shortcode or php instead of automatic insertion?

I would love this function too – the ability to add to my custom post types via shortcode would be a bonus!

Many thanks

Hi,
unfortunately at the moment there isn’t that possbility. I will add it soon.

Yes this function is very much needed, it’s the one thing that’s keeping me from using the plugin. ??

Is there anyway to delete or turn off automatic insertion to post?

These feature will be added soon soon ??

Dear all,

Actually, this function could be used as is. To avoid automatic appending to post content, comment out the line:

add_filter('the_content', 'wpatt_content_filter');

Once you’ve done this, all that’s left to do is to make a call to the function: wpatt_content_filter

I’ve commented out the line as before and added a separate function based on the code to my functions.php. It looks like this:

function show_attachments($content) {
    global $post;
    $somethingtoshow = 0;
    $content_l = null;

    $checkrestrict = false;
    if ( get_option('wpatt_option_restrictload') && !is_single() && !is_page() ) { $checkrestrict = true; }

    if ($post->ID == '0' || $post->ID == NULL || get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpa_off', true) || post_password_required() || $checkrestrict ) { return $content; }

    $attachments = get_posts(array(
        'post_type' => 'attachment',
        'orderby' => 'menu_order',
        'order' => 'ASC',
        'posts_per_page' => 100,
        'post_parent' => $post->ID
    ));

    if ($attachments) {
        $content_l .= '<!-- WP Attachments --><ul class="post-attachments">';
        foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {

            $wpatt_option_includeimages_get = get_option('wpatt_option_includeimages');
            if ($wpatt_option_includeimages_get == '1') {
            } else if ( wp_attachment_is_image( $attachment->ID ) ) {
                continue;
            }
            $somethingtoshow = 1;

            $class = "post-attachment mime-" . sanitize_title($attachment->post_mime_type);

            if ($wpatt_option_targetblank_get == '1') { $content_l .= 'target="_blank" '; }

            if ((file_exists(get_attached_file($attachment->ID)))) {
                $wpatt_fs = wpatt_format_bytes(filesize(get_attached_file($attachment->ID)));
            } else {
                $wpatt_fs = 'ERROR';
            }
            $wpatt_date = new DateTime($attachment->post_date);

            switch ( get_option('wpa_template') ) {
                case 1: //STANDARD WITH DATE
                    $wpattachments_string = '<a href="%URL%">%TITLE%</a> <small>(%SIZE%)</small> <div style="float:right;">%DATE%</div>';
                    break;
                case 2: //EXTENDED
                    $wpattachments_string = '<a href="%URL%">%TITLE%</a> <small>? %SIZE% ? %DOWNLOADS% click</small> <div style="float:right;">%DATE%</div><br><small>%CAPTION%</small>';
                    break;
                case 3: //CUSTOM
                    $wpattachments_string =  html_entity_decode( get_option('wpa_template_custom') );
                    break;
                default: //DEFAULT
                    $wpattachments_string = '<a href="%URL%">%TITLE%</a> <small>(%SIZE%)</small>';
            }

            if ( get_option('wpatt_option_targetblank') ) {
                $wpattachments_string = str_replace('<a href', '<a target="_blank" href', $wpattachments_string);
            }

            if ( get_option('wpatt_counter') ) {
                $url = add_query_arg( 'download', $attachment->ID, get_permalink() );
            } else {
                $url = wp_get_attachment_url($attachment->ID);
            }
            $wpattachments_string = str_replace("%URL%", $url, $wpattachments_string);
            $wpattachments_string = str_replace("%TITLE%", $attachment->post_title, $wpattachments_string);
            $wpattachments_string = str_replace("%SIZE%", $wpatt_fs, $wpattachments_string);
            $wpattachments_string = str_replace("%DATE%", $wpatt_date->format(get_option('wpatt_option_date_localization')), $wpattachments_string);
            $wpattachments_string = str_replace("%CAPTION%", $attachment->post_excerpt, $wpattachments_string);
            $wpattachments_string = str_replace("%DESCRIPTION%", $attachment->post_content, $wpattachments_string);
            $wpattachments_string = str_replace("%AUTHOR%", get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $attachment->post_author), $wpattachments_string);

            $wpattachments_string = str_replace("%DOWNLOADS%", wpa_get_downloads($attachment->ID), $wpattachments_string);

            $content_l .= '<li class="' . $class . '">' . $wpattachments_string . '</li>';

            }
        $content_l .= '</ul>';
        }
	if ($somethingtoshow == 1) {
		$content .= $content_l;
	} else {
		$content .= 'No downloads available!';
	}
    return $content;
}

Basically, it’s the same function as wpatt_content_filter, but I’ve added a couple of lines if no attachments are available:

if ($somethingtoshow == 1) {
		$content .= $content_l;
	} else {
		$content .= 'No downloads available!';
	}

The only risk is that these changes may be overwritten in case of a plugin update, but for the moment, these changes work well for me. Please note that I’m not checking whether the plugin is activated or any other checks; I’m doing these steps elsewhere in my theme, so you may want to check whether the function, wpatt_content_filter exists before using it, else you’ll see a white screen.
