Hello @grezes71 ,
Yes, the Short Description field was removed from the Download edit page, but you can add it back by inserting the following PHP code into your theme’s functions.php file or by using the Code Snippets plugin:
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes_dlm_download', function() {
add_meta_box(
'postexcerpt',
__( 'Short Description' ),
'post_excerpt_meta_box',
'dlm_download',
'normal',
'high'
);
}, 20 );
As for your second question, at the moment there is no way to display Download Monitor custom meta fields using the [download_data] shortcode.
However, we think it’s a great idea, and we’ll be adding support for it in the next plugin update, which is planned for later today.
The shortcode syntax will remain the same. To display a custom field, simply pass its meta key to the data attribute, for example:
[download_data id="1234" data="my_custom_field"]
Thank you for giving me options. I look forward to the custom field display.
@grezes71 – the new update is out and it has what you need 🙂 Can you please test it and confirm?
Custom Field works great for me. Thank you.
