Description

With this plugin you can paste downloadable documents into articles on your site. You can select a folder, specify that the folders below it appear, or even a single file. These can be downloaded by users.

The plugin is very simple. It doesn’t count downloads, it doesn’t scan permissions, but you can add a new download very easily: You copy it to the server and it already appears. (It takes the name from the descript.ion file, so if you copy it too, even the name will be correct.)

However, the plugin offers two things: When you upload a document to its interface, it normalizes the file name so that it does not contain characters that could cause confusion. The other thing is that if you set it that way, it will hide the direct link to the file. (Of course, don’t think about some big encryption, but it won’t be clear to the average user.)

Main functions

• No database management!
  The plugin does not manage a database other than its settings. Read the files and all their attributes (tags, order) from the file system. If you copy (eg via FTP), you can also copy them.
• Order
  You can also set the order of folders and files.
• Titles
  The plugin supports naming documents (via descript.ion file) and displays the names.
• Properties
  Display the type and size of the document (Not displayed by default, but you can also display the date and time of the document with a custom template.)
• Extensions support
  You can specify globally and occasionally which document formats can appear on the page.
• Hide direct link
  Hide the link to the document from the user in a switchable way. (Of course, don’t think of some big encryption here!)
• Template support
  There are four types of display templates available in the plugin that can be overridden in the (child) theme. In addition, you can create and use custom templates.
• CSS and JS support in the template
  If there is a CSS or JS file in the template folder, it will load it.
• Maintenance free
  You don’t have to log in to the WordPress admin interface either. You upload the doc to the appropriate folder on ftp, and the user can download it from there.
• Auto refresh
  If you use the Very simple file upload plugin to upload, it will automatically update the list of files.
