WP File Download Plugin

Date: 18th January 2008 at 5:14 pm | Filed under: development, plugins, wordpress | Author: Sam Burdge

This WordPress plugin allows you to attach a download file to any post or page via the write/edit page in WordPress. It also forces files that would usually open in the user's web browser, such as jpg, mp3 or pdf to download to the their desktop instead. At the moment it only allows one attachment per post/page, but it's beauty is in it's simplicity.

Installation:

  1. Download the plugin file here: WP File Download Plugin (1.0)
  2. Upload the wp-digi-clock folder to your wp-content/plugins folder
  3. Activate the plugin from the plugins page

Usage:

  1. Upload a file via the WordPress upload form or FTP
  2. Enter the full URL to the file (including http://www.) into the box in the 'File for download' tab in the right sidebar in the Write/Edit page in WordPress

Adding your own Download Image:

  1. Replace the file plugins/wp_file_download/download-button.png with any image file of the same name.

Example:

    this plugin is a great idea, but it would be much more useful if it could upload the file and then display it for download.

    Hi Senise
    You can use the wordpress upload form already provided to upload the file. The point in this is that only files uploaded by that form will show up in your wordpress uploads page, and under the 'browse all' tab in the write page. Files uploaded by ftp or other means will not show up in your list of uploads.

    Hi Exinco
    It should work for any file type, but it will always prompt the user to download the file (It forces files that would usually open in the user’s web browser, such as jpg, mp3 or pdf to download to the their computer instead).
    Try it out and let me know if you have any problems.

wordpress monthly navigation

Date: 25th October 2007 at 4:11 pm | Filed under: development, scripts, wordpress | Author: Sam Burdge

This article explains how to create a monthly navigation system for one or more categories in wordpress, or on the home page itself. By this I mean that on the first page it would display only posts from the current month. The next and previous page links would be replaced by next and previous month links.

To display the monthly content it is first necessary to create a custom query. This should be done before the loop begins. Here is an example of the custom query php:

    Could you make this into a plugin? I’m looking for this for ages, using an old next/previous month plugin which works, but not with permalinks enabled. This is a link to that old plugin.

wp plugin - remove www. from url

Date: 18th October 2007 at 6:11 pm | Filed under: development, plugins, wordpress | Author: Sam Burdge

A slight variation from my previous wordpress plugin 'Force www. in URL'.

This plugin removes the www. from the url regardless of what the user has typed or the link they have followed.This type of redirection is usualy done by altering the .htaccess file, which some Wordpress users may not have access to. Using a plugin to do this is an easy solution for WordPress users as the setup process is simple, and will be familiar to most of you.

Instructions:

  1. Download the plugin file here: Remove www. Plugin (rar) | Remove www. Plugin (zip)
  2. Upload the php file into your plugins folder (/wp-content/plugins/)
  3. Go to your plugins page in WordPress and activate the plugin

    Do you know how to undo this plugin? After activating this plugin I can’t login to my wp-admin anymore. I have Wordpress 2.6.2. When I try to go to wp-admin or wp-login.php it redirects me to http://nl../wp-admin instead of http://mydomain/wp-admin

wp plugin - force www. in url

Date: 12th October 2007 at 6:21 pm | Filed under: development, plugins, wordpress | Author: Sam Burdge

This nifty little WordPress plugin will force the url to include the 'www.' part of the url string. Useful if you want your address to be displayed in a particular way regardless of how the user types it in. To see how it works delete the www. from your address bar (i.e. http://samburdge.co.uk) and press return. This type of redirection is usualy done by altering the .htaccess file, which some Wordpress users may not have access to. Using a plugin to do this is an easy solution for WordPress users as the setup process is simple, and will be familiar to most of you.

Instructions:

  1. Download the plugin file here: URL to Full URL Plugin (rar) | URL to Full URL Plugin (zip)
  2. Upload the php file into your plugins folder (/wp-content/plugins/)
  3. Go to your plugins page in WordPress and activate the plugin
