• Is there a way to have separate groups of download options on the same page? I have a form with 15 file options (user can select some or all), and I would like to better organize them under headings. I would still want the user to only have to enter their information one time.

    Thanks-love the plugin!

  • No, there’s not really any way to do that. You can do 1 form with the 15 downloads listed and a checkbox next to each one. That would be like one big group though. Or, you could do more than 1 form on the same page, which would let you group the downloads, but you’d have multiple forms & submit buttons on the page. Not really any way to do exactly what you want…

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    Have you heard of any other solutions (paid, even) that would do something like this?
    Thanks so much, and love this plugin!

    I don’t know of anything that does what you’re wanting to do.

    If you know PHP you could edit email-before-download.php to accomplish what you’re after. It would be some work. The plugin authors rarely update the plugin, and when they do they usually don’t change too much, so if you did change your copy and then later they released a new version, it would probably not be much work to incorporate their changes back into your version (you’d do some diff’ing and such).

    That said, wading through the code and figuring out which parts do what isn’t that much fun. Long ago I made some changes to the way the files are displayed with checkboxes next to them so that there would be a description (like a block of text) underneath each one that gave additional info about it. It’x not terribly complicated, but it’s not exactly simple either … you’d need some time and programming experience to incorporate my changes (particularly since I think a new version has come out since I wrote that so the line numbers I refer to may be off by a line or two .. maybe). Anyway, my changes don’t get you what you want, but using my changes you could figure out how to do it I think (with some effort .. might not be that easy, not sure). Anyway, you can read through this entire item and you’ll see what I mean: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-custom-formats-when-displaying-multiple-files-to-select-from/
