Search Results for 'download link'

You can create custom link/page templates using our Pro version. So, replacing the [download_link] tag in any template with the following code will open the link in a new tab,

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

Hi,

The category page is controlled by a template from your theme. Download Manager can partially modify the page using some hooks.

To add the toolbar we need a custom category archive template for Download Manager. You can copy the current archive template of your theme and rename it to taxonomy-wpdmcategory.php. Then add the toolbar feature in this template. This new template gives you total control over the pacakge category archive page.

If you need help with this please send temporary wp-admin and FTP login info in private reply. Or just send me the category archive template file so I can use it to create the new template. Send a category archive page link to if you are sending the file.

Thanks.

You can use [wpdm_packages] shortcode with link templates. Here is the shortcode documentation https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_packages-wp_query-in-a-shortcode-for-download-manager-packages/

But Directory add-on ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/ ) is the best option for this kind use case. Please check the demo here https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/

Let me add a useful link. This post explains the template customization https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/building-a-wordpress-download-manager-link-template-from-scratch/

[file_list] [link_label]

<div class=”panel panel-default”>
<div class=”panel-heading”><b>Document to Download</b></div>
<div class=”panel-body”>
[file_list] [link_label]
</div>

This is the code in my page template:

<div class=”panel panel-default”>
<div class=”panel-heading”><b>Document to Download</b></div>
<div class=”panel-body”>
[file_list] [link_label]
</div>

Hi,
I had the same issue, ‘single-file download’ fixes the problem, however, I want the download file to open in a new page once clicking the download link. At the moment it opens it in the same window, thus taking me away from the website.

Any suggestions?

Looks like the download issue is related to the access settings. At first, no role was selected in package settings, so download didn’t work as expected. Because no one has access to the package.

Later you updated the access settings to allow the User and Administrator role to have download access. But you tried to download the file without logging in. But package settings require User and Administrator role.

If you want the link work always then select Anyone in package settings.

About the next/previous links, those are coming from your theme. Download Manager uses your active theme’s single.php template to show the package. It can control the content part but the rest is controlled by the theme. So, you have the edit the single.php to remove those links.

You can copy the single.php and rename it single-wpdmpro.php If this template exists inside your theme this will get priority over single.php The benefit of using single-wpdmpro.php is, it will only be used by WPDM, so you can design it as you want without affecting any other parts of your site.

We will add the following patch in next version to fix this issue. Replace

$vars['free_download_btn'] = self::free_download_button($vars['ID'], $vars['link_label']);
with
$vars['free_download_btn'] = self::free_download_button($vars['ID'], apply_filters("free_files_link_label", __( "Download free sample" , "wpdm-premium-packages" )));

in wpdm-premium-packages.php file on line 1114.

And then you can utilize the free_files_link_label filter to modify the label as shown in the following example.

function wpdm_free_files_link_label(){
    return 'Download Free Files';
}
add_filter('free_files_link_label', 'wpdm_free_files_link_label');

I have created a custom template tag [file_list_play_only] to show only play button.

Copy the code from here https://www.dropbox.com/s/5hk4xca0x80lcmi/file_list_play_only.php?dl=0 and add it to your theme’s functions.php file.

And then use the [file_list_play_only] tag on your custom link/page template.

Btw, remove the previous code to allow the download button in normal file list tag.
