Hi there, please ignore my last question, I have managed to display the button using the single package shortcode nicely.

The email lock load and modal I would still like to customise though, I can change the buttons in the settings > user interface option, but not the purple title text etc.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Shafayet,

1. Thanks for adding that option to their email, that’s awesome!

2. I will check the permissions on my folders on the server and see what might be up.

Much appreciated.

Hi there, you’re saying ‘Okay now.’ but when I go and test it’s not working still.

Now instead of coming up with ‘Unauthorised Access’ i’m just getting a broken link instead of the package downloading.

You can go and test this on the package that I think you tested with last time, it doesn’t download the package file.

Please can you advise what the issue with this is as I need to know for future updates, I can’t have it break every time I upgrade the plugin version.

Thanks,

Ben

Sorry Shaon…when you say ‘session’ what do you mean?

Thanks,

Ben

Hi there,

I have updated my plugin version on jacobi.net to v.4.6.7.

The package page template has changed slightly from our custom one which I can fix fairly easily but now the access request doesn’t seem to be working.

The form on the package submits okay, the request shows in the admin, but when I issue a password and go to download the package it just says ‘Unauthorized Access’.

Please can you advise the issue?

Example package: http://www.jacobi.net/library/1503-hwf-presentationx/

Hey Shahriar, yeah we’re going to have an issue staying sync’d with the Box repositories due to their file names changing.

I have an idea for a customisation, do you think this would work.

1. Create a scheduled bulk .csv import that overwrites all packages once every 7 days.
2. We can run a little script that will populate the .csv file with the required fields for package name, categories, version number etc. based on Box and our server ftp sync.
3. Due to your password customisation we won’t have to worry about access details for packages.

So essentially it’s like creating a weekly sync routine.

Do you think you guys could think up something to help me out with this, we were just about to run a bulk import for 1600 packages that would have worked nicely with our previous syncing method from Box > FTP but now we found out the file names are going to change from Box we are stuck.

Let me know what you think, happy to have a Skype chat whenever you are free!

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Shaon,

Thanks for the update!

I’m glad you think my method will work okay, i’ve setup a trial set of packages and it seems to be working so far with the automated ftp update running. The next bit is going to be doing the bulk import of all the files, some of the file names are a bit crazy so should be interesting copying and pasting all of them into a bulk upload csv!

As for the approval method for access I think I might build something custom for this myself using a set of passwords that are issued manually as this might be the best way for them to manage access across the entire company.

If I have any queries with the bulk upload i’d appreciate you taking a look at my .csv file when I have it populated.

Other than that keep up the good work with the plugin and thanks for your response!

Ben.
