Hmmm… I tried replacing all 3 links mentioned with that code and I’m not seeing any change:

line 199:

<figcaption class="caption"><a href='<?php echo site_url("/?wpdmdl={$file->ID}"); ?>'><?php echo $file->post_title; ?></a></figcaption>

line 233:
<figcaption class="caption"><a href='<?php echo site_url("/?wpdmdl={$file->ID}"); ?>'><?php echo $file->post_title; ?></a></figcaption>

line 415:
echo "<li class=\"file ext_$ext\"><a href='".site_url("/?wpdmdl={$file->ID}")."' rel='".get_permalink(get_the_ID())."'>".get_the_title()."</a></li>";

Am I missing the specific place where this should be entered?

Thanks,

Could you tell me what file(s) in the download manager generates the code for wpdm tree? Or has the template? I could get started there.

#1. Thanks! I tested it and now see all the files in each category.

#2. Hmmm… The problem with the csv file is it would take a lot of time to set it up for each group of files since I’m dealing with so many files. To make it efficient I would need a way to automatically grab the file names for each set of files and dump them into an excel column to structure the csv with. The alternative is manually adding each file name to the csv file, which would take way too much time. If I went through that trouble then I’d be better off manually adding each dash to each file with the normal import. It would be nice if the Bulk Import automatically kept the structure of the file names (keeping dashes and dots) but its not a deal breaker. I think I’m just going to leave out all the dashes since this is only a small problem.

#3. This one is pretty important. Could you direct me to where I can make this change? The direct download option for the wpdm tree would greatly increase its user-friendliness.

Thanks,

Sorry about that, the account is now activated. You should be able to login now.

Shaon,

1. I’m surprised I didn’t catch that, sorry about that one. its pretty obvious when looking at the settings in detail. I think some info should be included in the Download Manager documentation for short-codes: front-end UI because I was under the impression that it would work out of the box. Maybe something like: “You must set a user role before being able to use the Front-End UI. Navigate to Downloads > Settings > Frontend > Front-end UI Settings > Allowed User Roles to Create Package From Front-end to set user roles.” I would also recommend some sort of error message that shows up when no user role is set instead of just a pink box.

2. I think when I was originally testing the wpdm tree I wasn’t seeing anything because it wasn’t showing single packages that I uploaded. It only seems to show packages added from the bulk import. So It was probably working after I did the bulk import. Glad that it is up and running.

3. Yes, the /download-manager/cache/ was set to 755 permissions. Once I set it to 777 the .CPGZ File Issue has been resolved. Thanks! I do think you should include something prominent on your Installation instructions that says that directory needs to be writeable in order to avoid this issue. I did see other users with this problem as well.

Just trying to help make things more clear so not as many people will be wasting your time like I probably did a bit of 😉

Thank you very much for your help,
Mike S
