Topic: remove download link
Hi,
I have two download links (one is a button (I want to leave this one) and the other is a link and when you click on it appears to write the password and to download the file). Well, I would like to remove that link.
How can I do it?Thanks so much.
It staggers me that for a plugin with the word “Download” in it, there actually isn’t a download section on the site. Instead, you have to bizarrely navigate to your account dashboard and then click on the latest “Completed” order id and then click on a Download link. After all that, it only lets you download the very latest version! Unless you meticulously keep a copy of every single zip you download (and you might miss some because it’s not easy to know there’s a new version), this means there’s no way to roll back to any previous version easily.
The siite *desperately* needs a download archive section where every version you have ever been entitled to (including expired subscriptions, which crazily don’t let you download any version at all from what I can see, despite you probably being entitled to several releases under that expired subscription’s period).
Topic: Homebrewing auto-updates
Download Manager Pro doesn’t show any indication in the WP admin interface that there’s a new version available, which is extremely poor, particularly if the new version has security fixes. In fact, the lack of auto-updates of Download Manager Pro is utterly appalling and a major security risk, so I’m going to have to “homebrew” my own way of doing auto-updates.
Firstly, I’m going to need to know what the latest version of Download Manager Pro is – my best guess is to scrape this page:
http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/category/blog/new-release/
and look for the earliest line with “WordPress Download Manager Pro vX.Y.Z released” and extract the version from that. This seems extremely crude – is there a better way to get the latest version programmatically?
Once a new version is detected, it looks like I’ll have to screen scrape with curl to get to the latest zip file in my account:
* Login to Download Manager site
* Go to http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/purchases/
* Get the top (“Completed”) Order id line and follow the link
* Grab the Download link for the download-manager-X.Y.Z.zip file (may also need to get License key here)
* Logout from Download manager site
* Copy the zip file onto the server I want to update
* Run a sequence of WP-CLI commands as necessary:
– Deactivate old plugin (if present and activated)
– Delete old plugin (if present)
– Install new plugin
– Activate new plugin
– Add license key if needed (not sure how you do this step!)
* Do some post-upgrade tests (home page HTML OK, returns code 200 etc.)
* Rollback using an old zip file/license key if there’s a problemIt does seem to be a total pain in the backside to have to handcode this (and if the Download Manager site gets reworked, things will fail) – there *really* ought to be better way than this – an auto-updater plugin (which I see was around in 2011, but gone now) or something. I can auto-update all the other free and paid plugins I have installed in our WP sites…except for Download Manager Pro – arrgh!
Topic: Social Locks :/
Social locks are not working…
1. LinkedIn share button does absolutely nothing.
2. Google +1 button begins to open a window, but then it mysteriously closes.
3. Tweet reliably works, but it puts in extra text automatically like e.g. ‘via @w3eden’ (not something I would expect form a paid plugin).
4. Facebook like reliably works.It also takes a considerable amount of time for all the share options to display. At times some of the share options are not correctly displayed e.g. only LinkedIn and Google are showing but the other two are missing. In cases like this you are forced to refresh the page and ‘hope’ that it corrects itself (sometimes it does, and sometimes you get a different combination of those that do and do not show).
I get the same results on the your site demo. Please help.
Example: http://docs.chejunkie.com/download/download-vba-amoeba-class/Hi, we are using All Packages shortcode. It is showing a “Download” link as it should.
But we would like to change it to a “View” or “Open file” link instead, that opens the file in a new window or tab. So people either can just look at the PDF and then close it, or if they wish to they can download it themself (save pdf file).I saw in another thread your suggestion to “Open PDF in new tab”: In case of public download you can edit link and page template, use [link_label] instead of [download_link]
Can we use the same solution with All Packages?What will happen with the download counter? Will it count files that are opened in a new window, just as if they were downloaded?
In detail:
if you look at this page http://www.bastec.se/products/operatorspanel/ It is showing a “Download” link (“Ladda ner” in swedish) as it should. I would like to change “Ladda ner”/Download to View/Open file. But when they click on a file NAME they should still get linked to the file SINGLE page with more info. And on a SINGLE page like http://www.bastec.se/download/bas2-op-t440-operatorspanel-datablad/ there could still be a normal Download link, or will that change to if we change it on the first page?/Lea
