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!

    • Closing the Forums

      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!
