## Description

Display a list of the attachments that were added to a post or page by the [Attachments](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/attachments/)
plugin.

The Attachments plugin allows you to easily append items from the media library 
to posts, pages, etc, but does not directly interact with the theme.

This plugin will display an list of those items, each as a link to the file.

### Compatibility with the Attachments plugin

This plugin was developed and tested with version 1.5.2 of the Attachments plugin.
Feedback on success/failure with other versions of the plugin welcome.

Kudos to Jonathan Christopher for the Attachments plugin.

 5.  * Add the “Attachments List” widget to the sidebar,

 6. You’re done!

## FAQ

  How do I attach media files to my posts?

You’ll need to install the [Attachments](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/attachments/)
plugin. It’s awesome.

This plugin is just to display the attachments.

  How do I show a different icon size using the shortcode?

Use the “size” parameter. For example, [attachment-list size=”medium”]

Sizes available:
 * default: 46 x 60 * medium: 34 x 45 * small: 23 x 30 * casual:
50 x 55 * none: text only

  How about specifying a size using the function?

Here’s an example:

    ```
        <?php show_attachments_list('small'); ?>
    ```

  Where did the “casual” icons come from ?

It’s a set of images I found at MimeTypes_DroplineEtiquette_mimetypes. They’re cute,
right?
