Hi Tanvir, any update from the developer team?

I tried that option, but it still directly downloads the piece…doesn’t seem to be properly working. But, I don’t want to do this sitewide anyway…just for a few certain resources. Is there any way to just get the link to the PDF so I can use something like the Page Links To plugin to have those resources open directly to the PDF in a new tab just like a PDF would from the media gallery in WP.

We are using miniOrange SSO as stated before…so that login screen only lets people in who have registered first through our CAS system. The test user I provided is one that I have created in CAS and can be used to test with. Once logged in the first time, that user profile from CAS will auto-create a new WP user. You have to delete the user from the WP users in order to test it again. There should be no reason to create a fresh test user outside of the provided one.

Have you been able to get any other eyes on this? We have been struggling through this for weeks and are REALLY needing to get it solved as soon as possible.

We aren’t wanting to mix plugins to manage user roles. MiniOrange doesn’t manage users…it is just a SSO service that passes that information into the site. What we had set up a few weeks ago was working fine until the rollout of WPDM’s pending user role functionality. I have it turned off and it still is conflicting with our site. I have tried unchecking the user role as you suggested in your last update but it doesn’t save. When I refresh the page “Pending” is still selected.

I do not want to buy or add another plugin to our site. We already have user roles built out via User Role Editor that were working perfectly, so there is no reason for us to add or pay for further plugins to fix an issue that the latest WPDM update caused.

Can this issue be elevated to a higher level of support? We need to get this solved.

Can you just help me understand what the key is for the package description? It is not listed in in the function reference package data keys.

get_package_data

Wonderful. Thank you, Shahjada. Do you have any idea when that update might occur?

So there is no way to write a function to target other parts of a package that should be hidden based on package permissions? I saw this in another thread and didn’t know if there’s a way to modify it to target the body/description rather than the video player?

add_filter("wpdm_video_player_html", function ($player, $packageID, $file, $width){
    if(!WPDM()->package->userCanDownload($packageID)) $player = \WPDM\__\Messages::permission_denied($packageID);
    return $player;
}, 10, 4);

Is there an easy way to just modify this function to toggle my Pods additional field rather than the WPDM video player? I’m not a developer, so I’m not sure how to modify this to accommodate, but I feel like it should be possible to just write something that says “hide this div if the user doesn’t have permission to view this package.” That is what you have built as defaults within the plugin already, I just need to modify it to turn off a different thing than the preset.

add_filter("wpdm_video_player_html", function ($player, $packageID, $file, $width){
    if(!WPDM()->package->userCanDownload($packageID)) $player = \WPDM\__\Messages::permission_denied($packageID);
    return $player;
}, 10, 4);

Our videos must remain private on Vimeo where they are hosted, so the Youtube player won’t work. Really need an option to embed in which the player hides based on access level…just like audio files.

Any update on multiple PPT files?
