Search Results for 'download link'

It is not possible from the server-side. There is a Javascript work-around. You can replace the [download_link] template tag in your link/page template with the following code. This will initiate the download and then redirect to the REDIRECT_URL Replace the REDIRECT_URL with your external URL.

<a class="wpdm-download-link btn btn-primary" href="#" onclick="window.open('[download_url]', '_blank');location.href='REDIRECT_URL'; return false;">Download</a>

You have to use a custom link template to modify the link in the package title. Currently, it is using the [page_link], to open the file directly replace that with <a href="[download_url]">[title]</a>

You can clone the link template from the Downloads > Templates page. Send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you need help with that.

We will review the implementation of a hook to change the page template on the fly. In the meantime, I have a suggestion for your membership area implementation. Instead of linking to the details page, use a shortcode with link-template which will provide instant download without visiting the package details page. This will make things easier for your members.

Hi,

this is the short code:

[wpdm_category id="erp-scale-pse" tags="web" cols="1" order_by="name" toolbar=1 desc=1 item_per_page=10 template="link-template-calltoaction3.php"]

For your information: Each time we create a new version of our software, we create a new category which is version specific. e.g. erp-scale-pse-v4-0-2-b19233. We then make the parent of the new category (erp-scale-pse-v4-0-2-b19233) the category erp-scale-pse. This automatically displays the latest release on our main download page. When the next version is released, we change the parent of category erp-scale-pse-v4-0-2-b19233 to the the category old-releases. Using this we can quickly move versions between the current release page and old releases pages.

Note: On the old releases page we currently add each previous release individually in a separate block with a separate short code. It would be great if we could get a similar layout by just adding the “old-release” category and the child categories are automatically listed as a separate block with the category title as header and the files listed within the block.

Thanks for your help

Please update the “Button Template Clone” with the following code. Adjust the image src to set your own image.

<a class="wpdm-download-link" href="[download_url]"><img src="https://img.icons8.com/nolan/50/000000/download.png"></a>

One of your plugin is breaking the download URL when using [download_link] tag.

Thanks.

Hi Myron, just want to tell you are not alone.
For us WPDM is fine for normal PDF-file and other small files. But for heavy files I do not use it anymore, since our clients have been complaining a long time about slow speed and interupted downloads.
We have tried to solve it in many ways, but for now I put big files with a normal wordpress direct link (like a normal link to a media-file). Will look further for other solutions out there.

Hi,

By default, No HTML is allowed as the button label. But you can override it using wpdm_custom_data hook. Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file and set the font awesome icon <i class="fa fa-download"></i> in “Link Label:” option of package settings.

function wpdm_html_link_label($data, $ID){
    $data['link_label'] = get_post_meta($ID, '__wpdm_link_label', true );
    return $data;
}
add_filter('wpdm_custom_data','wpdm_html_link_label', 10, 2);

Best regards.
