Download monitor gets wordpress 2.7 support and new features

December 15, 2008 | Published in: Out of the Blue | Tags: 32

Download monitor has been updated for use with wordpress 2.7. Don’t worry if you have not upgraded wordpress, it still works with 2.3+.

New features include a uploader on the write post screen (2.6+) and ‘formats’ which allow you to define formats to output the download links.

Hope you find it useful, you can get it here.

Localization files should be added soon (I’m contacting the translators now).

    Ditto on the “Invalid Add” error. My zipfile that I’m attempting to upload is only 9 MB in size. I’ve tried it with both firefox and IE6. thanks!

    Hi Mike,

    Great plugin. So far it works seamlessly here.

    I have 40+ files, so the Manage Downloads page consists of five subpages. Any chance that you could either add a search function or allow the user to specify the number of download files to display on each subpage?

    Thank you very much for your consideration.

    I just cannot get this download counter to not appear when i’m using an image.

    1. when i use this:
    [download#3#image]

    the download counter appears…

    2. so what I did was create a custom output called “universal”
    <a href="”{url}”" rel="nofollow"></a>

    3. when i do the following
    [download#3#universal]

    and the actual code appears…

    4. I’ve tried:
    [download#3#image#nohits]

    and the actual code appears…

    What am I doing wrong? And why is the counter visible by default. That should be an option to turn it on.

    Hi,

    Thanks for a great plug-in.

    Thought I’d suggest a potential bug when a wordpress blog is not served from the root directory of a blog-site. This revolves around the difference between the siteurl and the wpurl options.

    I host my blog from http://jbablog.com, but the wordpress folder is at http://jbablog.com/wp. You’re mod_rewrite rules rite to the /.htaccess file of the site, as though the .htaccess file is in /wp/.htaccess.

    The fix is actually two-fold, when wpurl is different to siteurl:
    1. use the full path for the rules: ^/wp/download/(.*)
    2. add [L] to the end of the rule, so the generic wordpress redirect doesn’t gobble the download url.

    Oh, and thank you very much for the Search download-button! If you would localize this button, it would be perfect!

    I have, by the way, added an explain.gif to the Danish zip with two Danish headers.

      Just posting to let current users know that I’m closing the forum on Blue-Anvil. This is mainly due to spam-registrations getting out of hand and being a general nuisance. I will be posting good topics as FAQ items within posts if applicable.

      Please note that you can still post and get help for my plugins/themes by posting on the wordpress.org website.

    • Show off your MiniCard!

      Are you a user of the WordPress MiniCard theme? Its been downloaded over 14,000 times so far!

      If you have used it as-is, made your own child-theme or done something creative with it, please show off your MiniCard’s in the comments, I’d love to see how the theme is being used!

    • Spam Stopper updated for WordPress 3.0

      My Spam Stopper plugin has been updated for WordPress 3.0 (version 3.1.3) – you can grab it here. Sorry this update took longer than my other plugins but this one gets less lovin’ – if you want to change that feel free to donate, spread the word, or rate it on the WordPress.org plugin page.

    • SexyBookmarks & Tr.im

      Just a notice to users of the brilliant http://www.sexybookmarks.net/ plugin by shareaholic – If you use tr.im (as I have on a few client sites) be aware tr.im has ceased operation so you may see errors on your blog or in your source code; it screwed up the background and headings on one of my blogs.

      To fix, go to sexybookmarks options, switch services in the “Which URL Shortener?” box, and tick the box to reset all short urls. Once done, your blog should return to normal.
