display filename and date created, in table

  • I would like to display a table of files within a folder, together with their creation date.
    The basic mmfilelist plugin works fine and I can remove the filesize and order by date. However, when I try the custom format using:
    [MMFileList folder=”/music/” format=”li”]<div class=”taco”>{name} ({date})</div>[/MMFileList]
    I get the filename and date, but as a list, and the surrounding html code is also displayed in the front end page. I also do not want the url displayed.
    Any help appreciated, as I’m not a coder by any means.

    I’ve since got this to work:
    [MMFileList folder=music format=”table” orderby=date]{name} ({date})[/MMFileList]

    and that’s a step forward, but it’s just a text list. I would like the titles to be clickable as a download link. Any ideas?

    Dear friend, could you solve the problem? What can I do to see a list of files in table format, and the “date” field appear?
    I appreciate if you can give me a hand, I’m not a coder.

    No I haven’t found a way to display filename and date in a table format.
    I really do hope the creator of the plugin can help, because it’s a great plugin.

    I was looking through the code and it doesn’t appear that the date function is completely implemented in tables. I am working to see how that can be implemented and will send some suggestions to the plugin creator.

    I have this code that should work for you. However, it does not change the titles of the table since that is hardcoded into the $headers variable of the PHP file. I’m seeing if there is a way to change that without editing the PHP. One way is to adjust the CSS on the page but that could be a little complicated if you aren’t super familiar with coding.

    [MMFileList folder=music format="table" orderby=date]<td><a href="{url}">{name}</a></td><td>({date})</td>[/MMFileList]

    Make sure to put this in the shortcode block if you are using the new Gutenberg WordPress layout. If you don’t, it won’t work properly.

    Thanks for responding.
    Strange (but bear in mind I’m not a coder as such, just dabbling).
    As a test, I have a web page that includes:

    [MMFileList folder=music format=”table” orderby=date]<td>{name}</td><td>({date})</td>[/MMFileList]

    [MMFileList folder=music format=table orderby=name prettyname=on removesize=on/]

    The first call to MMFileList just produces a large text, copied here just the first few lines:

    <td>index.html</td><td>(2020-05-19 14:06:37)</td><td>C42-Flower-Of-Portencross-(A,-D).pdf</td><td>(2020-02-06 18:21:28)</td><td>A47-Ob-la-di.pdf</td><td>(2020-01-23 09:18:37)</td><td>A46-This-is-my-Island.pdf</td><td>(2020-01-23 09:14:37)</td><td>A45-I’d-Like-To-Teach-The-World-To-Sing.pdf</td><td>(2020-01-22 08:41:47)</td><td><a href=”https://localhost/wordpress/wp-…………&#8230;. etc

    Yet the second call to MMFileList produces a table with the cells populated as below, exactly what I want but missing the date field:

    Score
    01 Pat A Cake Polka
    02 Oxo Reel
    03 Virginia Reel
    04 Gay Gordons
    04b Gay Gordons
    05 Lucky Seven

    Am I missing something simple?
