I had first misunderstood and used only a page template id. But re-read your reply, made a link template with the same content as my page template, and it worked like a charm!

Thanks a thousand-bunch! 🙂

When one uses the wpdm package download elementor component, what one can show is the link-template for the package. What I am looking at is the entire package detail (page-template) in the post, without having to navigate to another link.

Is there a shortcode to embed the entire package (page-template) view on a post?

Hei!

Any news on this?

thanks!

Please refer to the 2nd paragraph, and bullet point #3 above for very specific details of how I want to output the category results ?
(and points 1, 2, 4 for relevant links, and temp admin login url)

Tx!

Ok, will wait!

Yes, that is the file I edited to achieve the look and feel I needed (see screenshot: https://app.screencast.com/dG9nNdOyPGam0).

I have taken a backup of my changes. Hope it does not get very messy with plugin-updates!

It is sad to see that something as basic as controlling how the data is output has to go through a feature customization request.
We are a small non-profit solidarity orgnaziation. Had to really scrap from our own pockets to get the Pro version. We are in no shape to be able to commission a customization feature.

What is the correct/safe way to modify a plugin-file which can survive an update of the plugin in the future?

I spoke a bit too soon — the output of Datetime needs to be customizable. Currently it prints the complete string in ISO format and that is not ideal. https://app.screencast.com/ZyFtJ91AjCFYV

Even if it is a format that can be applied for all datetime custom fields, it is fine – but there should be some way to do it.

1. I do not want to reorder the files in the package. I want to customize “how the fields are displayed“.

What I want is a way to change the html the FileList::extended() function prints out. Hope this clarifies.

1. Datetime: I have updated to the 2.4.0 and confirm that it is working as expected, thanks!
2. URL:: This cannot be done at a template level as the link text will then be hardcoded. The correct way to do it is for 3 inputs should show up in the form for a URL field, namely: Link Text, Link URI and the target window.

In summary: the URL field needs resolution still.

regards!

Here is an FileList example display I would prefer to have: https://app.screencast.com/lqrC5okfRBVKV.
Hope this clarifies!

(without HTML tables, but simple div-s).

Thanks!

Yes, that is right. And for the moment, please use a mobile width view.

Note:

• I have removed the huge CSS you added to the page template file. I like keeping my css organized and short. I use Code Snippets for these purposes.
• The SCSS for my WPDL customizations can be found in the snippet called WPDL-custom-scss, if you need to look at the styling.

thanks!

1. Specifying custom CSS is not (and never was) the problem. I am unable to make “structural changes” to how I want the output to be — as an eg.: Is there a way I could position the thumb such that it appears as a tiny icon to the left of the name of the file, and not its own row/column. I could not achieve this with [flexbox:]order
2. So I tried editing src/Package/FileList.php::extended() to change what it prints out. When I tried replacing the div-s (that had generic col-md-x or row or mb-4) with absolutely basic HTML and clean selectors like below:

   <div id="xfilelist" class="package-file-list">
    <div class="package-file">
       <div class="pkgTitle">
         <div class="pkgThumb"><!-- php code --></div>
         <div class="pkgTitle"><!-- php code --></div>
       </div>
       <span class="pkgLink"><!-- php code --></span>
     </div>
   </div>

   The UI crashed (actually spit out the contents of the file itself, not even malformed html). I am not sure if there is any checksum you verify on the file contents, but would like to know how I can extend (or overwrite) the output of FileList.php[::extend()].

3. How do I ensure that such changes are not lost when doing a plugin update?

Do let me know, thanks!

If you offer GDrive/Dropbox/pCloud/… integrations and then say the preview will work only for files available locally on the wordpress instance, it is quite a bit of inconsistency.

I do not store my PDFs on wordpress and this is a meaningful function request on my PRO subscription, then.

Hei!

I confirm that I am able to enter the custom fields and also display them using their shortcodes.
I will elaborate on the PDF Viewer issue and another issue related to custom fields in two separate topics so you can close this topic as resolved.

thanks!

Have tried attaching a screenshot in the original post and here above, but looks like it is not working!
