Allows you to add post meta data in Easy Digital Downloads to indicate a third party product, whether the download is a WordPress plugin and also a link for more information.
**This plugin requires Easy Digital Downloads. It allows you to add post meta data in Easy Digital Downloads to indicate a third party product as well as a link for more product information (such as a blog post or website). Finally, it adds a checkbox to indicate if the download is available in the WordPress plugin repository.
Please Note: This plugin doesn't really do anything on it's own. This plugin is for advanced users and does nothing on the front-end without writing your own custom code.
Here is what it does do:
- Adds a checkbox to the download configuration for you to indicate that a product is from a third party.
- Adds another checkbox to indicate that a product is available on the WordPress plugin repository.
- Adds a URL field for you to add an external link to a blog or website for product details or more information.
- Stores this data in the download product's post_meta data for you to access and use in your custom code.
How to use in your code:
if(get_post_meta( $post_id, 'edd_third_party', true )) {
echo 'This item is from a third party.' ;
}
if(get_post_meta( $post_id, 'edd_wp_plugin', true )) {
echo 'This item can be downloaded from WordPress.' ;
}
if(get_post_meta( $post_id, 'edd_bloglink_url', true )) {
$bloglink = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'edd_bloglink_url', true );
echo '<a href="' .$bloglink. '" target="_blank">Click for Details</a>';
}
