Search Results for 'download link'

I have another comment on this…..

The existing “download history” tab would become much more useful if we could sort by package name, or filter by package name or date or username. Right now it’s just too much information.

The “package vs date” tab is cool, but I can think of two things that would make it more useful for us:

1) option to sort the list by package name (i.e., alpha/asc/desc, rather than the current, seemingly-random order), and

2) if the hover on each # of downloads would display a popup with more details, rather than having to click through.

Right now, with just a number, we don’t know if it’s even worth looking at the details page. If there were a popup on hover, it could show a partial list of users and IPs with a “more” link. For us, this would help because we mainly want to know about logged in users who downloaded. If we saw “none” for users, we would not bother to look further, and could go “hover” on the next one.

“Package vs user” is what I expected we would like the best….but it has never displayed usernames, so it’s not usable at all. Also, it only goes by a single day at a time…..we would prefer to see a month at a time, or even a week. But single days are just too hard to process through.

I realize, of course, that many users probably have way more downloads than we do, so looking at a single day is probably useful for many of your other clients.

My only suggestion for the Monthly Stats tab would be to make selecting a package a bit more intuitive. Right now, that button just takes me to the list of packages, then I have to find one I want to view. If that button had a search box where we could just type in the name of the package (with partial match? 😉 ) then have it display that one without leaving the page, it would be really sweet.

I hope that helps, and look forward to future improvements in data reporting.

Update:

We did a mistake by importing, we used the dsownloadmanager import not the wordpress import function.

But if we import the file with all downloadmanager files I have a few questions about problems which could harm new installation:

• when we import files, what whappens to the downloadmanager ids? What happens when a ID is existing for another page type in the new installation? Or are the downloadmanager ids different to the wordpress core ids?
• what else do we have to move? all .pdfs which are connected to the downloads, but –> do we have to update any permalinks or something else like this?

Maybe you could write us a “roadmap” how to move existing files to the new installation.

Thanks for your help Marc

Hi! Thanks for the response. those square boxes are the files I uploaded into the download manager and categorized. I’ll review and follow the instructions you provided and see where I end up. One thing I do not understand is where to add the short code. Do I create a new page in my site and place the short code in it?

As I dig further, do I need to create a page for each category, and then use the short code to manually add the download link every time I upload a new file?

Or is there a better way to automatically generate a page that looks like your demo pages with all the categories all nicely laid out? If not, does this mean I would create a page and simply add the short code ids for all the desired downloads I want to make public?

I also need to add I’m using the free version, not the pro version, which has add new file, not “add new package”

Thanks!

Hmm… we might be able to use that method I suppose. It would be nice if there was a way to regenerate that key automatically on a daily basis or something so that we don’t have to remember to reset it all the time.

We need a way to track the downloads and a way to revoke access when they stop being a customer. The “multiple passwords” option is almost what we need, but we can’t tell which password was used for each download in the log, so there’s no way to know who it was. Is there any way to create download links that are one-use-only?

Don’t know what happened but the download links seemed to have fixed themselves

Thanks but why did it happen and will it happen again on the next update

and my download links are wrong. They all show a “button” with the word “download” and a “play” icon (as in play a video) when they used to show either the link label I put in the package or just the word “download” as a link when there was no link label.in the package

Okay, that’s good to know. It does look like some things have changed, and I am curious if we can fix.

We have the files on this site linked out to all our other websites and when the link is clicked (on the other sites) they should be providing a direct download for our customers.

As of now they are linking to the page on this rhino applicators site: http://www.rhinoapplicators.com/download/acid-stain-tds/?wpdmdl=3625

Is there a way to get them to be direct downloads again?
