Custom File Name

    Hi there,
    thanks for a great plugin!

    My use case might not be the usual but it is one. Some of the files I offer for download are hosted on GitHub or Bitbucket. Let’s take Bitbucket for example. The link to the downloads there is

    https://bitbucket.org/xxx/myproduct/downloads

    I select “Redirect to file” and enter that link into the File URL(s) field. Cool so far. Clicks on that download button are counted. But the filename displayed in any template is “downloads”, the last part of the link.

    I would love to call it “My Product” and that text to be used as the file name. I am envisioning a field “Custom file name” where I can enter that.

    Is anything like that possible? Is it maybe a good idea for a future option?

    Best regards,
    glewe

    Hey Glewe,

    I think the best thing you can do here is override one of our template files (or create a new one) and use that one for your download links. You can read more about this here: https://www.download-monitor.com/kb/overriding-content-templates/

    This way you can add a custom field to your downloads via the default WordPress custom field interface and retrieve that custom field in your custom template.

    I can’t do the actual custom coding for you but I think this should help you get there.

    I hope this answered your question.

    Kind Regards,

    Hi Barry,
    you are absolutely right. I didn’t think of that. I made a template for the Bitbucket downloads and it works perfectly.
