 * I want to use the template parameter in the shortcode to change the design of
   the listed downloads. But it doesn’t matter, which template name or number i 
   use in the shortcode, it always looks in the same way. Any ideas?
 * Best,

 * If you are trying to apply `link-template-default-ext` with category short-code,
   I missed to add it with v2.7.2, anyhow adding with v2.7.3 with in tomorrow.

 * Hey Shaon,
 * i’ve updated to 2.7.3.
 * This are the available shortcodes:
 * All link template file names:
    ◾link-template-default ◾link-template-extended
   ◾link-template-semi-ext ◾link-template-bsthumnail ◾link-template-audio
 * All page template file names:
    ◾page-template-default ◾page-template-1col ◾
   page-template-1col-ex-autdio ◾page-template-1col-flat ◾page-template-col2-il
   ◾page-template-1col-ex
 * Am I right?
 * This is my category-shortcode:
 * [wpdm_category id=”ausbildung” toolbar=”0″ order=”desc” template=”link-template-
   semi-ext”]
 * I’ve tried all (!!!) the parameters from the list above, but nothing changes.
 * Could you help me?
