Easy Digital Downloads Featured Downloads

Aprašymas

This plugin requires Easy Digital Downloads. It’s aimed at developers/clients who need to show a list of featured downloads.

1. Provides a template tag so finely-tuned placement of featured downloads in your theme is possible.
2. Provides a shortcode which will simply list all the featured downloads, without the need to enter any IDs.
3. Provides a simple interface for managing featured downloads in the WordPress admin. A „feature download” checkbox will be added to each download edit/publish screen as well as the quick edit boxes. At a glance you’ll also be able to see which downloads have been featured on your website from the main download listing.

Shortcode Usage

Add the „featured” attribute to the existing [downloads] shortcode provided by Easy Digital Downloads:

[downloads featured="yes"]

Template Tag Usage

The following code can be used to show the featured downloads anywhere in your theme:

echo do_shortcode( '[downloads featured="yes"]' );

You can include any other attributes supported by the [downloads] shortcode.

Building your own Query

To build your own query using WP_Query you can use the meta_key parameter with a value of edd_feature_download. The following example builds a simple unordered list with all the featured downloads.

<?php

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'download',
    'meta_key'  => 'edd_feature_download',
);

$featured_downloads = new WP_Query( $args );

if( $featured_downloads->have_posts() ) : ?>

    <ul>
        <?php while( $featured_downloads->have_posts() ) : $featured_downloads->the_post(); ?>
        <li>
           <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
                <?php the_title(); ?>
           </a>
        </li>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
    </ul>

<?php endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
