I have just upgraded from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2, and the link template I am using in widgets is now displaying a set of characters for each document rather than a download: 4f7bed9f33eee.
The link template I am using on pages still works fine.
It was suggested I add the code below to my css (I assume style.css for my wp theme). I tried that but users still need to click on the “link label” to reveal the download methods.
code added:
add css in your css file:
.wpdm-drop-box{ display: block; }
Another issue unfortunately. When I use ‘Enable Facebook Like Lock’ the pop up appears with the requested information when clicking the link. But in that screen nothing happens when the Download link is clicked. Example link: http://www.urbanlisp.com/?p=1264
By deleting “/plugins/download-manager/cache/” there was an essential change in the display of the link. I also confused [thumb] and [icon]. Thanks for the help.
It all depends on link template. Create link template with proper tags.
[title] tag will show title [thumb] will show the thumbnail of main preview image (you need to upload main preview image with pacakge, otherwise it will show the placeholder camera image).
wow. we did it as we got tons of request for that :). But if you want to revert it as it was before, you need to edit functions.php, line #171 ,
replace
return $loginform;
One more issue unfortunately. When I use the default link template it shows the proper icon for the button. When I change to a custom template the button is showing as question mark as it can’t seem to find the picture for the button. What could be the problem?
I’m sorry, I’m a little confused: It seems the free icon set link you sent is just the main page for that packet using the Download Manager Page Template. Am I mistaken?
What I’d like to do is be able to use this template in a different section of my website, like a blog post. IE: put the [file-list] paramater in the Download Manger Link Template -or- be able to use the Download Manager Page Template on a separate page/post.
Btw, This is when using the Admin section File Manager Add New File.
When I use this to create a download with Password or Login and Download Counter Option and then use the Embed Code in a post the post link shows what i stated above.
Thank you for your quick reply. Is it also possible to make resume support and download links available to users only not the visitors/guests, but visitors/guests get temporary download links which expire after specific time ? or some more advanced like adding the IP download limit per day by bandwidth not by the total number of downloads for example visitors can only download 1 GB of data per day . and the limit resets itself after the day. or something more productive ? any help ?
yes, please goto wp admin users
if your mouseover on each user row then you will see a new link, users stats, with other user action like edit, delete.
I spent the last day going through ths and think I have the sequence figured. Wanted to to see if this was possible:
1.) User goes to a blog post. The summary is there . but in that is a link to a PDF with more information
2.) If the user is logged in, then they can click the link ( already in your program)
3.) If the user is already a subscriber, then they can login and the download link will be active now) ( already in your program)
4.) If they are not a subscriber, they will need to go to a gravity form ( can we load it in ajax?) to register and it then logs them in.
Is there a way to embed the gravity form into your software so that they can register on the same page and not have to go back to do the download?
