Hi Diggidy, thank you for your feedback. I would like at some point to integrate dropzone.js, which allows to drag and drop files and also provides filtering for file types, sizes, etc. Cannot guarantee on dates, though…

Hi all guys – thank you for your interest in my plugin. This issue should now be sorted in the new version 1.1

For Zinnmark: the ‘Trusted Authors’ list only allows post/pages created or last modified by certain users to host a file repository. You should add your username (your login name) or your user ID to this list, or set the entire list blank to allow any user (with the ability to publish a post) to host a file repository. You find the ‘Trusted Authors’ list in the permissions settings tab of the backend options of the plugin.

Hope this helps…

Not yet. The repository is purely read from the filesystem at the moment. I will at some point add interaction with the WP database, so that metadata such as descriptions, number of downloads, etc. can be associated to files.

Well, Smallerik File Browser, by default, links files to an internal download script. This is needed to support the situation where files are stores outside the web root, where a simple link would not work. It will also support, in the future, functionality to log the download actions (for logging purposes, or to update a download counter, for example).

However, if you store your files inside the web root (which is also a default setting) you could set the plugin to use standard links to the files, so that other plugins might do their things to the files, as you suggest. To achieve this, you go to the ‘Display Options’ of the ‘Smallerik FiB’ menu entry in the backend, and change the ‘Type of link to the files’ from ‘Link through scripts’ to any of the other available options.

This could do the trick. Please report if you manage to make it work.

Sure, that should be possible. It could be somehow arranged from the backend, with the ability to register certain file extensions with plugins (which, of course, need to be installed for this to work). Stay tuned for new versions…

Similar functionality, for other file types, is currently included in the commercial version (just 5 euros to support development) where you can preview files with GoogleDocs (PDFs, DOCs, etc.) or, for image files, with Lightbox by Lokesh Dhakar (which in this case is integrated with Smallerik File Browser ‘pro’).

Sure! The new WP plugin will be ready in a couple of days (I am cleaning up the code and adding the backend parameters). Please send me an email (you’ll get it in the support page for JSmallfib on smallerik.com) and we’ll take it from there.

René, I’ve just come across your post. Did you manage to find a WP plugin that emulates what JSmallfib does in Joomla? I would be very interested to know if you worked out a solution, as I am in the final stage of the process of porting JSmallfib to the WordPress platform. Perhaps you’d be interested in a beta test?
