Thank you for the clarification. But I’m disappointed. I really don’t understand why you link users to a OneDrive account. I mean, they just need to download a file without the need to know where the file is hosted. As a matter of fact this leads to security issues because the Admin’s OneDrive account can be hacked. On the other hand, why users should have a OneDrive account?
This addon is completely illogical. I’m sorry to say that but you should revise it completely. 🙂
I thank you for the solution. Now the button hooks to OneDrive and I can associate a file to a new post/download.
There’s only one problem: when a user clicks on the download link he’s redirected to OneDrive account. Is this how’s supposed to be? Because I think that the user should just get the file instead of going to the Admin’s OneDrive account.
I purchased wpdownloadmanager pro special yesterday morning and have spent the best part of two days trying to get files to download to no avail. I have checked php log files, apache log files and do not see any errors.
This works and the file will download successfully. (Albeit I will block direct links later – but left open for testing purposes).
Obviously viewing the directory is blocked (https://www.mysite.com/secret-folder/) from directory listing.
secret-folder is currently (temporarily) set 755 since it’s not working via. the plugin and I want to rule any problems out.
secret-folder has been set with chown -R apache:apache /full/path/to/secret-folder
public_html/ has been set with chown -R apache:apache /full/path/to/public_html
All my other plugins work and I see no errors working in the admin control panel with WP Download Manager…
I can find and attach the files within the browser in the package page. It even shows the file size correctly, so it is reading the file, but whenever one clicks Download on it’s page, nothing happens. No errors. Nothing. I have spent about 15+ hrs trying to debug this to no avail 🙁
I can give both admin wp-admin access and also SSH access if needed. I just want to be able to download files successfully via. plugin I bought.
I did find that one of the issues was spaces in the filename. That has been corrected.
Re: downloading, it makes no sense to me that clicking download will lead me to a page where the file is played by my browser. That doesn’t seem to be an S3 issue (maybe it is?)
I’m not confused about icons or link templates. This makes sense to me.
What doesn’t make sense is that in one scenario, I can click on “play” to play a file, and in another that option does not appear. This is for .mp3 files that are both on S3.
Download Manager redirects user to S3 file when download button is clicked. WPDM can’t control they way file is served. You have to add file locally if you want the download button to download file (mp3) on click Download button. There might be some option in S3 to show download link instead of playing it.
You can set package icon when bulk importing packages. Put the icon url under icon column in csv file. You can also set icon from package settings. It looks like you have some confusion about link template. Please let me know if you have any specific question about templates.
Error in some packages are being caused by an extra space in generated download link. One possible reason, maybe some other plugin modifying output. Try disabling other plugins to be sure. However, We will check thoroughly in our code, if there is any issue found, i will let you know and release an update soon.
I wanted to share this even though this is an old thread — in case someone else is looking for this solution (like I was).
I did not find a way to do this within the tool, but it is pretty easy to do if you are willing to edit the wpdm-extended-shortcodes plugin. I normally would never recommend updating a plugin like this (because any change will be lost when the plugin is updated), but it was an emergency for me and may be for you…
Open the wpdb-extended-shortcodes.php file
Find the wpdm_embed_tree() function and scroll down toward the bottom of that function (in the version I’m using (2.6.0), this is around line 470).
and edit it to look like this: “a href='” . get_permalink(get_the_ID()) . “?wpdmdl=”.get_the_ID().”‘ rel='” . get_permalink(get_the_ID()) . “?wpdmdl=”.get_the_ID().”‘”
Basically, you’re just adding “?wpdmdl=[the post ID]” to each link.
NOTE: this will likely NOT work with login-protected downloads (there should also be a nonce that is not being included) but if you are just offering publicly accessible files, it should be fine.
It also seems like this would be a fairly easy update that could be made an option in the tool (hint… hint…).
Hi, yes i see, the problem is when i go to the startpage “www.dosspiele.eu” on this site all correct left sidebar the RED download buttons are there. all ok, when i click on the link CROWDFOUNDING in the menu the Download button left side changes on its own in BLUE Download buttons. And i dont now why.
Link Template code is wrapped inside w3eden class to apply plugin specific css. code inside w3eden comes from link template. You can create custom link template from Downloads Templates page.
I have difficulties activating the OneDrive add-on.
In the backend settings, in the addon list, the “download and install” links are not working because the modal window appears for a second then disappear. It’s not even possible to set up via OneDrive account as per your tutorial because, once the App is generated on my Hotmail account, nothing appears in WP backend dashboard.
Please clarify.
I purchased the WordPress Download Manager Special Pack which has the directory addon listed, but I do not see it listed in the download. this is what I got.
Empty Categories – Frontend Upload shows all categories. I have checked your installation. You are using custom templates there. If you did not do it,maybe some other guy customized it. In default templates upload page shows all categories.
Tags – You can use Directory addon to show all tags. Each tag link to their archive page. We will add more features soon to make tags more accessible.
Is it possible setting the PRO version up, so one can view the file online, instead of forcing downloading the file? Maybe via a shortcode for “link to the actual file”, via the settings (where I cannot seem to find such a thing), or via a plugin.
In Side Bar view, if a user is not allowed to download a file, is it possible for them not to see the file in the first place?
Tree view seems to do this to some extent. It allows a role to see a folder they are not supposed to have view rights for (why?) but at least it doesn’t show any files as being visible.
Side Bar view on the other hand allows the person to see the file exists but when you ask to download it tells you you do not have access rights.
How can such files be hidden in the first place from such a user?
My shortcode is:
[wpdm-archive cat_view=”sidebar” button_style=”info” link_template=”link-template-panel.php” order_by=”post_title” order=”asc” items_per_page=”10″]
When I view the category sidebar widget it shows how many docs in each category however when I click on the link it returns a blank page. I have noticed the link in the display page works but is a different link than the sidebar widget
1. Clone any link template, then paste this code in coding area.Set a name for this custom link template.
2. Save the template.
3. When inserting shortcode use this templates id as link template. ( Use tinyMCE addon to insert shortcode, you will find this link custom template in dropdown )
