Very cool, good work. I appreciate it.

That fixed the problem. Thank you so much!

yeah everything works on the front end. It’ just in the settings window it does that.

You’re right, I do see it there in the source.

Do you have any idea what types would be conflicting with it?

Just out of curiosity is there an ability for us to shortcode an upload form or something to a page? I’d like to be able to create a page that a specific user could upload to a folder. Is that possible currently?

Sure, I’ll have to go through and comment on all the changes i’ve made just so you can see where i’ve done them. I need to document my changes for the business anyways. I’m not that great when it comes to PHP and wordpress, i’m sure you’ll find my changes laughable and maybe be able to improve upon it.

I’ll write back here once i get that done.

I was able to get this accomplished using the show_social permissions. It really didn’t take much to do just time consuming. Switching the conditionals for the downloads to check for social’s boolean and then eliminating the social buttons from being displayed and renaming the Show Social items allows this to work perfectly.

I’m sorry I had to hack it up to get it to work this way and I know it’s not your intentional design to the plugin but i do hope you add more customized permission system later on like this.

Thanks for the talk.

The reason is because this site i’m doing will have only two users and those users will be shared by a community of people. This would be a lot easier to manage if they weren’t shared users but unfortunately this is the type of requirements my client has…

I also would like to mention that i ripped out the google docs previewer because it bypassed “download” permissions.

I’ve replaced it with a local version of PDF.js if you’re interested I can show you how i achieved that and you can do native pdf viewing with it instead of relying on google documents. I know this breaks other document types being viewable but the specific site i’m doing won’t be doing any other types except PDF.

you could add a custom preview type for PDFs only.

That being said, what permission(s) is/are file specific and can be View-ably renamed easily without breaking functionality and are also not absolutely required? I don’t need the social stuff, i don’t need the sharing, can they be “renamed” essentially and work as a permission setting for specific files? can i just redo the download to essentially if is share then display download link and not break anything else?

Currently to my understanding the only way download permissions are setup by the plugin are user and role based. Is that correct?

If so then what I want is the ability to say this file is allowed to be downloaded, where as the next file i uploaded i don’t want to be downloaded. Not really specific to the file types, just the file itself. So if i have files a b c d e in the folder called “files” and i display that folder on a page, i don’t want files a b to be downloadable but i want c d and e to be downloadable? I hope that makes sense. The site i’m currently developing I need to be able to restrict only specific files from being downloadable or printable.

I’ve already modified the plugin to remove the download button all together but i want that to be specific to the file being viewed. The site i’m developing is very copy protected and currently your plugin is the nearest full featured document management solution available that allows me to display documents in a listed format and make them preview-able.
