Contributors uploading files

  • My client would like to have the following capabilities on her WP site (which also has WishList installed):

    1. Allow contributors/members to upload files (assignments in progress) and have them appear on the site as a post. My client would then be able to edit the post or make comments.

    2. Have a resource library where the final assignments can be posted.

    Is this even possible? I have a plug-in called Upload Widget that gives a form to upload files and I have set up an upload directory, but I think that would mean some manual labor to get these uploads actually into WP.

    Thanks for any help you can give!

  • I’m not aware of any way (that doesn’t mean there’s not a plugin out there, I just haven’t used it) to only allow someone to upload files but not create new posts. You could potentially create a new custom post type that only has the Featured Image feature (no title or editor, etc.) and allow contributors to create those; but then I’m not sure how the admin would add content to them.

    On a slightly different tip, though, you could look at BuddyPress. You might be able to get it working similarly to the way you want.

    Thanks for the quick reply, Curtiss.

    I haven’t used BuddyPress before, but notice one of the features they have is called Group Documents. So, that may just work. I’ll give it a try.
