Hi, I would like to have the ability to create Mirror Links for the same file. So, if one download link is broken or the server is down users can try the mirror link. Is there any way to achieve this? If so please guide me.
If you already embedded the video in package details page, please follow the following steps:
Go to Admin Menu Templates Link Templates
Clone current link template
Replace [download_link] with <a href="[page_url]">[link_label]</a>
Save as new link template and use the new link template with your shortcode
But if you want to play the uploaded video with the package instead of download it, go to wpdm settings, check the option “Open in Browser” and Save settings.
#1. Replace get_the_date() with get_the_modified_date( )
#2. Replace the_permalink() with wpdm_download_url(get_the_ID()), but this only will work if package is public, no lock option is applied.
Occasionally, one of my packages is a link to an embedded video. When I do this, I want to change the “Download” button’s behavior so that it doesn’t link to a file, but instead just opens the package’s page so the embedded video can be viewed.
How can this be managed?
Here’s a screenshot of a video package where I would like to change the “Download” button to read “View Video”, for example, and the link behavior should do the same thing as clicking the title of the package.
This seems to work okay, but the widget links are taking me to an info page for the documents. Can I bypass that and make the links instantly download the document/open it in browser?
Actually, no limitation in code, no session or download link expiration as many many thousands users server GB size files without trouble. You said pause and resume multiple times and it works in that way, which indicates, it is an issue with servers’ PHP execution timeout. If you can’t resolve it from server support and also don’t want to get AWS, the alternative solution is, attaching files as URL from the same server.
It is not possible to use Link Template in all downloads table. Yoy can use Directory add-on for this purpose. It show list of downloads in various ways and has link template support.
i have a problem with search bar. I have installed “Download Manager Pro” and “WPDM Directory Add On”.
I’ve create a page with this code:
[wpdm-archive category=”199″ cat_view=”extended” button_style=”primary” link_template=”58dc017308a92″ order_by=”date” order=”asc” items_per_page=”10″]
This work fine, show the subacategories and documents, and when i do a click in some subcategorie show the documents.
The problem is with the search bar. When i search te term “Acuerdo” the answer is “No download found!” but i have many documents with this word in the title and in the description.
Now when i do the same search but i change the field “Order by” to “View Count” then the search works fine.
Then if i search with the field “order by” in “Title” don’t work but in “View Count” works fine.
Don’t work: 1. Title, Publish Date, Last Updated.
Works fine: View Count, Download Count, Package Size,
Is it possible to customise the ‘Download’ link within wpdm-all-downloads.php ?
I’d like to use one of the ‘Link Templates’ if possible – e.g. – link-template-calltoaction3
Yes, download count increased by 1 after my download. So, everything is okay there.
The first green button is single file download link. If you have multiple files each file can be downloaded using those links.
The last download link downloads the whole package. If you have multiple files those will be downloaded as a single zip file. If you want you can disable single file download link from package settings.
2. When your use this shortcode [wpdm_package id='7623'] it uses Link Template from your package settings to show the output. You can use a custom link template to make a customized output ( eg. remove the download button ). Build you custom link template from Downloads Templates page. Here you will find docs about custom link template https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/
Download working fine in my test, 1) when lazy download is disabled, 2) lazy
1) when lazy download is disabled. Downloads as usual.
2) lazy download is enabled, download works after waiting time.
Your issues might be related to browser settings. If your browser blocks popup link, download won’t work. You will see a popup blocked notification like following screenshot.
