@Jasonptank: I probably confused things with my question about the “master key”. It appears in the package information page, so I was making assumptions about how to use it (in my original post).

But now that Shaon responded, I can see that it’s also part of the link that he showed us how to get in the screenshot. So it is definitely being used, it’s just “already there” when you grab the link in the way he suggests.

If you’re getting a “not available” error message, then I suspect you have some other problem. Maybe you should post a thread of your own so the WPDM team can address your issue directly.

Hm, I wrote a reply to this, but I guess I never posted it. :\

The URL in my previous post (private) demonstrates the problem. It had the wrong template applied when you last looked at it, but I’ve fixed that. You can now see 3 downloads in the package.

I just re-uploaded those files today, and tested again. I now get 3 blank documents. They do go through the process of downloading (so the error message is gone) but the files are empty.

Thanks for checking into it. 🙂

Thank you, Shaon — as they say, a picture paints a thousand words. 🙂

Wow, thank you Shaon. I would have spent ages trying to track that down. Whatever you did…will I have to re-do it when the plugin is updated, or is it in the child theme’s function.php, or ?? I just want to be sure I don’t lose it track of it.

This one. Sorry for not being clear. 🙂

Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem. I selected a PDF file to test with, set to public access (anyone with the link can view) and then added to my package. When I click the download link, I still get ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH.

I spoke too soon…I think you were not editing the template, you were testing the Google Docs thing. Sorry about that! I got confused when I was editing the template, and suddenly my preview was showing a different package. The preview seems to default to the last item viewed. Feel free to work on the Google issue. 🙂

I think we are both editing the template…perhaps we should stop before we create a monster. 😉

Ok, great! Thanks so much for the additional information. It is greatly appreciated. 🙂

Could this have anything to do with the fact that I am trying to use files that are located on a Google Apps for Business domain?

HI Shaon,

Thanks for your efforts — you definitely got rid of the duplicate button. However, the look I wanted was what I had set up with my other template. I had modified another existing template, and ended up with two download links….and now, I can’t figure out what was wrong with it, to cause the duplicate. What I really need is a fix to the template I made, not a new template to modify (and perhaps ruin).

Can you please look at my template code here, and see what is wrong with it?

<div class="panel panel-default">
    <div class="panel-body">
<div class="media">
    <a class="pull-left" href="[page_url]">

    </a>
    <div class="media-body">
    <h4 class="media-heading" style="padding-top: 0px;border:0px;margin: 0px;height: 20px;overflow: hidden">[page_link]</h4>
[excerpt_160]
    </div>
</div>
</div>
    <div class="panel-footer"><div class="pull-left" style="line-height: 30px;"><i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;" class="icon icon-download-alt"></i> </div>  <div class="pull-right">[download_link]</div><div style="clear: both"></div></div>
</div>

Got the new Google Drive update…..deactivated and deleted the old version, uploaded the new version and activated it…when I try to connect, I get an error message saying “the API developer key is invalid”. Tried re-saving my Cloud Storage settings in WPDM, that didn’t help. I haven’t changed the API key or anything else on that side of things…any idea what’s wrong?

Thanks Shaon. Can you tell me what you did to change things? Was it my custom template or something else? I just would like to know what I’m dealing with … an error on my part, or some incompatibility in my theme, or whatever. Thanks!

This seems like a very basic capability, to be honest. I realize this is a tremendously powerful program for a very low price, and for that I am very grateful. And I know that many users will complain no matter how “cheap” the cost is. I’m not one of those folks. But I do think, in this case, that having to pay for custom programming or for an add-on for something as basic as filtering one additional field is a little “unfair” to those of us who paid for the plugin in the first place.

We can already display all the results of a single category with a shortcode, with a multitude of different parameters. Adding one more (i.e., tags=”x,y,z”) seems like it should have been done in the first place, not something we should have to pay extra to get added in to an existing shortcode.

Perhaps I am blind to the amount of effort involved in this, so forgive me if that’s the case….and I realize that you are hard at work building other awesomeness into this plugin already, all of which does not go unnoticed….but my cursory understanding of the code suggests that it’s not a complex thing to implement. So perhaps you can elaborate on what all needs to be done, so we can try to sort it out ourselves? Maybe we can do this with a custom query of some sort, rather than paying for additional coding.

Thanks 🙂

I granted Administrator access to the site….did you mean SuperAdmin in the Network? I’ve granted that now, as well. Thanks.

+1 for this request! Documentation needs to be updated.

I did manage to figure it out — the trick is to look carefully at the screenshots provided in documentation, and then compare those to the various screens and options in Google. They are in a completely different order, but you can get the three pieces of information you need for set up…eventually 🙂

Hi again,

I haven’t found any further information about this add-on on your site, so I’m wondering if the features were wrapped into an existing add-on (perhaps one that I don’t use yet, such as the ecommerce add-on(s)?

Would really appreciate an update, as my company really needs to use this feature. Thanks!

That’s great to hear!

I just noticed something else….

If I select both “Download Link” and “Package Size” I get those two displaying in a graphical element below the description….but ALSO in plain text as part of the description (same redundancy as mentioned above).

If I did want these displayed in plain text (which should be a separate option, not combined with the graphical display) I would be disappointed in the appearance: There is no space in between them.

Screenshot attached.

1) There should be a space between KB and Download.
2) Download should be a link
3) We should not see both text and graphical representation of the same information, without the option to switch one of them off.

Thanks 🙂

Hello WPDM folks!

Is this add-on ready yet? If not, is there any timeline to completion? It is much needed 🙂

Thanks!!

Pretty sure you just have to use the pro version documentation, and realize that it discusses some functionality that you don’t have. I’ve been using the pro version documentation, and it’s quite helpful. Will be purchasing pro soon, but this is fine while I’m testing.

Do you guys have an estimated release date for the WPDM File Cart?
