## Opis
6.x Release is Here!
After a hiatus from EBD development, a community member has reached out and partnered
with us to breathe life back into EBD! We have recently made updates to fix issues
and enhance capabilities of EBD. Stay tuned for more to come in EBD v6.x and above!
Email Before Download (EBD) presents your users with a form where they submit information,
like their name and email address, prior to receiving a download. This plugin integrates
with the popular [Contact Form 7](http://bit.ly/dNzVJd) and [WordPress Download Monitor](http://bit.ly/ifff4y)
plugins, allowing you to create any form you like and manage/monitor your file downloads.
You can also EXPORT a list of users that have downloaded files from the plug-in's
settings page. Prior to installing Email Before Download, please confirm each of
the dependent plugins is already installed and working independently.
As an option, you can configure Email Before Download to:
1. Display a link to your file directly under the contact form once it is submitted.
This happens dynamically, inline of your post/page.
2. Send the user an email with a link and/or attachment to download your file.
3. Both #1 and #2

Settings” to configure.
## ČPP
### Can I see a list of download requests people have made?
Yes. We store a log of the form submissions and generated links. You can view and
export a CSV file of them from the Email Before Download settings page in your admin
screens.
### What if I don't use the Contact Form 7 and/or Download Monitor Plugins?
You will not be able to use this version of Email Before Download without these
dependent plugins. If you have specific reasons to avoid using the dependent plugins,
please contact us and let us know the reason so we can take it into consideration.
### Anything special I need to do with my contact form?
If you decide to configure the Email Before Download option to send the user an
email with a link to the download, then you will want to name the email field “your-
email” as shown in the example screenshots. Outside of that, nothing special.
### What happens after the user completes the form?
By default, the user is presented with a link or links to download their file(s).
There is also an option to email the user (with a link to the file and/or attachment)
if you choose that route. You can even provide both the inline link as well as the
email if you choose.
### Are you changing any of my file or directory permissions?
WordPress allows direct access to files in your upload directories using a direct
URL and we do not change those permissions. We do provide an option to mask the
URL to your downloads if you have cURL enabled.
### What are the available shortcode options?
This is the list of all short code attributes that can be used. Some of them override
the global admin settings.
* download_id – either one single download id from WordPress Download Monitor,
or a comma separated list of such ids, eg. ‘1,2,3’
* contact_form_id – Contact Form 7 ID. Overrides default contact for id from settings
if used.
* title – this attribute overrides the title from Download Monitor. if multiple,
put them in a comma separated list in the same order as your download_ids.
* file – use to point to external url
* delivered_as – possible values: “Send Email”, “Both”, “Inline Link”
* attachment – “yes”, “no” Attachments only work if files were uploaded with Download
Monitor.
* force_download – any value that is passed considered as “yes” (we don't have
a global menu item for that) only works with a single download_id.
* checked – Loads form with item checked. If you are using checkboxes and have
multiple items, the will all be checked, Accepts “no”, any other value is “yes”
* hide_form – “yes”, “no”
* radio – “yes”, “no”
* from_email – valid email address
* from_name – any alphanumeric string
## Recenzije
### [fatal error message](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-message-202/)
[wiseupmarketing](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wiseupmarketing/) 23. Jula 2024.
Unfortunately like some of the other recent reviews, we too are now getting ‘plugin
could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error’ message. Its a shame
as it worked well when it was working on previous version of WordPress.
### [Could not install](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/could-not-install-5/)
[royaldeer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/royaldeer/) 6. Jula 2022.
Getting Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error
### [Works just fine, and support excellent](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-just-fine-and-support-excellent/)
[rjfnz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rjfnz/) 27. Maja 2022.
I had a few problems setting up, but Support quickly answered my requests for help
and got me up and running. Recommended for what it promises and what it does. Takes
a little effort to get familiar with the plugin but worth doing so.
### [Terrible Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/terrible-plugin-59/)
[silkweb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/silkweb/) 29. Aprila 2022.
I think it could be good or maybe I am completely missing something but I cannot
see how to create the links for the downloads. I fill out the info on the Email
Before Download, but nothing happens. There is zero direction.
### [PHP Errors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-errors-236/)
[jenhanni](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jenhanni/) 19. Maja 2021. 1 reply
I'm getting some serious PHP errors with the new update 6.3 I'll add them to support
