Description

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 information. Also, it adds a checkbox to indicate if the download is available in the WordPress plugin repository.

Please Note: The plugin doesn't really do anything on it's own. It 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.

Example of how to call the data 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>`;

}

Translated Languages Available

I was having some fun after upgrading to the pro version of Poedit so I attempted to add Spanish, German, French and Russian translations. I used Google translate and I'm curious to see how it turned out. Please let me know! If you'd like to contribute a translation or report on a poor translation attempt, please let me know on the support forums.

Otherwise, the plugin supports American English by Default... Also supports Canadian, British, Scottish, Irish, Australian and a few others (that's a joke)
