 * I´m trying to use this plugin inside some others where i can´t use the shortcode
   [
   email-download download_id=”X” contact_form_id=”Y”]. Is there a simples way to
   use this plugin via html????

 * Hi Cantian22,
 * We only have the shortcode option available for the plugin at this time. Can 
   you describe your use case in more detail (adding in HTML on a page/post, in 
   a widget, or some other specific place) so we can determine how useful this might
   be for others?

 * Hey Mandsconsulting,
 * Great plugin! Just wanted to jump onto this topic to give some ideas.
 * I love the way download manager’s [download_page] displays, with the categories
   listed separately. One thing that would be really useful is to have a single 
   page where all my downloads, displayed according to category, are visible with
   tick boxes and then they can download everything in one go without needing to
   complete a different form each time. Right now I am using the multiple download
   method for each category on pages related to that category, but can’t use the[
   download page] feature since that goes off to different individual download pages
   generated by download manager.
 * I’m no programmer so I would know how to start on this, but it’s just an idea
   for down the road. Thanks for the great plugin.

 * Hi vdowsett,
 * Sounds like a neat idea. We will take a look at the download_page capability 
   from Download Monitor and see if we can incorporate. This would likely be something
   we put into a major release of the plugin, but keep checking our change logs 
   when a new version comes out.

 * Hey just adding another thought. It would be great to call downloads by category
   id in the shortcode then have the list displayed like with multiple downloads.
   That way the list is automatically updated each time you add a download to a 
   category, rather than having to manually edit each page containing that category.
