Search Results for 'download link'

Hi,

You modified the link and page template files inside the plugin dir in your old version to create a custom look. But when you updated plugin you mods were not available anymore. That’s why the view changed after plugin update.

The correct way of adding a custom look is using a custom link and page template. I have created a link and a page template with the same code you used to modify the default templates in the old version. Both are named Default Template Mod. You can read more about creating custom templates here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/building-a-wordpress-download-manager-link-template-from-scratch/

I have updated the link template in widgets to match the previous style. But you have to update each of your packages after setting the new page template ( Default Template Mod ) from package settings. I updated this one https://sandboxwp2.ninjatraderecosystem.com/user-submitted-apps-download/alligator/

Now that we are using custom link and page template your views won’t be lost again after plugin update.

Thanks.

Hi,

Please follow this steps:

1. Go to Downloads>Templates>Create Link Templates
2. Give a title of the template
3. Write [download_url] in the code section
4. Click save template.
5. Use the newly created template as Link Template of the file.

Please refer to the attached screenshot for more information.

Thank you.

Hi David,

Download Manager cache dir stores the resized thumbnail ( featured image ) previews. These resized previews are created when requested by a link or page template with a defined size.

When a resized preview exists in cache dir WPDM reuses it instead of creating it again which makes the site run faster. If you clear the cache dir all previews will be deleted and previews will be created based on requests.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other question.

Thanks.

Download Manager Custom link and page templates are saved in the database ( options table ) when you are creating the templates from Downloads Templates page.

So templates can be lost only if the _fm_link_templates and _fm_page_templates options are erased. There is no possibility of this happening without manually deleting all custom templates from Downloads Templates page.

Are your staging and live site identical? I mean did you copy the live site from staging? In that case, you can copy the options from the staging site to bring back custom templates.

How many custom templates did you have? If you have custom templates ID and code it is possible to restore those by editing database. But requires some time to re-create the format.

Please add the following CSS in your theme’s custom CSS option or at the bottom of theme’s style.css file,

.w3eden a { color: #0d23e5; }

This should match the download link color with your usual link color.

Hi,

You are using the Free version of Download Manager there. The free version has limited number of templates. It doesn’t have the link-template-panel-1-3 link template. If you purchased the Pro version of plugin please install it to render the Panel template.

Thanks.

Please send me the URL to check. I will suggest required CSS that you can add to change download link color. You can also use Image Button add-on to show beautiful download buttons instead of just links.

Hi Andrew,

PHP is not supported in link/page template. But you don’t need PHP for what you are trying to do. You can hide a custom field when it is empty by adding [hide_empty:template_tag] as a CSS class in wrapping node.

For example,

<tr class="[hide_empty:acf_DownloadFields_title]"><td>ACF Download Fields Title</td><td>[acf_DownloadFields_title]</td></tr>

This table row will be hidden if [acf_DownloadFields_title] value is empty.

Let me know if you any question.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have removed the old [wpdm_package_id] input and added a new hidden field with the same default value. Also applied the embedded form ( Used a page template with [download_link_extended] ). Now lock is working.

Thanks.

No need to zip the .eps file before uploading. Just tested a .eps file downloaded by WPDM. Works fine. Could you please send me the original file and the download link?

Hi,

Yes, there is a template tag [pdf_thumb] that shows the PDF thumb ( first page of pdf ). In your link downloads are shown using WPDM link template. Now, to show PDF thumb you have to create a custom link template with this tag [pdf_thumb].

You can create custom link template from Dashboard Downloads Templates page.

It is possible to add any custom link in details page using custom template tag. Where do you want the user to go back from details page?
