    Well, when you’re uploading to the server, there’s no post_meta. It’s just the files. So in order to display the user who uploaded the file, that name would have to be appended to the filename as customdata (File Away style). When you use the File Up uploader, you can rename the files before pressing “File Up”. For the time being, you would have to rename a file:

    myfile [My Name]

    in square brackets like that at the end (prior to the extension if you’re not using File Up). Then in your File Away shortcode, you would do this:

    [fileaway type=table customdata="Uploaded By"]

    Then it would put the [My Names]’s from all the files into the “Uploaded By” column on the table.

    I can work on an automated solution, where it will rename the files by appending the uploader’s display_name or first_name last_name, if they are logged in when uploading, but in the meantime, you’ll have to rename the uploaded files manually as you’re uploading them.

    I just added the automated uploader name thing to version 2.7, now available. Add uploader="true" to your File Up shortcode, then add customdata="Uploaded By" to your File Away table shortcode.

    ^ Amazing Thom. Can’t stop recommending this plugin. Big kudos.
