WordPress Attachment Manager Plugin

Version 2.0.1

Want a custom WordPress Plugin?
Need WordPress Development?

This WordPress plugin allows you to create a list of attachments on your messages (as seen in areas of this site). You can choose to show them on all posts, some posts (adds an option to the “Write” page), or not show them at all. Even specify whether you want to show files that are already linked in your post or not.

The icons are also customizable. You can choose whether to show icons with the files (uses “Silk” by famfamfam by default), and can even specify what icons go with which file extensions, as well as add your own icons (and remove the ones that are there).

I welcome any suggestions or bugs, and while you are at it, you can check out my other WordPress plugins

How does one only show the file to be downloaded on the post page, rather then the category page?

I’m not sure, I’ll check into it when I get a moment.

Nick: There is now a setting to avoid showing the file list on the category pages.

Hi!

Have you tried it with WP 2.1? I installed and everything looked ok in the admin interface. Attached a file to a post. But nothing shows. I selected show attachments on all posts no exclusions.

Aaron D. Campbell

No, I haven’t had time to test on 2.1 at all.

To work on 2.1, line 90 needed to be changed from WHERE post_status = ‘attachment’ to WHERE post_type = ‘attachment’
Great plugin

Aaron,

I stumbled upon your attachment manager plugin and I’m excited about it. One small improvement you could make that shouldn’t be too hard (and I need it to work!) would be to make the attachment manager work in 2.1 with pages as well.

thanks and great work!

Chris

Thanks Chris!
Unfortunately, my work load has not allowed me any time to work on any of my WordPress plugins for quite a while. I’d be happy to allow anyone to continue the project that wants to, and even host the files here, etc. However it doesn’t look like I’ll be in a position to work on it for a while.

do you know how it would be possible to make the list of attachments to be displayed before the post content, and not after it?

Aaron D. Campbell

Yes, change line 71 from:
$post_content .= wpAttachmentManager::get_attachments();
to:
$post_content = wpAttachmentManager::get_attachments().$post_content;

Here’s what I see on my AM Options page:

Warning: opendir(/homepages/41/d244192583/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/attachment_managerattachment-manager/icons) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /homepages/41/d244192583/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/attachment-manager/wp-attachment-manager.php on line 295

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /homepages/41/d244192583/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/attachment-manager/wp-attachment-manager.php on line 296

What do these lines look like, and how should I change them? I haven’t had any success in finding them on my own or discerning what the correct code is.

Thanks!

Hi,
I just installed your plugin and it seems to be working, looks nice based on a first successful test post.

But it did not work “out of the box”, as I imagine it could easily do. The default directories in the options pages were not quite a match to the directory structure within the .zip, I can’t remember, but they included something like “attachment_managerattachment-manager” in the path, and I needed to tweak them. So initially I got no icons to configure and hence display.
Cheers
YikYak

Actually, now I read a bit more, I think that matches what the earlier comments are talking about, but I did not see the error messages, I just got a not quite working plugin.

Guys, I hope you got fixed, or are still reading comments, and my observations helps you.

Hi, I just upgraded to version 2.0 of your plugin and get a huge load of error messages. When, after the first shock, I started to search for the source of the error I found out that the input-field on this plugin’s options-page for Allowed File Extensions has a faulty input. Instead of something like: “jpg,jpeg,gif,png” it displays “array”.
