Easy Digital Downloads

Andrew Munro

EDD Blocks adds a “Downloads” block to the new WordPress editor, also known as Gutenberg.
The Downloads block allows you to display a grid of Downloads on your site similar to the [downloads] shortcode already provided by Easy Digital Downloads. The Downloads block provides a visual representation of your downloads, allowing you to see a real-time preview of your downloads as you configure the various settings.
As well as being able to display downloads, a grid of Download Categories or Download Tags can be shown.

thumbnails
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the thumbnail image.
title
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the category or tag name.
description
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the category or tag description.
show_empty
true | false (default)
Whether or not to show empty terms.
columns
1 | 2 | 3 (default) | 4 | 5 | 6
The number of columns.
count
true (default) | false
Whether or not to show the number of downloads in each term.
orderby
count (default) | id | name | slug
What to order the terms by.
order
ASC | DESC (default)
In which order to display the terms.
Shortcode examples
[download_categories count=”false” orderby=”name” order=”ASC” title=”false” columns=”4″]
[download_tags orderby=”id” order=”DESC” columns=”2″]

This plugin requires <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/" title="Easy Digital Downloads" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads</a>. It allows downloads to be “Coming Soon” or have Custom Status text, and prevents them from being added to the cart. It does a few things:
<ol>
<li>Adds a checkbox to the download configuration so you can set the download to Coming Soon / Custom Status.</li>
<li>Adds a text field to the download configuration so you can set the text to show (default “Coming Soon”).</li>
<li>Adds “Coming Soon” or your custom status text underneath the price on the admin pricing column</li>
<li>Displays “Coming Soon” or the Custom Status text instead of the price when using the [downloads] shortcode, and anywhere else where the edd_price() function has been called.</li>
<li>Prevents the coming soon download from being purchased. The plugin will remove the purchase button and stop the download from being added to cart via the edd_action. Eg ?edd_action=add_to_cart&download_id=XXX</li>
<li>Allows customers to vote on a specific download. A download’s votes are listed on the edit/publish page and on the admin dashboard</li>
</ol>
** Filter examples **
Example filter of how you can change the default coming soon text. Copy this function to your functions.php
<pre><code>function edd_coming_soon_modify_default_status_text() {
 return 'Not long now!';
}
add_filter( 'edd_cs_coming_soon_text', 'edd_coming_soon_modify_default_status_text' );
</code></pre>
Example filter of how you can modify the markup of the coming soon text in the admin columns. Copy this function to your functions.php
<pre><code>function edd_coming_soon_modify_admin_column_text( $custom_text ) {
 return '<h2>' . $custom_text . '</h2>';
}
add_filter( 'edd_coming_soon_display_admin_text', 'edd_coming_soon_modify_admin_column_text' );
</code></pre>
Example filter of how you can modify the markup of the coming soon text on the front end. Copy this function to your functions.php
<pre><code>function edd_coming_soon_modify_text( $custom_text ) {
 return '<h2>' . $custom_text . '</h2>';
}
add_filter( 'edd_coming_soon_display_text', 'edd_coming_soon_modify_text' );
</code></pre>
Example filter of how you can modify the message that displays when someone tries to purchase a download that is coming soon. 
This message can be tested by appending ?edd_action=add_to_cart&download_id=XXX to your URL, substituting XXX with your download ID
<pre><code>function edd_coming_soon_modify_prevent_download_message( $download_id ) {
 return __( 'This item cannot be purchased just yet, hang tight!', 'edd-coming-soon' );
}
add_filter( 'edd_coming_soon_pre_add_to_cart', 'edd_coming_soon_modify_prevent_download_message' );
</code></pre>
