If you are asking about link/page templates, then you can create custom link/page templates from Downloads Templates page. Plugin update won’t delete the custom link/page templates.
i have copied the /link-template-default.php to /wp-content/themes/astra-child/download-manager, and change line 8, but it still open in the same window, what do i wrong
Please copy the template from plugins/download-manager/tpls/link-templates/link-template-default.php to your active-theme/download-manager/link-template-default.php and change line 8 <div><strong>[download_link_extended]</strong></div> with <div><strong><a target="_blank" href="[download_url]">Download</a></strong></div>
Also, tried sorting by ‘categories’ but does not work. code: [wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="30" categories="access-platforms-gangways,bus-rv" jstable=1 order_by=”categories” order="ASC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|package_size|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|File Size|Link" download_link="1"]
I am changing template to one that works [wpdm_category].
You should really fix this for future reference. Thanks!
Maybe you used custom code update in the file. After the plugin update, the file changed. So the link is disabled. For custom code update, You need to copy the file from \plugins\download-manager\tpls\wpdm-all-downloads.php and put this file into the active theme/download-manager/ wpdm-all-downloads.php, then the update will not affect the template file. More details here.
Now, After the update you can use cols="page_link,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" with the shortcode so the page link will be desplayed with the title. So you can use page_link instead of title in the cols.
You have to clone the current link template you are using and then replace [page_url] template tag with [download_url]. That will replace the details page url with a download link.
In regards to GPRD the subscriber is the one who needs to double opt-in, not us as the collector of the information. This addition of keeping the email pending until approval is good for false emails only but doesn’t solve the double opt-in requirement.
For double opt-in, if they entered an incorrect email address they wouldn’t be able to verify and we are asking that the package not be delivered until they verify. This would kill 2 birds with one stone. It would require accurate email addresses as well as be providing the double opt-in requirement for GPRD.
From Martino’s original request:
Step 1: Customer type in my form -> My customer receives Email Verify Link to the email address they entered.
Step 2: Customer Clicks this email verify -> system will send Email with Link Download
you can easily modify the page/link template to remove the download link button. As you want to use file_list download button. Please go to /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=templates&_type=page page template section and modify the one you are using with the package.
Hi Simon, I was about to post the same issue. Even more, for me 95% of packages show the empty page.
For those that show up the link is not working. Just a plain text. I had to disable the membership and allowed all downloads for now, as it is look empty 🙁
I’ve installed DMpro with the membership add-on, tinymice shortcode add-on and extended shortcodes add-on.
On my site I need 3 users who can only access their own assigned category.
In the membership add-on I’ve added 3 plans: beginner, advanced and refresher
I’ve created 3 members with each having access to 1 plan (so 1 beginner user, 1 advanced, 1 refresher)
In the downloads I’ve created 3 categories, one for each plan.
In each category I’ve added 1 test file.
In the download settings I’ve selected “When user is not allowed to download: Hide everything”
I’ve created a page that can only be accessed when logged in and added the following shortcode, using the tinymice creator:
[wpdm-all-packages categories="beginner,advanced,refresher," items_per_page=10]
When I visit the page as one of the members (let’s say advanced) I can see all packages that are created in the following format:
Title – Category – Date added – Download link
Only the download link for my own category is available, the rest is showing: “Subscribe – available for beginner or refresher only”
But I can still see the other package titles and icons, categories and date added
How can I change it so that only the one category for this user is showing, and the rest is completely hidden?
If you want to preview package in the popup then it will require custom code customization.
But you can pop up for the download file. You can use the extended shortcode addon and use [popup_link] in the page/link template. It will open the package link in a bootstrap modal popup.
Hi Support Team,
after I installed the newest plugin on our site, some of the packages cannot be downloaded anymore. The message ‘file not found’ ist displayed. Can you please check this link: https://www.technical-fixprotocol.org/recommended-practicesguidelines/
Why is the file not found?
Regards, Eva
Some time ago you did some custom work for us on our site https://jacobi.net/
We currently have the following setup
1. Files stored on our server.
2. Our script can be run to populate the packages and package categories as well as setting template.
3. Site visitor browses categories to get to package and fills out the access request form.
4. Once access request is received we set a password and then send it out via the system.
Step 2 isn’t working too well at the moment and we need to look at it to fix it.
However our clients requirement for the online downloads library has now changed.
They want to just get an email requesting a specific file and then they will send Box links manually in response to that email.
So my question is – Can we refine steps 1/2 so that we can populate our site based on the box.com stored contents? OR do you have an import script that sets package categories based on the directories that the files are stored in?
Any help would be much appreciated, it’s been a while since this was working correctly.
