [wpdm_my_downloads] gives a list of files for the user, but information is limited and besides prints a PHP error related to WPDM Custom Access plugin.)
And we thought this was a mature plugin….
