Remotely install plugins and themes from stores running Easy Digital Downloads.
Please make a pull request and add your sites URL to the api_urls.json file.
In order to use the server side, you must define EDD_RI_IS_SERVER to be (boolean) true.
This will expose 3 new actions to EDD:
check_downloadchecks if a download is free or not.get_downloadgets the file of the downloadget_downloadsgets a json array of all the available products.
After you install the plugin, You will have to go to its admin page (under settings) and select a download category for your plugins and another one for your themes.
This will allow you to limit the products that will be available for remote installation using categories.
All you have to do is activate the plugin. If you visit the Plugins submenu page you will find the page to load EDD sites downloads. Select a site from the dropdown and load the sites downloads.
It then creates a new options page where the user is able to install their products. If a product is free then it is directly downloaded and installed. If it's a billable product, then a popup text form is displayed and the user has to enter their license key in order to process. Licenses are created using the EDD Software Licensing plugin.
This plugin is still at an early stage in its development and needs a lot of things to be fixed. This is for the time being a proof of concept and an invitation to collaborate and build a kick-ass installer for our EDD-based stores.
Themes installation currently does not work, but plugins are fully operational.
