Support » Fixing WordPress » Custom post types for file upload or plugin?

  • Hello all,

    My question is somewhat unique, and because of the fact that I’m not an ROR developer, I’m having to build a somewhat challenging project in WordPress. Here’s the scope of the site:

    Dashboard like website which only registered users (employees of the client’s company) can access. Once they login, they see the home page from which they can click on a page for their department (i.e. Sales Team, HR, etc.). On that page there will be a section for them to download work related files. These files will be replaced *daily* with new files, by the admin.

    I’m not a PHP developer, so I’m looking for the easiest way of doing this. The front-end of the site is already built out, but lacks this part of the functionality. My go-to method of doing this would be creating a custom post type for each page (one for HR, one for sales, etc), and adding a file-upload meta box to each post type.

    I want to know if this is the right way to go about this, or if there is a plugin that would handle it better.

    Thanks in advance,
    James
