WP-DownloadManager / Re: Download icon(s): feature suggestion

« on: 18 November 2007, 03:24 »

Could this same approach be used to include a small flash
player in the event that an audio file is detected? I have
the player found here:

It would be super cool, but I'm not qualified to determine
if replacing icons based on file prefix would be in the same
league as inserting the player... the context for usage is
[audio:URL]

WP-DownloadManager / Download Stats (Outside WP Loop)

« on: 24 July 2007, 15:31 »

Let me quickly explain my scenario:

I have a brother-in-law that I'm helping with a website. He is a teacher. He wishes, among other things, to share
notes from the classes with students. Each class will have it's own page. I suggested he upload class notes within a
category that bears the class name. I have a link to the files within that category working fine, but am at a loss as
to adding a full listing of files within the category. Your Usage instructions provide the code, but WordPress will not
allow me to insert the code into a page. It converts it to something "else". What's the catch to adding this:

Code: [Select]

<?php if (function_exists('get_downloads_category')): ?>
   <?php get_downloads_category(5,20); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
to a WordPress Page?

EH, it is not a bug after looking through my code. You did not update your Download Page URL under WP-Admin -> Downloads -> Downloads Options

I really didn't understand what to put in that field. I just had an AH-HA! moment and it's working. I was trying to copy
something you had put in another post. Thanks for your patience. It's working now!

WP-DownloadManager / Re: Download Path vs. Download Page URL

I have a link to the downloads page that looks like this:

http://www.nowtrentonspeaks.com/rob/?page_id=5

and it works great. It shows all files, all categories.

For some reason that I cannot get my head around (surprise, surprise!)
links to specific categories return a page not found error.

you can directly link if you downloaded the plugin from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-downloadmanager/

The link url would be http://www.yoursite.com/downloads/?dl_cat=1 where 1 is the ID

Example: http://www.lesterchan.net/wordpress/downloads/

Your above example does not work for me.    I'm not WordPress savvy enough to
understand whether the /downloads/ part is symbolic, so should
that directory really exist on my server?

I saw that, and not being used to WordPress didn't notice the difference between Write Page and Write Post. I had
used your instructions in a Post, but not a Page. Thanks again!

WP-DownloadManager / Download Path vs. Download Page URL

« on: 16 July 2007, 00:07 »

I usually have alot of luck figuring these sorts of things out, but it's taking me aawhile to get up to speed
with all the WordPress stuff.

I understand Download Path (I think?), it's the actual location where the files are stored. But what is the
Download Page URL? Do I create the downloads directory manually? When I click total it gives me a 404
error, although file down links work just fine.

Thanks for your hard work! (and patience with us!)

I have the beta from your site. Is that a bad thing?

I just Deactivated the beta and downloaded/Activated using the link you posted above... it's even worse now! =]

Bummer!

WordPress 2.2.1
Hosted on godaddy.com (Linux / mySQL 5.0)

Plugin activates and I can upload files, but I have yet to have one download properly via the download link.
I have tried different permalink settings, updated multiple times, and sometimes I get 404 error when I click
a download link, other times it just reload the main page. Files are on the server.

I was REALLY excited when I found this. Helping a relative get a website going and this is exactly what we
needed!

Thanks for all your efforts!

Oh I don't know if it'll help to see the bahavior, but the URL is:
