Subscribe & Download

Posted by Ivan Churakov on July 19, 2012

Subscribe & Download is a plugin that allows to distribute files through subscriptions. If people want to download something from your website or from third party websites they must submit their contact details. After submission they receive download link by e-mail. Very simple workflow. All submitted data is saved in database or can be sent to MailChimp or/and iContact newsletter system. All saved data can be exported as CSV-file to be used with any other newsletter systems. Subscribe & Download is a perfect way to extend functionality of your website.

Installation

1. Install and activate the plugin like you do with any other plugins. Once activated, it will create a menu “Subscribe & Download” in left side column in the admin area.

2. Click left side menu “Subscribe & Download >>> Settings” and do required settings. Set your payment gateways parameters, e-mail address for notifications, e-mail template, MailChimp/iContact parameters, etc.

3. Go to any post/page edit page and insert shortcode like that:
[sdfile url=”http://download-link-goes-here”]
[sdfile url=”http://download-link-goes-here” title=”New Intro content goes here.”] – overload intro content by inserting attribute “title”.
[sdfile url=”http://download-link-goes-here” narrow=”1″] – display narrow opt-in form.

That’s it! Enjoy using the plugin.

It would be nice to be able to add a custom tex above the input boxes. For eample: “Complete your name and email to receive this free dowload (check your spam folder)…”

Are you planning to add it? I can pay to have that feature!

Thanks!

  Hi. I’ve already added this feature. 🙂

Good!…I can see it now in your demo.

1) Can you paste some shortcodes examples to view how to do add text above input boxes?

2) Will this plugin has any antispam feature? Will I receive a lot of spam emails?

Thanks! (I will buy it tomorrow)

  Hi. You can set this text using 2 ways:
  1) On plugin settings page (see parameter “Intro” on screenshot above).
  2) Through shortcode like: [sdfile url=”http://download-link-goes-here” title=”New Intro content goes here.”]
  
  This plugin doesn’t need spam protection, because 1) This is not html-form (it is two separate input fields, not combined into form), so robots can’t find and submit this form. 😉
  2) Data is submitted through AJAX with additional parameters, which are not available in input-fields.
  In couple words – for robots there is nothing to submit.
  
  PS: This plugin is waiting for approval from CodeCanyon staff. 🙂

You are awesome!

You shuold add a new box to be able to edit the “Download link was sent to email@.com” Lot of us need to translate that text to other language or show a different success message. If it is not possible, tell me if it can be translated with CodeStyling Localization plugin or the filename where to hardcode it.

I will buy many of your plugins soon but I need this one now. Can I pay with PayPal or only from CodeCanyon? (how long does it take approval?)

Thanks! 😉

  Hi. The item was approved. Good idea about “Download link was sent to email@.com”. Probably I will include it into future ToDo list. For now you can edit this string in main php file (line # 577). Plugin is also translation ready, so if you know how to create .po and .mo files you can create your own translation (you need to put two files like subscribedownload-fr_FR.po and subscribedownload-fr_FR.mo them into folder “language”).

I am buyer now & I am using it!

When I try to do translation with CodeStyling Localization plugin, I get this error:

“The translation file folder is ambiguous, please select by clicking the appropriated language file folder or ask the Author about!”

But no plugin folder has any po an mo file. It seems that it needs at least an initial english po and mo ???

Thanks!

  Hi. Thanks for purchasing. You can generate such file by yourself using Poedit.

  PS: I will include generated file into next release.
