I have a client website with a downloads section I am trying to get working from the old site (see login information in private reply below..) , which I want to transfer to the new site https://www.familyservicens.ca/downloads/ (does not require login)
I did an export and import using wordpress tools for this, it created the XML file, which I imported but the links do not work.
The XML file is so small, I don’t think it properly downloaded any of the files because when I check the master link, it produces an error… sorry file not found.
Can you please help me figure out how to get things working correctly. Happy to continue this chat via email.. contact@highlandmultimedia.com
Actually, Can we setup a bespoke login page for Downloads rther than sending them to the main login page? This is something that we need and might fix the issue?
When the system tells someone to click the login link to download, the link isn’t working? It works when yuou right click and open in new window though?
I have the free version (3.2.66) of Download Manager running on Patheon server which in the past hasn’t has any issues. Recently it has been noticed that the files aren’t saving when creating new downloads through the green button upload issue.
When I run the site on my local hosting, it doesn’t replicate this issue.
On the Pantheon server, I can see:
– the file get uploaded successfully after selecting it from the local drive.
– the file name get added above the green box with the garbage bin link next to it.
– saving the new record, sends the file name successfully
– the new file is on the server in the uploads/download-manager-files directory correctly
– the new post is in the posts table
– the metadata table has all the new metadata fields added but I have noticed that the __wpdm_files field doesn’t get the correct object saved and has the filename empty.
This file name being empty is obviously the problem but I’m at a loss was to why this is happening on the Patheon hosting all of a sudden.
You can check WPDM Directory add-on, it will help WordPress Download Manager users to show all categories and downloads on a single page with different styles.Here is the overall structure of the directory add-on. Category View, Subcategory View.
I want to create a layout with category and then subcategory layout
If user click on category, then user will see all the available products to download and also want to see the latest downloads inside bar please suggest me the plugins I need to use for kind of design
please have a look in this demo and please give suggestions
Better make it fast, or we will request a refund.
We are already looking at alternatives, as this flaw is a BAD one.
How can your developers not have thought about this?!
As a “Manager”, you manage people or you manage the Downloads. You cannot manage the downlaods on this website at all.. as NO way to see who has what assigned to them.
It’s a good plugin, but with this flaw, is it a BAD one.
All downloads/packages assigned to a user is listed in User Dashboard My Downloads Tab
If you want, you can create a special page using shortcode[wpdm_my_downloads login=1 role=”0 or 1″ template=”template-id” cols=”1 or 2 or 3 or 4″ cats=1]or[wpdm_my_downloads login=1]to list all packages assigned to a specific user – this shortcode is useful when you want to create a user-specific download area or members area.
This tells me how the user can see their downloads. Fine.
Special page using shortcode to list all packages assigned to a specific user.
That reads… taht we have to creeate a special page – PER USER… is that right? Or am I wrong there?
To be able to Manager our Downloads, and view “Who has what” we would need to have you guys build that?
Oh come on.
This is NOT a download manager, if you cannot Manager who can view what, from a list.
Surely… surely… SURELY there is an admin page, where we can list all users, click the user, and in there, is a screen that shows everything assigned to them?
I created a Python script to automate file uploads using the REST API (I generated the key in the plugin) with this fantastic plugin. Everything works perfectly except for one issue.
Despite the user having the necessary permissions, after automatically uploading the files, the downloads don’t work unless I manually enter each automatically uploaded download and click “update”. I have realized this happens because the master key is not generated.
Is there a way to resolve this without having to manually enter each download and click “update”?
I’m sorry?
So right now, if you have 200 users, and overall around 5000 downloads spread across these users:
The website owner has literally NO MEANS to see what downloads are assigned to user number 50?
There must be??? There has to be. Else that is an ENORMOUS DEEP FLAW in this system. A downloads manager where you cannot manage a list to see what is assigned to any given user??
The slight problem is, when someone logs in to handle all the uploads for the users, they go to the backend. Thre is no backend screen that shows all the Packages/Downloads, assigned to each user.
From what you are sayingw e need to create a link in a custom menu, that goes to a page using your Shortcode.
What exact shortcode do we need on a page, that will show ALL download Packages, and then be able to filter by user? (or search by user)?
” And for your requirement you may trying from Downloads > All Packages section there will be a dropdown where anyone login or the administrator can filter packages by Author. Please check and let me know.” This won’t help. As this is for example, things that I personall yhave uploaded. I want to know ANYONE has uploaded and assigned to a particular member.
I am making your requirement more elaborate, with this shortcode logged in user can see the all the packages created by him not assigned to him. And for your requirement you may trying from Downloads > All Packages section there will be a dropdown where anyone login or the administrator can filter packages by Author. Please check and let me know.
I’d like you to be a little more elaborate on your reply please.
So in short, where we CREATE the packages and store them, there is no way to filter them by user to whom they are assigned.
So we have to create a page for admins, with a shortcode that they allows us to view ALL downloads assigned to each user? It’s not making sense to me.
If I post a login as a private reply can you setup the page on our site for me, so I can see what you mean? It’s basically a list of ALL Packages created and then a means to filter by user.
