manager mode question

Sorry. The mechanisms of each mode get in the way of each other. You could create a custom little function that would allow them to enable and disable manager mode. Give me a couple minutes and I’ll give you an example.

Here, add this to your theme’s functions.php file.

class my_custom_fileaway_class
{
	public function __construct()
	{
		add_shortcode('fa_manager_toggle', array($this, 'toggle'));
	}
	public function toggle()
	{
		if(!class_exists('fileaway')) return false;
		if(isset($_REQUEST['fa_manager']))
		{
			$link = fileaway_utility::querystring(get_permalink(), $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"], array('fa_manager'), true);
			$output = '<a class="your-css-class" href="'.$link.'" target="_self">Disable Manager Mode</a><br>';
			$output .= do_shortcode('[fileaway directories=true manager=true]');
		}
		else
		{
			$link = fileaway_utility::querystring(get_permalink(), $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"], array('fa_manager' => '1'));
			$output = '<a class="your-css-class" href="'.$link.'" target="_self">Enable Manager Mode</a><br>';
			$output .= do_shortcode('[fileaway directories=true playback=extended]');
		}
		return $output;
	}
}
new my_custom_fileaway_class;

You’ll want to modify the shortcodes, and you can specify the css class for the link.

Then on your page, just use this shortcode:

[fa_manager_toggle]

I added the code to the functions.php file but it gave me an error that the } in line 6 was “unexpected” and wouldn’t allow my site to load.

It works fine in my functions.php.

Can you show me the lines before and after the code I provided, including line 6?

Or you could email me your functions.php file to [email protected] and I’ll find your syntax error and send it back to you.

I copied and pasted exactly what you had here:

class my_custom_fileaway_class
{
public function __construct()
{
add_shortcode(‘fa_manager_toggle’, array($this, ‘toggle’));
}
public function toggle()
{
if(!class_exists(‘fileaway’)) return false;
if(isset($_REQUEST[‘fa_manager’]))
{
$link = fileaway_utility::querystring(get_permalink(), $_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”], array(‘fa_manager’), true);
$output = ‘Disable Manager Mode
‘;
$output .= do_shortcode(‘[fileaway directories=true manager=true]’);
}
else
{
$link = fileaway_utility::querystring(get_permalink(), $_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”], array(‘fa_manager’ => ‘1’));
$output = ‘Enable Manager Mode
‘;
$output .= do_shortcode(‘[fileaway directories=true playback=extended]’);
}
return $output;
}
}
new my_custom_fileaway_class;

Yes, I need to see what’s in your file before and after what you copied and pasted. The syntax error is not in my code.

ok I must have done something wrong the first time, the error went away. But now it is showing all my files instead of the directory that I specified.

As I said, you’ll need to modify the shortcodes in the custom code provided. Or, give me the shortcodes that you had originally, and I will modify it for you and post it here.

These two lines are the lines that you need to modify:

$output .= do_shortcode('[fileaway directories=true manager=true]');

and

$output .= do_shortcode('[fileaway directories=true playback=extended]');

Just modify the shortcode part. One should have manager mode enabled. The other should have playback enabled, as exampled.

ok thanks!

No problem.
