if developers were compensated enough for the effort that goes into such big plugins, no one would feel the need to resort to such methods…

‘against the ethos of wordpress and the world-wide open source community’

yeah, they should provide plugins that cost thousands of man-hours to develop and test over many years for free, without expecting any compensation. because that is how the world just works. when you go to grocer’s, the grocer will also provide you with food without expecting anything back…

nothing wrong with the plugin. either your computer or your website is infected with an ad virus.

Im also interested in answer to this question.

Never mind i found it by examining other plugins :

After overriding it with

add_filter( “comments_template”, “my_custom_function”,0 );

your function must return a comments.php from whever yo pick :

return dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/comments.php’;

this overrides comments totally.

i already did and i didnt find it helpful at all – in forums relevant to changing anything or modifying, there is little info, and they are for quite simple modifications. and in the tutorials section that can be found, there are a few modification tutorials listed, but anything like list of hooks, functions, classes or anything of the sort is not found.

i cant spend days going through the code and learn its intricacies even though im a professional developer by trade. i guess ill have to skip on your plugin and write my own small plugin to replace comments and double as a forum.

ty.

such a potential for improvement and yet it doesnt have ?

anyway – how much modification is required – are there ready made hooks in your plugin for that ? if not, what hooks in wp would suffice to effect this ?

Scratch that – it was because of directoryindexes – index.html was being served by apache before index.php, and therefore when your plugin did a request to domain.com/?download…… the request was naturally sent to domain.com/index.html?download…..

and since there was a html redirection set up in that index.html page, it was redirecting to another page.

This was a server specific issue. but other users may get affected by the same thing since hosts may leave the default file for directoryindex as index.html

maybe you should process download clicks not from domain.com/?download…. but instead submit the request to a custom page you create through the plugin – like the download pages etc it creates.

anyway good evening. im out.

EDD doesnt detect if i give an absolute path to a file outside webroot for a download and serve it. instead it just redirects it to the page where download process was started by adding the file to a basket.

By the way, does this plugin even post automatically to google+ pages ?! Or am i mistook it for something else ?
