Title: manager mode question Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # manager mode question * Resolved [waxymilanders](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waxymilanders/) * (@waxymilanders) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/) * I noticed that when I enable manager mode I no longer have the option to have audio files play. Is there a way to change this with the settings? I have a site where I need to have members be able to rename and delete files but also to be able to listen to them without downloading. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/file-away/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/file-away/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5847941) * Sorry. The mechanisms of each mode get in the way of each other. You could create a custom little function that would allow them to enable and disable manager mode. Give me a couple minutes and I’ll give you an example. * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5847977) * Here, add this to your theme’s functions.php file. * ``` class my_custom_fileaway_class { public function __construct() { add_shortcode('fa_manager_toggle', array($this, 'toggle')); } public function toggle() { if(!class_exists('fileaway')) return false; if(isset($_REQUEST['fa_manager'])) { $link = fileaway_utility::querystring(get_permalink(), $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"], array('fa_manager'), true); $output = 'Disable Manager Mode
'; $output .= do_shortcode('[fileaway directories=true manager=true]'); } else { $link = fileaway_utility::querystring(get_permalink(), $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"], array('fa_manager' => '1')); $output = 'Enable Manager Mode
'; $output .= do_shortcode('[fileaway directories=true playback=extended]'); } return $output; } } new my_custom_fileaway_class; ``` * You’ll want to modify the shortcodes, and you can specify the css class for the link. * Then on your page, just use this shortcode: * `[fa_manager_toggle]` * Thread Starter [waxymilanders](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waxymilanders/) * (@waxymilanders) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5848003) * I added the code to the functions.php file but it gave me an error that the } in line 6 was “unexpected” and wouldn’t allow my site to load. * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5848005) * It works fine in my functions.php. * Can you show me the lines before and after the code I provided, including line 6? * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5848007) * Or you could email me your functions.php file to [fileaway.plugin@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/fileaway.plugin@gmail.com?output_format=md) and I’ll find your syntax error and send it back to you. * Thread Starter [waxymilanders](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waxymilanders/) * (@waxymilanders) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5848008) * I copied and pasted exactly what you had here: * class my_custom_fileaway_class { public function __construct() { add_shortcode(‘ fa_manager_toggle’, array($this, ‘toggle’)); } public function toggle() { if(! class_exists(‘fileaway’)) return false; if(isset($_REQUEST[‘fa_manager’])) { $link = fileaway_utility::querystring(get_permalink(), $_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”], array(‘fa_manager’), true); $output = ‘[Disable Manager Mode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/'.$link.'?output_format=md)‘; $output .= do_shortcode(‘[fileaway directories=true manager=true]’); } else { $link = fileaway_utility::querystring(get_permalink(), $_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”], array(‘fa_manager’ => ‘1’)); $output = ‘[Enable Manager Mode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/'.$link.'?output_format=md)‘; $output .= do_shortcode(‘[fileaway directories=true playback=extended]’); } return $output; } } new my_custom_fileaway_class; * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5848011) * Yes, I need to see what’s in your file before and after what you copied and pasted. The syntax error is not in my code. * Thread Starter [waxymilanders](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waxymilanders/) * (@waxymilanders) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5848017) * ok I must have done something wrong the first time, the error went away. But now it is showing all my files instead of the directory that I specified. * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5848021) * As I said, you’ll need to modify the shortcodes in the custom code provided. Or, give me the shortcodes that you had originally, and I will modify it for you and post it here. * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5848023) * These two lines are the lines that you need to modify: * `$output .= do_shortcode('[fileaway directories=true manager=true]');` * and * `$output .= do_shortcode('[fileaway directories=true playback=extended]');` * Just modify the shortcode part. One should have manager mode enabled. The other should have playback enabled, as exampled. * Thread Starter [waxymilanders](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waxymilanders/) * (@waxymilanders) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5848025) * ok thanks! * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manager-mode-question/#post-5848026) * No problem.
