Share links

  • I think I asked this before. Imagine that a user (not me) is trying to help another user. They want to find a script.

    They go here:

    https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/custom-workbook-scripts/

    The difficult thing is if they want to isolate just one of those download links to send to the other user. Ideally each fancy box should have a “share” link which goes direct to the download page. This link only needs to be visible:

    When you are listing a group of downloads
    When you have searched for downloads

    Side note:

    Why was this line-height so large? Was it caused by my theme? 

    .sdm_download_title {
    float: left;
    font-size: 24px;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 75px;
}

    I have used custom CSS to reset the line height back to normal.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    Check the following link miscellaneous-shortcodes-and-shortcode-parameters. Look for the following title Download URL That Can be Used in an Email or in a Link in the documentation.

    It might have been implemented by your theme. You can find out by carrying out a test, by testing one of WordPress default themes like Twenty Nineteen.

    Kind regards

    Thanks. But can’t we add a new attribute to the fancy short code for share? And this be built automatically in the download box? A user will have no idea wheat the download iD is or any knowledge to construct a direct download.

    I admit I could but it in the description area of the download but it might be something to think about as an optional improvement for those that need it.

    I have submitted a message to the developers to investigate further your request.

    Thank you

    Hi, At the moment we don’t have a social sharing option which is what you are looking for I believe. Since every download has a specific page for it, we assumed that the standard social sharing plugin that you maybe using on the site (which will put a sharing option for every posts and pages of your site), should do the job.

    We will look at a feature that can potentially add the social sharing option inside the fancy display template.

    Thanks. Whilst a plugin to add share links works, it is of no use when you have a list of fancy downloads and want to share a link to just one in the list.

    Thanks for considering.
