Search Results for 'all downloads'

Hi Marc,

I am NOT WPDM Pro Support

Just to let you know, the base WPDM Pro plugin allows this by default..

You’ll need to create a page with the following shortcode on it:

[wpdm_frontend]

This is where the upload tool(s) will be..

Then just go to:

Downloads -> Settings -> Frontend Access

There you’ll see where you can set options for the user side of the plugin (Such as login page, register page, etc..)

Set the the Frontend Uploader Page to the page with that short code on it.

Set the Allowed User Roles to Create Packages From Front-end to add all the roles that you want to allow to upload.

You’ll also want to make sure all the settings on that page are correct for what you want, but do make sure to verify:

When Someone Creates a Package:
[ <Drop Down List ]

When File Already Exists:
{ <Drop Down List ]

Are set. You can find the documentation for this settings page at: Frontend Access Settings

Hope that helps.

Hi Vela,

I am NOT WPDM Support

There is a setting for this:

Downloads –> Settings –> Basic –> [ File Download ]

Find the Check box that reads:

[ ] Open in Browser
Try to Open in Browser instead of download when someone clicks on download link

Check that and when a user clicks on them, it should open in the browser rather than trying to download (on files that CAN be opening in a browser.. PowerPoints and Word Docs will most likely just goto the download dialog or download depending on browser settings).

As to making it open in a new tab…. I know when creating a text link, you can check a box that says “open in a new tab” or some such, but I believe that’s a WordPress dialog, and you have to manually copy the direct download link into it. At least that’s the only way I’ve found to open in a new tab.

The support people might know a different (better?) way to do it. It’s also possible that you could edit the templates to do what you want.

Hi Chris,

Not support for WPDM.. But you need to goto:

Your Purchase Page

There you will see a file: download-manager-4.9.2.zip under your purchases

You need to download that, and then remove the WPDM Free version.. This will not remove any of your current settings or downloads.

You then need to install the 4.9.2 version ( Pro is v4.x while Free is v2.x). You then need to put in your license key into the appropriate place in the settings, and save settings. You should get a notice about your license key being validated.

The wpdm-archive.zip file is a different type of display for downloads (the one with the categories to the left, that expand and collapse while having seach and downloads to the right… You can see it on the Demo site ( –> HERE <– )

Once you have the WPDM Pro installed, you should have no problem finding the appropriate settings. 🙂

Hope that helps.

Now all zip files will be stored in cache dir which you can clear periodically from Downloads Settings Privacy tab. If you don’t want to store zip file it is better to disable the package download button and use only single file download links. Because creating a zip file takes a fair amount of server resource and as you are not storing those created zip the process has to be done again the next time someone else downloads the file.

So, either deactivate whole package download link or keep those zipped files to get optimized performance.

Hi,
Tags are already available with wpdm and there are shortcodes with wpdm pro to filter tags, docs:
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_tag-query-all-downloads-from-specified-tags/
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_packages-wp_query-in-a-shortcode-for-download-manager-packages/
However, we shall add tag filter/parameter with [wpdm_all_packages] shortcode with the next update of the plugin.

A user can edit only their own profile info. And you can control the access to the downloads using the “Allow Access” option in package settings.

WordPress shows the admin bar to all registered users. Download Manager has nothing to do with that. But I can suggest some code to hide the admin bar. Add the following code in theme’s functions.php file to hide admin bar for all roles except administrators,

add_action('after_setup_theme', 'wpdm_remove_admin_bar');
 
function wpdm_remove_admin_bar() {
if (!current_user_can('administrator') && !is_admin()) {
  show_admin_bar(false);
}
}

Which link template are you using now? Please check the package settings and find the selected link template. Then clone this link template from Downloads Templates page. In this new cloned link template, you have to replace [download_link] with [download_link_extended] to use an embedded form instead of popup.

You can also override the link template selected in package settings by defining the template in your package shortcode. Check the example below,

[wpdm_package id=5387 template="link-template-calltoaction1"]

You can set the new cloned template ID as value of template in package shortcode [wpdm_package id=5387 template="5a0a849876116"]

Here is a detailed tutorial about creating custom templates https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/building-a-wordpress-download-manager-link-template-from-scratch/

Get the file from here. I have added the code in line 380 and tested it on my setup.

The search option is available in the data table version of all packages table. Not everything in this template is editable because some parts are controlled by the data table js library.

It is possible to hide the number of packages per page dropdown using custom css. It is also possible to add search placeholder. Create a copy of the wpdm-all-downloads.php template file and place it in /active-theme/download-manager/ directory. Then send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply. I will make the code updates to add these features.

Hello Kyle,

Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply. I will update the code for you. To make these changes permanent copy the wpdm-all-downloads.php file and place it in /active-theme/download-manager/wpdm-all-downloads.php directory. I will edit this new template file.

Thanks.

Advanced Custom Fields ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-custom-fields/ ) add-on allows you to add additional fields in email lock. And Form Lock ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-form-lock/ ) add-on allows locking downloads behind custom forms made by different Form Plugins. You can check if those options are viable for you.

You can modify the labels using register_post_type_args filter. Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file and adjust the labels as you want.

add_filter('register_post_type_args', 'wpdm_modify_posttype_labels', 10, 2);
function wpdm_modify_posttype_labels($args, $post_type){

    if ($post_type == 'wpdmpro'){
        $labels = array(
            'name' ► __( "Downloads" , "download-manager" ),
            'singular_name' ► __( "Download" , "download-manager" ),
            'add_new' ► __( "Add New" , "download-manager" ),
            'add_new_item' ► __( "Add New Download" , "download-manager" ),
            'edit_item' ► __( "Edit Package" , "download-manager" ),
            'new_item' ► __( "New Download" , "download-manager" ),
            'all_items' ► __( "All Downloads" , "download-manager" ),
            'view_item' ► __( "View Download" , "download-manager" ),
            'search_items' ► __( "Search Downloads" , "download-manager" ),
            'not_found' ► __( "No Download Found" , "download-manager" ),
            'not_found_in_trash' ► __( "No Downloads found in Trash" , "download-manager" ),
            'parent_item_colon' ► '',
            'menu_name' ► __( "Downloads" , "download-manager" )

        );
        $args['labels'] = $labels;
    }

    return $args;
}

Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply Or add the following code after line 235 in /download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php file,

if( ! wpdm_user_has_access(get_the_ID())) continue;
