Search Results for 'download link'

We will add the patch in next release, so update won’t erase the patch.

You have to use a custom link template. To skip the details page remove the [page_link] tag from your template. And to open in new window replace [download_link] with the following code,

<a href="[download_url]" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary">[link_label]</a>

Just tested your custom template. The PDF is now opening in a new tab.

When there are too many files in a package and the total size is bigger than usual your server is failing to compress the file due to server limitation. And the compression process is being halted on halfway which is creating those junk file. My suggestion is, turn off main package download link on those packages and use the only single file download option.

Please deactivate the cache zip file option from WPDM Settings. Or send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply, I will update the settings. Also, keep the single file download option only. To do that you have to use [file_list] or [file_list_extended] template tag in your link/page template and remove the [download_link] tag to disable whole package download option.

Hi,

Please replace the [download_link] template tag with the following code. You have to use custom link/page template for that.

<a href="[download_url]" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary">[link_label]</a>

Also, make sure to activate the “Open in browser” option.

Thanks.

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.

I am also getting #locked after purchasing the Form Lock plugin and installing it… it shows up after completing a form in the download link. why is this the case? how do I change it? This is very frustrating!

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.

“Email Download Link” feature uses the default Email template( first one ). You can translate it from Downloads Templates Email Templates Tab.

You have to create a custom link template to open the file in a new tab. Clone the link template you are using now. Then replace [download_link] template tag with the following code,

<a href="[download_url]" class="btn btn-primary" target="_blank">[link_label]</a>

Or send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply. I will do it for you.

That’s an odd issue… It looks sorta like it might be a CSS issue… Also all your download links give a 403 error from Google… Just FYI…

( I’m not support for WPDM, just giving my opinion on where the issue might be)

unfortunately when you use the Login Required Message, it doesn’t display the login form when you use the link. This is a problem if you want the form to show up instead of a link to a page to login.

Instead, I had to use Code Snippets and use the following:

add_action(‘wpdm_login_form’,’my_login_field’);
function my_login_field() {
?>
<p>
<h3 class=”media-heading” style=”padding-top: 0px;border:0px;margin: 0 0 5px 0;font-size:12pt;”>Login above or Register to download this file</h3>
</p>
<?php
}

Not the prettiest. Would be nicer to have a way to customize the login form that shows up instead of having just a message as the fall back. Especially since the text above only appears below the login fields.

Also, upon logging in, it would be nice if it stayed on the same page where the link was put in and just change the login form to a download form.

If your product is free for download then you can just add the URL to the package. User will be redirected to the URL when they click the download link.

Please make sure you have the latest version of Download Manager ( 4.9.3 ) and Premium Package ( 4.2.0 ) add-on. Then check the “Private Download Links Usage Limit:” option is Basic settings page. If it is set to 0 then set a bigger number there.

If the problem persists send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply.
