Once again Awesome plugin – some questions

4. MULTI FILES UPLOAD: with AddFiles, I can select multiple files to upload, but upload is sequential (2nd file start afte completion of 1st file upload). Is there a trick to allow parallel files upload?

Hi. In answer to your questions (most of which are available in the tutorials and info links in the shortcode generator):

1) Yes. For a single custom column, [fileaway type="table" customdata="My Column Name"]. For Multiple custom columns, [fileaway type="table" customdata="My Col 1,My Col 2,My Col 3"] etc. You can also change the label for the file name column, and for the date modified column, like so: [fileaway type="table" filenamelabel="New Label" datelabel="Something Else"]

2) Yes. Enable Bulk Action Mode at the bottom of the table. Then just click the mouse on the table row for the file (or multiple files) you want to move. Then choose Move from the action dropdown, generate your destination location, and then complete the action. This is basic functionality.

3) Possible, but I like it where it is, and it’s extra work that is just unnecessary. The current location seems intuitive enough to me and to most users.

4) Parallel files upload will not be enabled (this can create problems for many users with limited server settings, and also would make it a lot more complicated for the system to know when the entire upload process is complete).

Thanks Thom for quick response.

1. I uncovered answer from your documentation and just wanted come back here and update my questions. By the time I saw your response. I used the last option, will try other options too.
2. Nice, and the reason is I am using default theme. I should be using some contrast color when hover or clicking on the row of the table. Do you have better way to highlight row ?
3. That should be ok. In my case, I want atleast to change label of “new” folder creation. Can I change the “new” to some other label?
4. OK and as explianed in your video, I may have to use mulitple fileup with matching drawer

Thanks for your support

2. You can override the color of the highlighted rows using the Custom CSS editor in File Away settings.
3. Are you working in a language other than English?

2. Sure and I will try that; that is my next geeky look into File Away.
3. I am working on English. But, I am using your plug-in to create sort of picture book making. If possible, I want use directory for the book (book name) and sub-directory for section/category of the book. My goal is to intuitive name for my users. In case of “new”, I would rather use “create new section”. Also, in case of “File Up”, I may want to change to “Start Upload”

Few more questions:
5. In Manage column, is there a possibility to add custom action links for sub-directorties (in my case book sections).
6. Is there option to add column to collect user input/text field on each sud-directory. May be in the Manage column itself? Essentially, I need to capture sort order for the book sectoins (sub-directories).

Again, the plugin is for gerenic purpose and I am trying to use it for specific purpose. Trying to understand hoew I can use.

Do you know to load a custom javascript file on the page?

You mean, I have to include specific JS file in the php file? The JS file may have specifc function or override function?

To change “new” to “Create New Section”, follow these steps:

1. Open a blank text document and include the following only in the document:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $new = $('table tr[id^="row-ssfa-create-dir-"] a[id^="ssfa-create-dir-"]');
    $create_new = $new.html().replace('new', 'Create New Section');
    $new.html($create_new);
});

2. Save the file as: custom-file-away.js

3. Upload the file to your server, to a subdirectory such as, for instance, “js”

4. On your WordPress page editor, above or below the [fileaway] shortcode, add this line:

<script src="https://www.yourdomain.com/js/custom-file-away.js"></script>

Change “yourdomain.com” to your actual domain. Change “js” if you have a different directory name for your custom file.

When the page loads, the javascript will change the word “new” to “Create New Section”.

To change the text on the upload button in a [fileup] form, use:
[fileup uploadlabel="Start Upload"]

There is currently no way to accommodate your needs in questions 5 and 6, sorry. But for 6, you can just have the directory names begin with a number, such as 01, 02, etc.

You have to use Text editor mode in WordPress when adding the link to the javascript file.

Your suggestions worked like a charm and I will try to follow similar JS approach if I need to have any more custom labels.

It is my bad on renaming “File Up”, I could have checked on it based on earlier response.

On #6 question, you are right in my ball game. I was thinking same solution for my users so that they can use number scheme with sub directory name.

Thank you so much for your help and you are nothing but a Gem. I will be back of I have any roadblocker.

Sounds like a plan. Happy to help.
