Managing large (Quanity) uploads

  • Hello:

    Periodically I am asked to take 10-100 small PDF, mp3, doc files and upload them to our current ASPX site. In the current system I can upload the files and easily get a list of the direct links to each upload. I can use this to generate a HTML5 list that I just paste into a new page with manual formatting.

    I am stumped on how to do this process with WordPress. I see that WordPress has no issue with large quantity uploads but I do not see an easy way to obtain a list of relative links for each item other than to go into each upload one at a time.

    Is there a way to have WP generate a page with a list of uploads?

    Thank you,
    RKBC

    If you can do it with PHP, you can do it with WP, but it could involve custom coding. So I’d answer with a qualified yes. The best approach depends on how and where you do the uploading. If you are using the WP media upload facility, you basically have a list of uploads in the media library which can be sorted by date and other criteria. If you need a differently formatted list or one available on the front end you could build a custom page template to generate the desired list.

    Even if you do not upload as media or if they are not in /uploads/, for example, files uploaded via FTP, you can still build a page template to get the files in a particular location and generate a listing of files there that are newer than a particular date.
