Search Results for 'download link'

One more question on this. I noticed that the direct download link https://site.io/download/my-file/?wpdmdl=PACKAGE_ID method will directly download the file.

Is there a different format for this URL that would not force a download, but open it in a browser tab instead? e.g. a View Link format?

Related, I see there is an ‘Open in Browser‘ option in the admin, but this doesn’t open in a new tab, it overtakes the current tab, which is not desirable. It’d be nice if this setting had an option to open the link in a new tab. Is there a way to do that?

Never mind. I think you meant “All Files”.

The URL format you provided will work. That link is a lot shorter than the Master Download link, which is very long.

That link would be convenient to have copy-able from the “All Files” page along with the shortcode.

Both of these—the shortcode and the shorter download link would be good to have on each Item’s page as well.

Thanks.

You can copy the master download link of a package from the ‘Al Files’ admin page.

What/where is the “‘Al Files’ admin page” ? Can you provide a path and/or screenshot of what you’re referring to?

The direct download link https://site.io/download/my-file/?wpdmdl=PACKAGE_ID method works, but not directly provided anywhere.

It’d be nice if the direct download link was shown/copyable on the Item’s admin page.

That’s good to know, but no, I’m talking about the actual permalink of the Download Manager item page.

I’d like to redirect it to the download media file itself, rather than the Download Manager item page.

I want to create ‘copy link’ links in the descriptions so our staff can copy the file URL to send to customers, like in this screenshot:

I created short redirects to the permalinks, but then realized the permalink goes to an item page, like this:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gowpoifsioyrgw7/Screenshot%202024-01-25%20at%201.38.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?dl=0

So, I’m looking for a way to make all the permalinks, e.g. ‘https://digitalfusion.net/download/df-print-fulfillment-services/’ link to the media file directly and not the page as it does now.

SEO plugins like Rank Math and All-in-One SEO have features to do this for the actual Media Library item pages, but it doesn’t work on these Download pages.

Does that all make sense?

Is there a template for those pages that can be edited to do this via a child theme, perhaps?

Btw, that “Open in browser” setting should have an option to open the file in a new tab/window.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
where should I insert the wpdml query parameter?

If I insert the tag [#download_url#]in my email template, when I receive the email and I click in the button, the url brings me to the pakage item and it doesn’t start the PDF file download.

Link example package

Thank you and regards

Thanks. im trying to create a new topic for another question, it doesnt allow me

The below code is pasted on function.php
It allows us to automatically send a notification via email when a visitor downloads a file from WPDM on Website.

I have pasted the below code on function.php, however, I found out that it is only able to display a single character for the field “Company” when it is sent notification email (the field is an extra field created using Advanced Custom Fields.) refer screenshot below.

i have check all the script it was fine. is there anything wrong with the core code? or bugs?

Hi,
thank you for your reply but I tried your code and the result has been the same.

This is the link that replace the tag [#download_url#] and its result.

What is the problem?

Hi Nayeem,

thank you!
It works, but I’ve a problem with the “keeping backup” part.
I followed this:

1. Changing Template Files in /plugins/download-manager/src/{ComponentDir}/views/ ( Download Manager Plugin ) dir:
Create a dir named download-manager inside your active theme dir
2, Now copy the files you want to modify from /src/{ComponentDir}/views dir to /{active-theme}/download-manager/ dir.
3. Customize template file(s) in {active-theme}/download-manager dir as per your need
4. Keep dir structure, means, a file from /src/Packages/views/link-templates dir should go to /{active-theme}/download-manager/link-templates dir.

If I do this, the change won’t work. If, however, I keep the modified file inside the plugin folder, yes. But, with the next update, the change will be lost.
Can you explain point 4 better to me? What do you mean? Or what should I do?

Best regards
