Couple of Questions Before We Try EBD

    Hello,
    We came across your EBD Plugin and have several questions. We noticed on your Plugin page under Description you mentioned your Plugin had been in hiatus (looks like about 3 years or so of no updates – reading through some of the reviews and support questions) and that someone recently reached out to you to get EBD back on track (looks like as of this writing Plugin was last updated 2 months ago). How confident can we as consumers be that EBD will continue to update regularly and not let it lapse.

    We currently use Download Monitor and see that it integrates with EBD. We have Download Monitor set up so when someone clicks a PDF they will get an instant Download. We want to change that where someone will now need to supply name and email and when clicked gets the instant PDF download.
    Will EBD let us collect Email and Name or only just Email and if we can get Name (along with Email) make them required fields?
    Can we use just EBD and Download together or do we have to add in Contact Form 7?

    Let’s say we have 5 PDF’s and want to give the customer the choice to Instant Download 1 of the 5 PDF’s, or 3 of the 5 PDF’s or all 5 PDF’s – is there a way to give them a selection choice?

    Thank You in advance for your advice,
    Ruth

    Hi @meruth101,

    Thank you for reaching out. You can be very confident as consumers that EBD will continue to update regularly, in fact, we are in the process of releasing a pro version as well as maintaining our current free version. Updates are regular and the forum is patrolled daily. In regards to the following:
    “We want to change that where someone will now need to supply the name and email and when clicked gets the instant PDF download.” – EBD collects both name and email fields by default, which can be exported to CSV file.
    “Can we use just EBD and Download together or do we have to add in Contact Form 7?” – Contact Form 7 is required when using our plugin.
    “Let’s say we have 5 PDF’s and want to give the customer the choice to Instant Download 1 of the 5 PDF’s, or 3 of the 5 PDF’s or all 5 PDF’s – is there a way to give them a selection choice?” – For this in the EBD settings we have ‘Multiple URL Template’. Upon configuration of these settings allows for a picklist of downloads where a user can specify which downloads/ files they want to download after filling out the CF7 form.
