EDD Account Helpers
Easy Digital Downloads is a great tools for selling digital products through your website, but building a nice dashboard area for user accounts still takes a good time investment. This plugin isn't meant to be used as-is, but I've built a couple functions that might make this a bit easier.
None of this code has been extensively tested. If you see improvements or have questions, feel free to open an issue.
View all Downloads
The main goal of this plugin is to return download information for logged in users.
This is some of the data I choose to display:
- Download Name
- Download Featured Image
- Download Link
If licensing is enabled (EDD Software Licensing Add-On), I also wanted to show:
- Download License Key
- License Key Expiration Date
- License Key Renewal Link
You may want to show additional information, such as the changelog. That should also be easier to return if you hack the code a bit.
To get a list of downloads for the a user:
/**
* Returns an array of download data for the user.
*
* @param string user_id
* @param string thumbnail size
*/
$downloads = edd_account_get_user_downloads( $user_id, $size );
Here's an example dashboard page that outputs some of this data:
<?php if ( function_exists('edd_get_users_purchases') && function_exists('edd_account_get_user_downloads') ) :
// Set user as logged in user
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$downloads = edd_account_get_user_downloads( $current_user->ID, 'medium' );
if ( $downloads ) : foreach ( $downloads as $download ) :
echo '<p>' . $download['name'] . '</p>';
echo '<p>' . $download['image'] . '</p>';
echo '<p>' . $download['download_url'] . '</p>';
echo '<p>' . $download['version'] . '</p>';
foreach ( $download['licenses'] as $license ) :
echo '<p>' . $license['key'] . '</p>';
echo '<p>' . $license['status'] . '</p>';
echo '<p>' . $license['expiration'] . '</p>';
echo '<p>' . $license['renew_uri'] . '</p>';
endforeach;
endforeach; endif;
endif; ?>
Limiting Dashboard Access
There's also two functions that limit subscriber access to the actual WordPress dashboard. You'll need to develop this a bit more if you also want to have a custom log in screen and direct users to your account page.
Disabled Admin Bar
/**
* Disables the #wpadmin bar for users without "edit_posts" permissions.
*/
function edd_account_admin_bar() {
if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) {
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'edd_account_admin_bar' );
Disables Dashboard Access
/**
* Redirects subscribers back to the home page if they attempt to access the dashboard.
*/
function edd_account_redirect_admin(){
if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) && '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' != $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ) {
wp_redirect( site_url() );
exit;
}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'edd_account_redirect_admin' );
