Downloadable Cloud Files

[vanilladev89]

Hello

I have a suggestion for a quality of life change. When creating a simple downloadable product, vendors are able to input an external/cloud downloadable link in the file field. Currently, this is the same field as uploads and that can be very confusing for users. It would be helpful if you made these separate fields or some kind of hint to vendors that they can use an external/cloud link in that field.

Thanks for your time

Hi,

Well, for this we have followed the same as WooCommerce does – https://ibb.co/L0W7Hjz

Either user may upload a file or insert a file url.

Thank You

Okay, I see your image but not sure I understand why you chose that image. I am using the multi-vendor plugin and the image you provided is the back end for a woocommerce product being created in the back end.

On my website, when adding a new product in WCFM, there is only one field and when you input a link, the field moves to another location. Otherwise it simply states File with a field and upload button and this is not clear to anyone that doesn’t just know that they can use cloud links.

Thanks

Hello

Bumping this post as it has been almost 2 weeks since last response.

Thank you

I found that this issue is worse in Variable Products. There is no space to enter the URL to apply the Cloud URL to the different variations. In the attached image, I added the google drive URL to the file area and clicked submit but the URL didn’t save. When you click upload it only pulls from media but these products should allow for URL direct download.

Additionally, this can be accomplished from back end in variable product. Just not in WCFM.

Thank You
