[Plugin: Attachment File Icons (AF Icons)] Limitations Question

First of all let me thank you for showing interest in this plugin. You really have a good set of points here. Being my first plugin there was some limitations from my side as you can see.

This plugin parses links that are added through media uploader, which is in the format containing HTML ‘a’ tag (example: ‘Title‘). The plugin parses the page/post content for the format [attachment link=<link> title=” /] and replaces it with necessary file icon.

Thanks for the tip. Will introduce the same. Keep your tips coming. ??

The limitations mentioned are fixed in the new release. Let me know your comments on this(if any). Enjoy ??

Hi Praveen,

Very nice! If i can make one more request – can you extend where you are looking for file types to things in the sidebar in addition to the body of the page? I have widgets that list links to files too.

Please find the update you requested for from the plugin download page.

If you find this plugin useful please rate it.

Thanks in advance. ??

Just Rated- thank you

Check out this sandbox i am playing in:

The link to “My Resume” in the sidebar widget, which is a pdf, does’t get an icon, but the identical link in the body does.

Hi,

Is the ‘Links & Download’ section a widget of WordPress similar to ‘Search’ widget or is it added manually from the backend. If it is a widget it should work fine. Try adding a ‘Text’ widget with a link to a file in the sidebar. You will get the expected result. Hope it solves your issue.

Thanks.

So the Downloads widget I “made” though it is really just a holder for the Post Links plugin’s post_links(); function.

But here is my code. Please let me know if you can help b/c this is where I need your icons to show up.

Hi,

I regret for delay in reply.

Please add the below code before you ‘echo $content’ in your widget.

$output = apply_filters(‘widget_text’, $content);

That should solve your issue i guess.

Thanks.
