    I have used this plugin in many of my sites. But I am now doing a site for a VFW that will maintain their website going forward and I would like to simplify it as much as possible as they are not technical. My thought is to create a page with a password and have them upload from their. Then I was hoping that I could use this plug in to grab those file from the 1 specific directory and list them. This way once they upload the file it is instantly listed on the below webpage.

    The upload page is private right now but it is using “WordPress File Upload”

    Hi dhbjr,

    I’m not directly familiar with that particular plugin, but if it allows you to attach the files uploaded to a specific post/page then that should be really easy. You would just need to include the raw [dg] shortcode on that page and files would automatically be shown on that same page as soon as anyone uploads.

    If the plugin doesn’t attach the file then that’s not nearly as easy. Since the plugin works with attachments rather than files (subtle difference), you would need to write code to manually go an find the attachment ID for each file uploaded through the plugin and then programatically generate the shortcode explicitly including each of those attachments by ID. Not impossible and I’ve done something similar for a previous job, but not trivial by any means.

    Hope that helps and feel free to follow up if you have any other questions!
