I suppose I should have asked it in another way, with a use case.

Is it possible to use a download page template to auto-download the file? This is a common use case and delivery mechanism for software titles. Click on the download, a page opens, and a few seconds later, the software begins to download, but if it does not, there is a direct download link as a fallback.

If none of this is possible, how do I get it on the feature needs list?

I will get you admin access. I am just waiting for an approval response from the client.

I guess the frustration is that I will eventually have dozens, if not hundreds of links that will need similar treatment, as the city wants to have all of its documents available via menu, rather than on a page. While it would not be our suggestion to do it that way, those are the requirements that we have to follow.

If I have to go back and forth between screens for dozens or hundreds of links, I might as well just use direct file links in the menu, rather than download manager pro to accomplish this.

Again, I ask why there cannot be a straightforward way to accomplish this? I will send a note, but honestly, stuff like this makes me not want to recommend plugins to our development and hosting customers.

As I said before, this is on an intranet server that is not accessible from the outside world. It makes it very challenging, I understand, but that was why I was trying to get a good direction forward so long ago in this ticket. i do have a previous version of the server that is accessible, but not nearly as complete as the intranet version is today. I can turn that back on and get you credentials to that, but it will not be the same production server, so it will work as a proof of concept that will need to be duplicated in process on the real server.

The download packages were imported using the csv import (without the plugin). I specified the field names and values in columns beyond the provided built-in fields. And, it worked.

Good day Shahriar,

I thought the same things before creating this ticket and worked with their firewall group and had opened up that url and the ip associated to it, but still no go. It does gather updates and installable add-ons, but will not validate the license for some reason. Does it need a resolvable url to authenticate to? In this case, there would not be a publicly resolvable url. Would it be possible to get the verified version for this case? If it is hard-coded to a license, can you use the first one, as that is the second was just to see if it would kick-in with a different license key.

Thank you!
