WP-Filebase Pro introduces a custom post type with the slug wpfb_filepage, called Filepage. In third-party Plugins that support custom post type it appears as “File” (this singular name).
Filepages integrate into the WordPress post system and enable some known fuctionalities from Posts and Pages:
- User comments on files
- Navmenus
- Tag Clouds
- Other Plugins (e.g. file ratings, search like Relevanssi)
Filepages provide an interface for other plugins, like FacetWP (See FacetWP the demo)
WP-Filebase Pro files meta data for every file page that you can use in queries or templates. The fields basically are similar to the template fields from the file/category/list templates.
| Meta Key | Details |
|---|---|
| file_category_name | The human-readable name of the file’s main category. If file has no category (in root folder), this meta key is not present. |
| file_custom_* | Any custom field |
| file_hits | Number of downloads |
| file_icon_url | For use in templates:<img class="thumb" src="<?php echo esc_url( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'file_icon_url', true ) ); ?>" alt="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" /> |
| file_id | The ID of the actual file the file page belongs to |
| file_is_public | If the file is public, useful for query filtering (0 or 1) |
| file_size | Number. The size in bytes of the file, for sorting (like 74527) |
| file_size_formatted | String. The formatted file size for use in a template (like “73.9 KiB”) |
| file_version | File version string |
| file_url | HTTP(S) or FTP URL of the file |
| file_attach_order |
When displaying a Filepage, WordPress falls back to the single.php template of your current theme. You can create a custom theme template for file pages, just create the file single-wpfb_filepage.php in your theme directory.
Custom Taxonomy: File Category
