 * Hi Dan,
 * Is there some cunning way of integrating your plugin with others?
 * I’m just creating a new document library of 1000’s of PDFs, and I’ve been looking
   at various plugins but will mostly likely settle with Easy Document Downloads(
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads))
 * Unfortunately no-one has created an addon which automatically generates thumbnails.
   Could yours be “tweaked” to work with it?
 * Probably not, but I thought I’d ask 🙂

 * Hey Mikey,
 * I’ve actually developed an EDD extension to integrate with Document Gallery on
   a private project quite recently. That said, the only functionality I needed 
   to extend was related to Google Drive thumbnail generation (EDD doesn’t have 
   downloads in a public path so they couldn’t be passed to Google).
 * For just general functionality, it should work out of the box without any “extending”.
   All you’d need to do is modify the [download template]([https://easydigitaldownloads.com/support/topic/how-to-change-the-download-template/](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/support/topic/how-to-change-the-download-template/))
   to invoke [do_shortcode]([http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode))
   with the ID of the current download and you’d have your automatic thumbnails.
 * Does that make sense?

 * ………. um…… it will do to my developer! 🙂
 * You never know, I may read through those on a good day and actually be able to
   understand it!
 * Thanks Dan, appreciate you taking the time

 * Ok, read them… I fully understand if this is beyond the scope of a standard support
   question, but where it says to create a file call “single-download.php” where
   am I putting that?
 * And more importantly, what do I put in it?!

 * No, not a problem at all.
 * The `single-download.php` file would go into your theme. It’s the template used
   when displaying a “download” post type. There is more information on what that
   means [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Single_Post_display).
 * Does that help at all? WordPress templates are a lot to pick up at one time, 
   but that link contains pretty much everything.

 * PS: If you’ve found this plugin useful, please take a moment to [rate it](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/document-gallery#postform).
   Thanks! 🙂
