Yes, i know, it should be clear, but i still do not know how to use this extension since i am pretty much a newbie on this, my apologies.

What i basically want to do is to define the name of the zip file so it contains the content of two fields of whatever form i selected.
For example, if i want to create a file name from field 1 and field 2 of the given form, which contain “firstname” for fireld 1 and “lastname” for field 2, so the filename would be “fistname_lastname.zip”.

How do i manage this? I really appreciate any help given!

I downloaded and activated the plugin, selected a few files from one of my forms, clicked bulk download and apply, and got a message saying no files found.

This works perfectly for our purposes with smaller collections of files, but recently we’ve had two uploads from customers where the total size of the files uploaded were large (1.4GB and 3.8GB) and the bulk download fails. I have set the memory_limit value to 4095M and the max_execution_time to 360, our server has 4GB of RAM.

I assume the issue is due to the large file sizes, but is there someplace where this information might be logged so I can confirm? Any suggestions other than limiting the file sizes allowed or increasing the RAM available to our server?

Would it be possible somehow via shortcode or other to be able to add a link to the frontend that would download the files for a given entry? Love that it’s possible via admin but my users use a front end interface to manage entries etc….would that be possible at all with this plugin?

Hi — I’m testing out this plugin on my organization’s staging site and having some issues. It seems to work for bulk downloading only some documents, in particular any in the “Additional Documents” section shown here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C9TkjwbGqnRsZXojViz2OGBTyFkPLAgx/view?usp=sharing

The entries that have images or documents in the other fields like “Primary Images” or “Supporting Images” are not having those included in the zip file. I think this is why I’m getting the “Unsupported Format” error when I try to open those zip folders, but I’m not sure. Is there a way to include ALL fields with uploaded attachments in the bulk download? Thanks!

It would be nice to be able to filter the $uploaded_files which then get zipped into a file for download.
A client requested this because they have other files as well which they have to download for a single GF Entry.
With a filter we could include these files into the Bulk download and thus improve the Workflow by only having to download a single file.

I hope this is the right place to ask. If not, please ignore my message and delete it.

Thank you,
Michael

Hello, we’ve been using Bulk Download without issues for months but suddenly we’re not able to use the bulk download link included in email notifications. The browser times out and then displays an ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE message. The recent submissions have had a significant number of attachments (40+) so I’m wondering if that’s the issue and how we can allow for these larger file sizes.

I saw this older support thread – https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/bulk-download-not-working-with-50-files/ – are those plugins recommended for this issue, or is there another problem at hand? Thank you.

Getting this error when trying to unzip a downloaded file. Unable to expand. It is in an unsupported format.

I have disabled all plugins besides Gravity Forms and Bulk Download and switched back to the default theme

I also have tried to increase the memory limit and execution time

Using the latest version of WP and PHP 8.1

Thanks,

When using this plugin I’m only able to download files as an Admin user. When signing in under other user roles (managed through Members plugin) and clicking the Download link nothing happens and you get sent back to the home page.

I’ve gone into the Members role permission settings and enabled “Gravity Forms View Entries”. Is there something else I could be missing?

Thank you for developing this plugin, and keep up the good work ??

Hi, first of all I want to say that you did a great job with this plugin!

I’m having a suggestion. When using the {bulk_download_link} mergetag in a gravity view then the merge tag shows as the actual mergetag {bulk_download_link} when there are no uploaded files for an entry.

I had a look at your code and this would be an easy fix. In the DownloadMergeTag.php file, in the method “replace_bulk_download_link” on line 57, when there are no upload fields, instead of returning the $text as is, you could return something like “no files uploaded”? that would solve my problem but I’m not sure if there are other scenarios where this would be a problem?

Again I want to thank you for this wonderful plugin!

Kind regards,
Johan

Hi,

We’ve using the ‘Bulk Download for Gravity Forms’ add-on but it seems to have stopped working in the last couple of weeks.

When we click on the ‘Bulk download all files’, either in the back end of the WP entry or in an email, we get the following error message:

“Windows cannot open the folder.
The Compressed (zipped) Folder ‘C:\Users\……..’ is invalid.”

It downloads the zip file, but the error shows when trying to open the file.

We are also not able to open zipped files from emails before the issue started.

Thanks

Hi there,
How to set the download link only allowed to download for a specific user or role
The current URL structure looks very easy to identify the form and entries.

https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_entries&action=gf_bulk_download&gf_entry_id=10&gf_form_id=1

Is it possible to add a token with each download link?

Thanks

Hi
fist of all thank you for your awesome support
could you please help me to set the download_filename ( zip file name ) as multiple form filed value
i found below code but it used the form name and date and time

add_filter( 'bdfgf_download_filename', 'my_bdfgf_download_filename', 10, 3 );
function my_bdfgf_download_filename( $filename, $form, $entry_ids ) {
	// We append the current date/time to the end of the file name.
	return $form['title'] . ' - ' . date_i18n( 'Y-m-d H:i:s' );
}

i am looking for a solution like

return $form[‘title’] . ‘ – ‘ . ‘field_data 1’ . ‘ – ‘ . field_data 2;
//field_data 1 is string

How to implement this?

Thanks

Hi

I am looking for a solution to make the folder name inside the folder as a field value instead of entry ID.
I found this solution. But how to apply this solution for different forms with different field values?

Thanks

Greetings Bulk Download for Gravity Forms folks!

We send files to clients for review. I am able to send the {bulk_download_link} via a notification email that works exactly as expected.

Is there a way for our clients to bulk download files without a login and password?

Thanks!

Hi,

We’re having issues with the Bulk Download link in emails not working most of the time. We understand the link is only viable for 24 hours and it appears you need to be logged into WordPress to download from the email (can you confirm this?) however we are getting errors saying ‘The link you followed has expired.’ even though we are opening it instantly.

We’ve done multiple tests, some with heaps of files, some with only a couple. We’ve increased memory limits etc however the zip file will only download from one email address but not another (same form entry).

Can you explain why this is the case?

Thanks

How to use a form filed data as the folder name inside the downloaded zip instead of entry ID

Hi everyone,

This plugin would be a huge help for my site, however the bulk download button doesn’t work when the entry has about 50+ attachments. When I click on it, my site thinks for like 10 seconds and then nothing happens. Works fine if it has <10 photos as attachments.

Could you help me with this problem please?

Thanks a lot,
Kevin

Hi, I am looking at this plug in for a solution for bulk downloading all the attachments uploaded to our forms (essentially, helping us to do a data dump of all of the attachments). However, it does not look like this is a “bulk action” item on the drop down. Is it a bulk action item? If not, is there any way to get it to be a bulk action item?

Is it possible to include the bulk download link inside the notification email?

I installed your plugin, entering a form and clicking on bulk download download 2 files present in the form.
There are 5 files in the form.
We have over 600 filled forms and your plugin would be very useful.
Can you help us?
Thanks and bye
