Mahousive update to Download Monitor (3.2)

September 4, 2009 | Published in: Out of the Blue | Tags: , , , , , 4

Today I completed the update for the WordPress Download Monitor Plugin – many tweaks, fixes, and features added. There were no changes to the database structure so people upgrading should be fine. Here is the list from the change log:

  • {user} tag added for custom formats
  • ‘autop’ option fix
  • Download page buttons applied with CSS so they are easier to customise/translate.
  • Fix for pagination bug after editing a download
  • Category output fix on edit downloads screen
  • Category urls on download page use ID rather than name to prevent errors when cats have the same names.
  • exclude_cat added to download_page shortcode
  • Localised ‘hits’ ‘date’ ‘title’ on download page
  • Option to disable the download logging
  • Read file ‘chunked’ some people found large files were corrupted so this should help (fingers crossed)
  • Added show_tags option to download page – displays x amount of tags on the download page.
  • File Browser root setting and download.php logic/mime types modified thanks to Jim Isaacs (jidd.jimisaacs.com)
  • Interface Improvements
  • Bulk edit categories, custom fields, tags, member only downloads
  • Added roles for download monitor admin – should be able to use with a role manager plugin if you want anyone other than admin to access the admin section e.g. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/capsman/
  • Change redirect after add
  • Edit Cat names/parents
  • Dedicated tags and thumbnails fields (they still use meta table though)

And yes, those category link bugs are fixed at long last, and you can edit category names finally. Phew!

    This is really great news, i am going to try the new version now. I have never been able to use your plugin because i run my site on a subdirectory but my domain is still in the root. Have you fixed this issue? Thank you for the tremendous work and for this plugin nevertheless!

    Okay first of all, I love this plugin. However, with the latest update, I have a pretty major issue… I’m using the download_page short tag to display my downloads.

    However, when I click on a download, it takes me to the page to download it except there is no link displayed to download it at all? I’m logged in as admin but I tried this with a test user. Also, same thing even if I don’t have it as a member only download.

    Just wanted to update, when I view the source, this shows up:
    <a href="http://jessicaharpfans.net/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=A+Woman+Needs" rel="nofollow">Download</a>

    However, the download link IS NOT on the page. See here:

    @J: With this version the download link is styled using CSS so first off, use firebug to see the css.

    I think if you add div.download-info p { clear:both; } it might work but you may have to play with that.

    2nd try re-saving permalink settings to fix the links.

      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.

      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.
