Bulk download all files from a [Gravity Forms](https://www.gravityforms.com/ "visit Gavity Forms website") entry in one go.
This plugin is an add-on to the Gravity Forms form builder plugin.
It offers the opportunity to download all files from one or multiple Gravity Forms entries with one click.
Therefore, it adds a download link to the list view, and an extra download button to the single view of a Gravity Form entry and a Bulk Action.
All uploaded files are collected and downloadable in a single ZIP file.
New:
The plugin now also allows bulk deletion of all files from one or multiple entries.
This includes a new bulk action and row action. The files are permanently deleted from the server.
Deleted files are excluded from the ZIP archive and are marked in the entry details view using either the default text or your custom text..

Can I change the file name of the ZIP archive?
You can use the settings page from this option to overwrite the zip archive name. In this option you can also use merge tags from your form.
The plugin also offers a filter called bdfgf_download_filename which you can use to change the zip archive name.
You can find an example usage of this filter in a small plugin in a GIST.
Can I change the file or folder name of the entries in the ZIP archive?
You can use the settings page from this option to overwrite the folder name. In this option you can also use merge tags from your form.
The plugin also offers a filter called bdfgf_entry_filename which you can use to change the names.
You can find an example usage of this filter in a small plugin in a GIST.
When I try to bulk download the files, nothing happens. What can I do?
Issues like these usually occur when your server has too low values for the memory_limit or max_execution_time.
The plugin provides the filters bdfgf_memory_limit and bdfgf_max_execution_time to change these values.
You can find example usage of the memory_limit filter and the max_execution_time filter in the two linked GISTs.
Can I influence the permissions to download files in bulk?
By default only logged in users with the gravityforms_view_entries capability are allowed to download files in bulk. You can use the bdfgf_download_permission filter to expand permission check.
Can I add additional files to the zip archive?
The Plugin provides a filter bdfgf_single_entry_uploaded_files and an action bdfgf_after_uploaded_files to do this. You can add extra files to every single entry or to the whole zip archive beside the entries.
You can find example usage of the bdfgf_single_entry_uploaded_files filter and the bdfgf_after_uploaded_files action in the two linked GISTs.
