<p>6.x Release is Here!</p>
<p>After a hiatus from EBD development, a community member has reached out and partnered with us to breathe life back into EBD! We have recently made updates to fix issues and enhance capabilities of EBD. Stay tuned for more to come in EBD v6.x and above!</p>
<p>Email Before Download (EBD) presents your users with a form where they submit information, like their name and email address, prior to receiving a download. This plugin integrates with the popular <a href="http://bit.ly/dNzVJd" rel="nofollow ugc">Contact Form 7</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/ifff4y" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Download Monitor</a> plugins, allowing you to create any form you like and manage/monitor your file downloads.  You can also EXPORT a list of users that have downloaded files from the plug-in’s settings page.  Prior to installing Email Before Download, please confirm each of the dependent plugins is already installed and working independently.</p>
<p>As an option, you can configure Email Before Download to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Display a link to your file directly under the contact form once it is submitted.  This happens dynamically, inline of your post/page.</li>
<li>Send the user an email with a link and/or attachment to download your file.</li>
<li>Both #1 and #2</li>
</ol>

<h3>General Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>You Need To Re-Generate The Permalink <code>WP-Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks -> Save Changes</code></li>
<li>To embed a specific file to be downloaded into a post/page, use <code>[download id="2"]</code> where 2 is your file id.</li>
<li>To embed multiple files to be downloaded into a post/page, use <code>[download id="1,2,3"]</code> where 1,2,3 are your file ids.</li>
<li>To limit the number of embedded downloads shown for each post in a post stream, use the <code>stream_limit</code> option.
<ol>
<li>Example: <code>[download id="2" stream_limit="4"]</code></li>
<li>This will only display the first 4 downloads for the post when rendered in a post stream, and display the full list of downloads when viewing the single post.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>To sort embedded downloads, use the <code>sort_by</code> and <code>sort_order</code> options.
<ol>
<li>Example: <code>[download id="2" sort_by="file_id" sort_order="asc"]</code></li>
<li>This will sort the embedded downloads by file ID in ascending order.</li>
<li>Valid values for <code>sort_by</code> are: <code>file_id</code>, <code>file</code>, <code>file_name</code>, <code>file_size</code>, <code>file_date</code>, and <code>file_hits</code></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>To choose what to display within the embedded file, use <code>[download id="1" display="both"]</code> where 1 is your file id and both will display both the file name and file desccription, whereas name will only display the filename.
