Managing Files

Files are managed on the website using the WP-Filebase plugin. To add a file to the website, go to the Dashboard and click on WP-Filebasemenu option.

Then select Files and a list of the current files will be displayed. Next to the page title, Manage Files, is a Batch Upload button.

Click on it. A new page will be displayed where you can drag a file from your Windows Explorer onto the Drop Files Here area.

Then select the file(s) you wish to add to the website. Note that files are listed on the website based upon their Category.

You will need to assign a category for each file so that it will be properly displayed on the appropriate page.

For instance, if you are adding a new Agenda, make the name of the file the date (in year-month-day format) followed by Agenda. This will ensure that the Agenda will be sorted in the page listing correctly. Then select the Agenda category as you fill in the descriptive information about the file.

If there is not an appropriate category for the file, then select the Category menu item in the dashboard and add the appropriate category.

However, it is possible that there is no page where this new category displays files. You will then need to create a new page or adjust the shortcode in an existing page to display the file.

For a particular listing of the files by category to be shown on a page, a shortcode something like this,

[ wpfilebase tag=list id=7 tpl=data-table pagenav=1 / ].

will appear on the page.  WP-Filebase will replace that shortcode with a listing of the files.  The result of the shortcode will produce a file listing something like this:

To learn more about creating shortcodes, you can either read the documentation for the WP-Filebase plugin or contact the super administrator.
